Abstract:
In view of the major role played by the construction industry all over world, it has been noted that this fact is drawing a huge number of scholars into developing some interest in studying the industry more intensively. This study seeks to study the industry in Kenya with the view to establishing whether Kenya’s construction industry is growing, stagnant or retarding. Data was collected from the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) and analyzed using graphical and exponential trend analysis methods. Results showed that construction industry in Kenya has been decelerating from 1977 to 2021. There is therefore a need to formulate policy to encourage investment to enable the industry return to a growth trajectory, and more effectively meet the ever-increasing demand for constructed facilities.
