BE Growth Index 2026 Findings Report Download

The Built Environment Growth Index 
Annual sector health data for built environment manufacturers.

Benchmark your growth against 42 peers across differentiation, marketing effectiveness, specification presence, and more. Year two findings now available.

The 2026 BE Growth Index measures how manufacturers in the built environment compete across six critical dimensions. We surveyed 42 companies to create a sector baseline on growth confidence, pricing power, customer understanding, and the gaps holding back market share.

In 2026, marketing effectiveness sits at 49.3. Specification presence lags at 57.1. Yet companies solving for differentiation early see better outcomes.
