This publication focuses primarily on the U.S. domestic construction market, which is also a lagging reflec- tion of the country's economic health. The broad picture is not dramati- cally different from last year, FMI said.

FMI publishes the U.S. Markets Construction Overview annually. The Overview includes a compre- hensive report on vital construction trends and forecasts the growth or de- cline in each market segment, noting both short-term and long-term consid- erations.
