Australia | Construction upswing a boon for domestic demand
The outlook for the construction industry was relatively benign leading into 2020, with residential construction activity in particular still declining from its peak in 2018.

- Non-residential, residential, and engineering construction all have markedly higher input requirements from other industries
- Multiplier effects across types of construction are broadly similar
- Import penetration varies by industry, limiting the upside for manufacturers from a pickup in construction activity
