「Shortage of workers at construction sites Growing demand for safer scaffolding Growing demand for labor saving and easier assembly」
The shortage of workers at construction sites was presented as a driver of growing demand not only arising from construction constraints, but also for greater safety, labor saving and easier assembly. - FY2026-H1WorsenedAnnual report
「In addition to shortages and the aging of skilled workers, soaring construction material prices restrained new construction starts. The number of starts fell sharply to 299,191 units, down 18.6% year on year, while total floor space started fell 14.3% to 35,347 thousand sq. m., and demand remained weak.」
In addition to the longstanding labor shortage, the aging of skilled workers and soaring material prices are cited together, with constraints at construction sites becoming evident in the substantial declines in the number of starts and floor space. - FY2025RestatedAnnual report
