Industry

Demolition & Recycling International (D&RI) is inviting demolition businesses from around the world to take part in its annual ranking of the world’s 100 largest demolition contractors by turnover.

Recognised as a leading benchmark for the global demolition industry, the list provides an overview of the sector and showcases the scale and capability of participating businesses. There is no cost to enter, and the rankings will be published in October 2026 alongside the World Demolition Summit in Madrid.

Companies will be ranked using their 2025 turnover. If final 2025 figures are not yet available, entrants may submit either a reasonable estimate for 2025 or their confirmed 2024 turnover.

The submission deadline is 13 September 2026.

As part of the survey, businesses will also be asked to provide information on:

  • The average number of demolition projects completed each year
  • The proportion of demolition contracts valued at more than US$1 million, US$5 million and US$10 million
  • The total number of full-time employees
  • Fleet composition, including excavators, high-reach excavators, demolition robots, mobile crushers and screens, loaders, attachment tools, and other specialist equipment

We encourage NFDC members to take part and showcase the strength of the UK demolition industry. Completed entry forms should be returned to the editor at neel.madsen@khl.com.
