Emerging economies such as China, India, Malaysia, Indonesia, Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, and others are some of the major markets for MCA.

China among other emerging economies is the largest construction market. In 2016, China’s construction industry grew at 17%, a 5% increase from 2015. This growth was augmented by policy changes such as strong fiscal stimulus for infrastructure investments and easing of real estate regulations, purchase criteria, and credit availability which resulted in the growth of the domestic real estate market. Infrastructure investment will further improve, driven by mandates to meet regional development plans, initiatives such as “Belt and Road” and development of smart cities which will include optimization of urban space through public transport, high-capacity infrastructure, mixed-use development, and green city planning. In India, the constant economic growth of around 7.5% driven by government initiatives such as FDI allowance, improved policy framework, and low commodity prices have provided a strong stimulus to the construction industry. Recent deregulations for the ease of doing business are attracting foreign investments. In addition, modernization of the construction industry also drives the MCA market.
