Das Bauforschungsnetzwerk EUROCONSTRUCT®

EUROCONSTRUCT® ist ein unabhängiges Baumarktforschungsnetzwerk mit Partnerinstituten in 19 europäischen Ländern. Das WIFO ist als österreichischer Partner im Netzwerk die Anlaufstelle in Österreich.

Im Fokus der Netzwerkaktivitäten stehen die halbjährlichen Konferenzen. Den inhaltlichen Schwerpunkt der Veranstaltungen bilden die Prognosen zur Entwicklung der Gesamtwirtschaft und des Bausektors in jenen Ländern, in denen das Netzwerk vertreten ist. Die Prognosen werden zweimal jährlich überarbeitet und im Rahmen einer Sommer-Konferenz (Juni) und einer Winter-Konferenz (November oder Dezember) in wechselnden europäischen Städten dem Fachpublikum vorgestellt.

The construction forecasts presented at the 84th Euroconstruct conference show a strong development in the construction industry in 2017. Total construction output is expected to grow dynamically by 3.5 percent in 2017 (constant prices) compared to the previous year. The favourable development is driven by robust economic growth and its positive implications for household income, corporate profits and public finance. This resulted in slightly higher annual growth in 2017 than expected. Growth rates will slow to some extent towards 2020 in both residential construction and non-residential construction, while civil engineering will take over the role of market driver in the medium term. The civil engineering sector is expected to grow at a rate of over 4 percent in 2018 and 2019, respectively. The Euroconstruct Summary Report provides a macroeconomic analysis and an overview of the European construction industry by sectors (housing, non-residential construction and civil engineering; new and renovation, respectively) up to 2020. – With contributions by Ludwig Dorffmeister, Bengt Henricson, Josep R. Fontana, Pekka Pajakkala.

Austria's overall economic performance was much stronger than expected half year ago leading to a GDP growth of 2.8 percent in real terms compared to the previous year. The 84th Euroconstruct conference showed that the dynamic economic upswing also influenced the construction sector positively, leading to a growth pattern similar to the overall economy. Industry surveys from the WIFO-Konjunkturtest confirm this positive picture: since spring 2017, the assessments of Austrian construction firms about the future business situation are on a extraordinarily high level. Such optimistic expectations were last recorded in the 1990s. Additionally over 80 percent of the construction companies stated to have an at least sufficient stock of orders. All construction segments are currently exhibiting positive growth trends, with the strongest increases in non-residential construction and civil engineering. Construction growth will continue in the upcoming years, but speed will slow down towards 2020.
 
The latest construction market forecasts presented at the 84th Euroconstruct conference show two remarkable trends: First, growth in construction output reached its highest value since 2006, shortly before the breakout of the international financial market crisis. Second, in 2017 the European construction market expanded on a broad basis: for the first time since German reunification all countries exhibit a growth in construction. From the current point of view the probability is high that this positive market development will continue during the next years. – With contributions by Anders Bjerre, Jan Blahoňovský, Ludwig Dorffmeister, Josep Ramon Fontana, Anne Kathrin Funk, Anna Gáspár, Paul Groot, James Hastings, Bengt Henricson, Annette Hughes, Michael Klien, Vladimir Lenko, Jean-Pierre Liebaert, Nejra Macic, Ciara Morley, Renaud Muller, Barbora Pospíšilová, Markku Riihimäki, Emmanuel Rozenkier, Radislav Semenov, Mariusz Sochacki, Antonella Stemperini, Amaury de Souancé, Deogratias Urayeneza, Conceição Vital, Michael Weingärtler, Youssef Yacoubi.
