The lists prepared by Engineering News-Record (ENR) magazine, taking into account the data it receives in many fields every year, are seen as a great source of prestige for the construction industry. In its bulletin titled “Market Volatility Smooths Gains”, which was included in the “Top 250 Global Contractor” list published by Engineering News-Record (ENR) magazine this month, it was stated that the incomes of contractors increased by 0.5% compared to last year; It is noted that it reached 501.2 billion dollars.
We are accustomed to hearing the name frequently in recent years; The lists prepared by Engineering News-Record (ENR) magazine, which is followed especially by the construction industry, did not break its tradition this year and was published in August. Industry professionals closely follow the annual rankings published by Engineering News-Record because the methodology focuses primarily on revenue generated from projects performed outside a company’s home country. This approach highlights firms that are capable of competing in international markets, managing complex infrastructure projects, and adapting to different regulatory environments. As a result, the ranking is often viewed not only as a financial comparison but also as an indicator of global operational capability.
on earth FORBES And FORTUNE The lists published by ENR magazine are as important for the construction industry as the lists published by the magazines are for companies. Including construction companies doing business on a global basis “Top 250 Global Contractors” The list is described as a study accepted and approved by all authorities in the world.
One of the most important mistakes made while examining this list prepared by ENR is ignoring that the list was prepared by taking into account the previous year’s data. In other words, these lists, published in August 2025, are prepared taking into account 2024 data.
Turkish Contractors managed to maintain their place in the worldwide market this year, as every year. While Türkiye is represented on the list with 45 companies, we see that it maintains its 2nd place in the list of countries. ENR published this year “Top 250 Global Contractors” This year, as every year, China is the leader in the list with 76 companies. America ranks third with 42 companies.
ENR’s “Top 250 Contractors” including the list “Market Volatility Smooths Gains” In the bulletin titled, he pointed out that the difficulties for contractors are increasing. This bulletin seems to mention that disruptions in the supply chain and cost volatility have shaken some global markets and brought losses to others. However, he points out that even though the project conditions became difficult, the contractors provided their basic services and benefited from regional relations. There is information that the increase in the marginal revenue increases of the 250 companies in the list published this year may be a signal of a deepening change in the construction industry, which is struggling with unpredictable and rapid fluctuations in material, labor and equipment costs.
According to the information in the bulletin, when we look at the data for 2024, we see that the revenues of the companies on this list increased by 0.5% and reached 501.2 billion dollars.
45 Turkish Contractors Included in the “World’s Top 250 International Contractors” List Published by ENR Magazine in 2025
When we look at the number of companies and the general situation in previous years, we see that while our country was represented by 43 companies in the list last year, this number increased to 45 this year. While China ranks first in the list with 76 companies; Türkiye ranks second with 45 companies and the USA ranks third with 42 companies.
When the relevant data is examined, it is seen that Turkish contractors take an active role mainly in the Middle East and the European continent, including Russia. Moreover, as a result of the available data, it seems that Turkish contractors are ahead of Chinese and Korean companies by increasing their share, especially in Western Europe.
We see that the number of Contractor companies in the top 100 in the 2025 “ENR The Top 250 Contractor” lists prepared with the data of 2024 is 8 this year.
We are accustomed to hearing the names of 8 Turkish contractor companies that managed to enter the top 100 this year. “ENKA Construction, Renaissance Construction, Limak Construction, Çalık Energy, ESTA ConstructionTAV Construction, ANT Yapı, Gülermak“ It would not be wrong to think that companies direct the world construction industry.
