The construction industry continues to be a cornerstone of economic growth, enabling critical infrastructure, housing, and the assets that support the global energy and digital transitions. In 2026, however, the risk environment remains complex. Geopolitical volatility, shifting trade dynamics, and uneven economic conditions continue to influence project pipelines, costs, and contract performance. How the insurance industry responds to these trends is critical to economic stability across many industries, including construction.
Marsh’s Construction Market Update Q1 2026 provides a regional view of insurance capacity, pricing, coverage, and underwriting in response to the evolving landscape. The report is organized across seven regions: Asia, India, Middle East and Africa (IMEA), Europe, Latin America and Caribbean (LAC), Pacific, the United Kingdom (UK), and the United States & Canada.
