16.07.202606:00:00UTC+00UK Construction Output Contracts 0.8% in May, Reversing April’s Modest Growth

United Kingdom construction output declined by 0.8% month-over-month in May 2026, reversing the slight growth recorded a month earlier, according to data updated on 16 July 2026. The drop follows a 0.1% increase in April 2026, highlighting renewed weakness in the sector after a brief period of marginal expansion.

The figures are calculated on a month-over-month basis, comparing May’s performance with April’s, while the previous reading compared April to March. The latest contraction suggests that the construction sector lost momentum at the start of the summer period, potentially weighing on broader economic activity if the trend persists in the coming months.
