Europe Construction Market - Overview

Construction includes building new buildings, roads, residences, railroads, and other structures, as well as renovating or repairing existing ones. It also involves several procedures like planning, financing, and developing the assets so that they are used. The physical and technological foundations upon which modern civilization grew were laid by the construction sector, which plays a key role in the economic development of an area. Also, the rise in eco-awareness is hastening the creation of energy-efficient, net-zero structures. Aerial lifts, backhoe loaders, cranes, excavators, and welders are just a few of the various tools and equipment used in the construction industry.

Growth Drivers

Rapid Urbanization and Increasing investments in Sustainable Infrastructure

Cities are becoming more populated, and domestic manufacturing is on the rise. Strong increase is being seen in the residential sector, particularly in the single-family construction sector. The non-residential building business has also seen growth throughout history, which has helped the Europe construction market grow even more. The modernization of transportation infrastructure is assisting market expansion as well.

Countrywide Massive Urban Redevelopment & Recovery Programs across Türkiye and Ukraine

Major companies in Europe construction market are expected to gain from significant opportunities provided by the massive infrastructure redevelopment projects in earthquake-hit Türkiye and war-ravaged Ukraine.

On February 06, 2023, a 7.8-magnitude of earthquake hit Türkiye and Syria, killing tens of thousands of people and severely damaging infrastructure in cities and villages across its fault line. The President of Türkiye announced that the government would engage in a comprehensive construction program to rebuild cities with safety and sustainability. Analysts estimated that the urban redevelopment across Türkiye in the wake of earthquakes would provide huge opportunities for the construction and related industries in total investment of more than USD 250 billion.

In Ukraine, Russia’s war in the country has been continuing for more than a year now. Consequently, infrastructure across Ukraine has been severely damaged. In September 2022, Ukraine government, the European Commission, and the World Bank, along with their partners estimated the cost of Ukraine’s reconstruction and recovery would be about USD 350 billion. As the war continues, the cost is anticipated to escalate.

Massive redevelopment and recovery projects in Türkiye and Ukraine are expected to provide lucrative growth opportunities for construction and supplementary industries. It, in turn, is projected to aid the growth of Europe construction market during the forecast period between 2023 and 2029 and beyond.

Restraints

High Material Costs

Due to rising material costs throughout history, construction expenses have been gradually rising. Due to increased material costs, such as the $41.96 per barrel of crude oil needed to make asphalt and the 112% increase in softwood timber prices in February 2021 over the same month in 2020, businesses in the industry saw only modest increases in earnings. Therefore, during the historical period, high material prices affected the profit margin of the construction companies in Europe.

Impact of COVID-19 on Europe Construction Market

The COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected the construction market in Europe. The scarcity of raw materials, combined with logistical difficulties, did not bode well for top companies looking to expand their portfolios. Several projects, including those involving buildings, construction, and irrigation, have been temporarily halted or abandoned. The resumption of economic activity in both emerging and advanced economies may stimulate industry growth.
