Expected growth for the industry sector in 2025
27/01/2025
2025 will be a good year for the European construction sector, which will experience a recovery thanks to positive indicators such as rising house prices, as an ING report shows.
It will be a slow process, but the sector will experience a 0.5% growth this year. A marginal growth that comes after a year of decline represents an optimistic sign.
What is being done well
In light of the report, several key points need to be addressed when analyzing the cause of these good expectations:
- House prices are rising: house prices are rising once more, which means that building new houses is now a more attractive proposition for project developers. Also, this enables them to cover the costs of increased building materials. Specially, the Netherlands is seen as the most attractive country to buyers, and Germany and Spain are on the low of the list.
- Infrastructure investments: the infrastructure approach to the economic cycle has improved, becoming more resilient, especially by the investments made by the local and central governments.
- Growth indicators in engineering developments
