New playing rules in the construction industry
Transformation agenda 2030 for companies in the construction supply industry
Content of the study
Through no fault of their own, the current COVID-19 crisis is presenting many companies with major challenges that are accompanied by enormous losses in sales and earnings. The global lockdown has brought the economy to a standstill around the world, while the pandemic is also leading to new patterns of behaviour at customer and decision-maker level.
The construction industry was already undergoing a fundamental process of change before the pandemic, driven by digitalisation, the shortage of skilled workers and increasing energy efficiency requirements. COVID-19 is now further accelerating this transformation process. In the next decade, the entire value chain of the construction and construction supply industry will change more than it has in the past 70 years: digital processes and the digital building envelope will become standard, consolidation will be massively accelerated, sales and logistics concepts will change fundamentally and energy-efficient products, systems and solutions will be significantly promoted, while customer needs will continue to change.
This is turning the requirements for successful business models in the construction supply industry upside down - the success factors of the 2020s will differ significantly from those of previous years. That is why we at S&B Strategy have formulated five theses for companies in the construction supply industry and translated them into a 2030 transformation agenda. In it, we discuss the key drivers affecting the market, customers and competition and highlight success factors and areas of action for companies.
