According to the ICON 100 Index by International Construction magazine, the top 100 construction companies generated $1.897 trillion in 2024, down from $2.122 trillion in 2023.

China dominates the construction industry right now, mainly because the top four firms on the list are all Chinese. Just those four alone pull in $718 billion in sales.
