Skanska Building Operations releases Fall 2025 Construction Market Trends Report
Skanska, a leading global construction and project development firm, has released its Fall 2025 Construction Market Trends Report. Leveraging its Composite Construction Index, the report delivers in-depth analysis and critical insights into the current state of the construction industry, highlighting the impact of tariff exposure, labor shortages, policy uncertainty and sector performance.
"Aswe approach the end of the year, the U.S. construction market is shaped by both volatility and opportunity," said Steve Stouthamer, Executive Vice President of Project Planning at Skanska USA Building. "Despite ongoing challenges with material costs and labor availability, strong demand in high-growth sectors such as data centers, semiconductor facilities, and pharmaceutical manufacturing is expected to drive momentum in the market as we move into 2026."
With experience across diverse sectors nationwide and globally, Skanska brings a unique perspective on emerging industry trends, with key report highlights including:
* Total construction starts were up 3.1 percent in September 2025 to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $1.26 trillion, driven mainly by nonbuilding with modest gains in residential construction.
- Year-to-date starts increased 3.5 percent compared to 2024. Nonresidential building starts declined by 6.2 percent in September but are up 5 percent year-over-year.
* Construction costs remain volatile, especially for key materials like steel, metals, and lumber
- The current administration has announced a blanket 10 percent tariff on all lumber imports, effective October 14, 2025, which early estimates suggest will have limited immediate impact on lumber pricing.
- Copper pricing has stabilized after collapsing in July, when it was announced that exemptions were included in the refined and scrap copper tariffs, which make up over 80 percent of annual copper imports.
- Structural steel pricing continues to move slowly and steadily upward, including recent increases of $35/ton on wide flange steel and $60/ton on plate steel, with increased lead times of 14-18 weeks.
- Aluminum prices continue to push record highs. Nickel prices are down and have stabilized.
- Overall pricing remains elevated due to sustained demand from high-tech sectors such as data centers, semiconductor fabrication, and other copper-intensive construction.
* In August 2025, construction unemployment was 3.2 percent, with a drop of 7,000 jobs over the month driven mainly by decreases in nonresidential construction.
- Industry employment has grown only 0.7 percent year-over year. A persistent labor shortfall, estimated at approximately 450,000 workers, continues to pressure wages, which may rise to retain talent. Data centers continue to see strong demand, fueled by AI and cloud computing expansion.
* Similarly, semiconductor and pharmaceutical manufacturing benefit from federal incentives and reshoring trends, positioning them for robust investment in the near term. This increase in demand is straining structural steel mill capacity, resulting in longer lead times, and contributing to elevated copper prices.
On Thursday, December 4, Skanska will host a public webinar: Meeting Market Demand and Overcoming Labor Constraints, where Skanska leaders will be joined by industry experts to share their insights around alternatives to labor constraints including off-site manufacture and prefabrication, approaches that can help accelerate schedules, enhance quality, and mitigate labor shortages and onsite safety risks.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25 -- InterDigital Inc., Wilmington, Delaware, a technology research and development company, announced that it secured a second injunction against Disney from a court in Germany. The Munich Regional Court ruled that InterDigital is entitled to the injunction, finding that Disney infringed an InterDigital patent related to the streaming of video content using high dynamic range (HDR) technology.
InterDigital confirmed that Disney can appeal the decision. This judgment follows a separate injunction granted by the same German court regarding Disney's infringement of a patent fordynamically overlaying video streams. A court in Brazil previously granted a preliminary injunction in InterDigital's favor over both patents.
The company stated that the patents involved in the lawsuits underscore the breadth of its video research, which includes technology for efficient content delivery and enabling high-quality visual experiences.
InterDigital suggested that Disney should pay fair value for the technology that is essential to its streaming success.

Dentons Secures Major Jury Trial Victory for Yealink in Patent Infringement Case
Dentons Intellectual Property and Technology trial team is pleased to announce a significant courtroom victory for Yealink Network Technology Co., Ltd. in a high-stakes patent infringement lawsuit brought by Barco, Inc. in federal court in the Eastern District of Texas. The case centered on allegations of ongoing infringement, willful infringement, and substantial damages. After a hard-fought trial, the jury returned a verdict fully alignedwith Dentons' arguments--finding no ongoing infringement, no willful infringement, and awarding only minimal damages, a fraction of the amount sought by Barco. Throughout the proceedings, Barco had requested damages several times higher than the final award.
Dentons' strategy also included initiating more than a dozen parallel patent challenges, including inter partes reviews - all of which have been instituted by the US Patent and Trademark Office to date, further reinforcing the client's position.
This success reflects the strength and collaboration of Dentons' Intellectual Property and Technology team, led by partners Stephen Yang and Victor Johnson, with key contributions from associates Forrest Gothia and Haley Eastham. Additional support came from counsel Kevin Greenleaf and partner Tim Bickham. Litigation partner Reid Ashinoff provided pivotal trial support, ensuring the team's success.
This outcome underscores Dentons' commitment to delivering exceptional results in complex intellectual property disputes. Congratulations to Yealink on this win!
