For decades, the demand patterns for heavy civil construction materials were relatively predictable. Coastal super metros absorbed high density commercial growth, while the Sun Belt steadily absorbed low density residential sprawl. Today, that model is changing. The U.S. is undergoing a significant geographic realignment of population, wealth, and industry.
The new Demand Level Hotspots provide a more localized view of aggregate demand by bringing together population and growth patterns with construction and development activity.
The start of 2026 is showing a fascinating split in the aggregates market. While major industry players reported strong results to close out 2025, the Q1 earnings landscape is proving to be a bit more mixed.
