Value of Project Starts Increases Across Most U.S. Regions in 2014, an Industrial Info News Alert

SUGAR LAND, TX--(Marketwired - Nov 25, 2014) - Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas) -- As of mid-November, the value of U.S. construction starts tracked by Industrial Info for the first three quarters of the year provides a very positive indication of U.S. industrial construction spending. The value of project starts from January through September 2014 was approximately $145.07 billion, an increase of about 19.7% from the same period of 2013, which saw $121.16 billion in industrial construction starts.

Chemical Industry projects and the construction starts for billions of dollars of Oil & Gas (including LNG projects) in Texas and Louisiana make the Southwest market region, which started projects valued at more than $43 billion during the first three quarters, an obvious superstar in terms of project spending growth by dollar amount. However, other market regions have experienced noteworthy growth, which outstrip the Southwest's 32% spending growth on a percentage basis.
