The latest UK S&P Global Construction PMI for Q2 2026 (June) recorded 38.4, a slight rebound from the previous reading of 38.2, but still below the market expectation of 40. Among the sub-sectors, commercial construction showed resilience, while both housebuilding and infrastructure suffered their sharpest recent downturns. Looking ahead, high interest rates and sluggish demand will continue to weigh on short-term momentum, though some firms remain cautiously optimistic about medium- to long-term projects.
