About the Conference
Current forecasts indicate steady growth across the Asian construction sector in 2025, fuelled by substantial government investment in infrastructure, rapid urbanisation, and population expansion. Southeast Asia, in particular, is expected to experience robust growth driven by public sector projects.
Despite the positive outlook for both regional and global construction and infrastructure markets, firms continue to face a range of persistent and emerging challenges. Climate risk remains a critical concern across short-, medium-, and long-term horizons. Inflationary pressures persist in several economies, recession risks linger, and material price volatility shows no signs of abating.
Trade uncertainty has intensified following President Trump’s April announcement on tariffs, which could further strain already fragile supply chains. Additionally, the push towards sustainability and net-zero targets introduces new risks related to the adoption of alternative materials. However, the most immediate threat is the ongoing labour shortage, which jeopardises the industry’s ability to realise its growth potential.
In response, contractors and project owners are placing greater emphasis on risk governance. Risk management functions are gaining influence, budgets are being reallocated, and strategies for risk financing and transfer are evolving.
The Construction Risk Management Asia Conference 2025, now in its third year, will convene senior risk leaders from across the industry – including contractors, project owners, insurers, brokers, and service providers – for a day of dynamic discussion. The event will explore how organisations are adapting their risk strategies and how the role of risk leaders is evolving to address both current and future threats.
