China's latest construction business activity index for Q2 2026 recorded 48.8, rebounding from the previous 48.0 but remaining in contraction territory. Breakdown data shows that infrastructure activities such as civil engineering demonstrate expansion resilience, but the real estate downturn continues to drag down overall performance. It is expected that the construction industry will continue to face volatility in the short term, but may bottom out and rebound in the medium to long term, supported by accelerated special bond issuance and infrastructure policies.
