07.05.202608:30:00UTC+00UK Construction PMI Slumps to 39.7 in April, Deepening Sector Contraction

The United Kingdom’s construction sector moved further into contraction in April 2026, as the S&P Global Construction PMI fell to 39.7, down sharply from 45.6 in March 2026. The latest reading, updated on 07 May 2026, signals a steeper decline in construction activity, remaining well below the 50.0 threshold that separates expansion from contraction.

The drop from March’s level suggests that weakness in the industry has intensified, with April’s figure pointing to a more pronounced downturn in output, orders, or both. While detailed drivers behind the fall were not provided, the continued slide in the PMI underscores mounting pressure on the UK construction sector as it progresses through the second quarter of 2026.
