“After finishing the first quarter down 34 percent, manufacturing starts have recorded an extraordinary
rebound. Year-to-date results through June reported 77 percent growth, thanks in large part to multi-billion-dollar megaprojects,” Guckes said.

The surge in June was powered by construction megaprojects, including the $25 billion Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) Fab 3 facility in Phoenix, Arizona, which alone accounted for nearly half of all manufacturing starts so far this year.
Since May, ConstructConnect has tracked $55 billion in megaprojects, pushing the 2025 total to 33 projects worth $90.3 billion, a remarkable acceleration compared to early-year doldrums, Guckes noted.
