The Philippine Construction Industry ? Building Towards A Steady ...

The building and construction industry is one of the fastest growing business sectors in Philippines. However, much like any other developing nation, the performance of this industry in Philippines too has largely depended on the international economic scenario. For example, during the global recessionary conditions that prevailed in 2009, the overall growth rate in the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) fell to 1.1%. That, in turn, considerably slowed down the progress of the national building and construction sector as well. Over the years, informative and popular trade shows like Worldbex have been instrumental in showcasing all topical information and market trends related to the Philippine construction industry.

The importance of the construction sector in the national economy can easily be gauged from the fact that, since 2006, its share in the total GDP figures has been on a continuous upward trend. With the markets starting to recover after the global downturn, the investments in this sector have also increased manifold, thereby providing further thrust to the development of the building and construction industry. At Worldbex 2012, eminent trade personalities from this sector will be on hand to acquaint participants with the latest business opportunities and investment avenues in this industry.

The building and construction industry also occupies an extremely important position as far as employment and job-creation figures are concerned. As things stand now, this sector employs more than 2 million workers, thereby absorbing well over 5% of the total available manpower in the country. A visit to the Worldbex trade show would be instrumental for visitors to learn more about profitable career opportunities in this sector.

The prices of construction materials are also seen to be moving upwards since the last few years. This has primarily been due to the rise in the price levels of such key construction components like electrical appliances and plumbing tools.

While the Philippine National Construction Corporation is the largest construction company in Philippines, several other domestic corporate houses are also coming forth to join this sector.
