How is Growing Requirement in Building & Construction Raising the Profit Margins of Manufacturers?
Industrial fasteners play a crucial role in promoting safety by joining two or more objects as far as building and construction is concerned. While the industry suffered a setback due to the outbreak of the deadly coronavirus earlier in 2020, the recovery phase is drawing more potential players since the ending of the year.
According to a report titled “Canada- Architecture, Construction, and Engineering”, published by Select USA on 30th September 2019, the Canada construction sector was valued at US$ 126.3 billion, accounting for over 7% of Canada’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) as in 2019. As stated in the report, the sector purchases goods and services from every region of the country while employing approximately 1.4 million people, as in 2018. This not only indicates the progressive future of the building & construction industry but also new opportunities awaiting industrial fastener manufacturers.
According to China – Country Commercial Guide, China’s construction & architectural industry grew 7% from 2015 to 2020, while earnings from this sector reached approximately US$ 220.8 billion in 2020.
