The private industrial sector dominates in terms of average growth. At 19.5%, private industrial construction companies are growing significantly faster than their private peers and their public counterparts.  

This gap likely has to do with smaller private firms being more agile, and thus better able to capture niche manufacturing and data center-related work than larger public players.  

Dealmakers may be able to create significant value by snapping up high-growth private industrial construction companies before they reach scale.
