Key Highlights

·         The Romanian construction industry suffered a recession and slowdown in output due to the financial crisis in 2009. The country recorded a small recovery in 2011, and continued to show signs of recovery until 2012. From January to May 2013 the construction production index recorded an average decline of -7.7%, but began to grow during June-September 2013 as the index grew by an average of 5.1%. This indicates that the industry is still fragile and failing to match its pre-financial-crisis growth rates, but is displaying signs of stability as a basis for sustained recovery. This growth is largely attributed to the increase in the real estate prices and strong support from public investment. According to the National Institute of Statistics (INS), the economy grew by 4.1% in the third quarter of 2013 compared to the same period in 2012.
·         According to the World Economic Forum’s Global Competitiveness Report 2013-2014, Romania ranked 106th out of 148 economies in terms of overall infrastructure quality. The quality of its roads ranked 145th, the quality of its rail infrastructure ranked 82nd, and the quality of its ports ranked 123rd. The government is investing heavily to improve the country’s infrastructure and make it more effective for transport and logistics.
·         In Transparency International’s Corruption Perception Index 2013, Romania is ranked 29th out of the 31 countries in the European Union (EU). The country’s relative difficulty in conducting business and its high level of corruption creates a barrier of entry for new construction companies. In July 2013, Romanian Transport Minister Relu Fenechiu was sentenced to five years in jail on charges of illegally selling second-hand electrical equipment as new. Corruption of this nature is common, and damages the reputation of the construction industry.
·         According to the INS, the country’s exports increased by 8.4% in the first three quarters of 2013, whereas imports decreased by 0.7%. In the second half of 2013, the Romanian government devised a new strategy to increase exports to China, the US, Russia and Arab countries over 2014-2020. The strategy involves the implementation of an advocacy group consisting of multinational companies, banks and foreign business consultants to direct the government in increasing exports and industrial capacity.
·         The Romanian government is introducing a tax on special construction projects, which would result in a yearly cost of RON178, 525 (US$55,104) for each wind turbine in Romania. This could generate an added cost of RON133.9 million (US$41.3 million) for the entire renewable energy sector in Romania, according to the Association for Wind Energy. As a result, construction in the renewable energy sector could be reduced.

Construction in Germany – Key Trends and Opportunities to 2017



The report “Construction in Germany – Key Trends and Opportunities to 2017” by Timetric is now available at RnRMarketResearch.com.com. Contact sales@rnrmarketresearch.com with report name in subject line and your contact details to purchase this report or get your questions answered.

The German construction industry registered a CAGR of 3.00% during the review period (2008−2012). Growth was fuelled by a rise in disposable income and stable employment. Salaries in Germany increased by 9.1% between 2008 and 2012, while the unemployment rate stood at 5.3% in 2012. This demand factor contributed to a steady increase in construction activity during the review period. Growth was also supported by investments in the country’s export-oriented industrial sector, which accounted for 26.1% of the country’s GDP in 2012. The industry is anticipated to post a forecast-period (2013−2017) CAGR of 2.22%, with future growth mainly driven by expansion in the residential construction market.


This report provides a comprehensive analysis of the construction industry in Germany:
- Historical (2008-2012) and forecast (2013-2017) valuations of the construction market in Germany using the construction output and value-add methods
- Segmentation by sector (commercial, industrial, infrastructure, institutional and residential) and by project type
- Breakdown of values within each project type, by type of activity (new construction, repair and maintenance, refurbishment and demolition) and by type of cost (materials, equipment and services)
- Analysis of key construction industry issues, including regulation, cost management, funding and pricing

- Detailed profiles of the leading construction companies in Germany

Germany’s GDP growth decreased from 3% in 2011 to 0.7% in 2012 owing to subdued external demand and weak investment.

According to Timetric projections, Germany’s real GDP is likely to expand by 0.4% in 2013 and 1.5% in 2014, supported by a rise in private consumption. However, persistent weak economic activity in the eurozone will continue to affect investment and exports.

The German construction industry recorded a decline in 2012 after recovering from the financial crisis and registering respective growth rates of 4.7% and 7.9% in 2010 and 2011. Industry value declined by 0.3%, while growth in construction value add contracted from 5.6% in 2011 to 1.4% in 2012, as the eurozone crisis worsened and Germany experienced its impact with a contraction in investments.

Prospects for the German construction industry are likely to be hampered by a shortage in workforce being recorded, with the situation expected to worsen over the years. Owing to a decline in fertility rates, the working-age population (aged between 20 and 65 years) is anticipated to decline from 49.6 million in 2008 to 42.1 million in 2030 and 32.6 million by 2060. The government plans to increase the retirement age from 65 to 67 years by 2029. Efforts to boost immigration and ease restrictions on labor mobility within the EU are considered another potential solution to the problem.

Germany is the world’s largest exporter of machinery and equipment (M&E) with 16.1% of total world exports valuing EUR931 billion in 2012. The M&E sector is also Germany’s largest sector with a turnover of EUR209 billion in 2012 and providing employment to over one million people. The sector received foreign investment in around 475 projects between 2003 and 2012. Around 75% of products are exported and prospects for the sector are upbeat. There is large demand for these products from major markets such as the US, which is on the course of steady recovery, and the BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China) countries, which are experiencing slowing yet stable demand.

Residential construction is a key market in the German construction industry, accounting for nearly 50% the total construction output. Any changes in the market will affect the overall growth of the industry. The market is expected to be a major driver of future growth as demand for residential construction is expected to be robust owing to a rise in immigration, low interest rates and a rise in disposable income.

Germany is expected to record significant increase in healthcare investments, as the proportion of elderly people (age above 65 years) is expected to increase to 34% of the total of the total population by 2060. The increase in the aging population will necessitate the need for increased allocation in specialized aged-care centres. The potential investments are likely to drive the expansion of institutional construction over the forecast period.

According to the World Economic Forum’s Global Competitiveness Report 2012–2013, Germany is ranked third in terms of the quality of its infrastructure as the country boasts highly developed facilities in all modes of transport. Given the solid fundamentals of the country, it is expected to invest in maintaining its position at the current level.

Canada Construction Industry - Trends & Opportunities to 2017



The report Construction in Canada – Key Trends and Opportunities to 2017 by Timteric is now available at ReportsnReports.com. Contact sales@reportsandreports.com with report name in subject line and your contact details to purchase this report or get your questions answered.

The Canadian construction industry recorded a CAGR of 2% during the review period. Low interest rates have fuelled demand for housing in the country. Moreover, as part of the Economic Action Plan announced in April 2013, an investment of CAD53.5 billion (US$54.1 billion), to be spread over 10 years, will drive infrastructure construction in the country. However, the government has implemented tighter mortgage lending rules to control high levels of household debt, and aims to bring the budget deficit to below 1% of GDP within two years, with a mix of budget cuts and prudent spending. This is likely to have a negative effect on construction activity. Overall, the outlook for the country’s economy still remains positive and will support growth in all construction markets. Timetric expects the industry to record a CAGR of 3.72% over the forecast period.

Key highlights
- The Canadian construction industry recorded a CAGR of 2% during the review period and valued CAD281 billion (US$284.1 billion) in 2012.
- A slowdown in the Canadian economy resulted in subdued office space uptake in 2012. Much of the current construction of office buildings is not expected to be available before 2014, and so despite low demand, rents continue to rise.
- The expected depreciation in the Canadian dollar in the coming quarters will also support Canadian exports. Timetric expects the industrial construction market to record a CAGR of 4.18% over the forecast period.
- Canada needs infrastructure development to support its booming mining industry, which was a key contributor to the country's quick recovery from the economic crisis. Timetric expects the infrastructure market to record a CAGR of 4.42% over the forecast period.
- Construction activity is expected to pick up by the end of 2013 and over 2014, as economic and employment growth support the residential construction market. Timetric expects the market to record a CAGR of 2.93% over the forecast period.

The 2009 global financial and European debt crises slowed construction activity and adversely affected demand for iron and steel across Europe, causing the market to record a CAGR of -6.18% during the review period (2008-2012). However, it is estimated that demand for iron and steel will improve over the forecast period, as a result of the growing construction industry and the improved performance of the European economy following the easing of the debt crisis. The iron and steel construction market in Europe is, therefore, estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4.40% over the forecast period.

Key Highlights
According to the European Commission, Europe is the world’s second-largest steel producer, accounting for 11% of the world’s total steel output and employing 360,000 people. The continuing economic uncertainty in Europe adversely affected the iron and steel market, and directly impacts the construction and automotive industries.

Russia is the largest iron and steel market in Europe; it accounted for 17% of the European iron and steel market in 2012. The Russian construction industry recorded a CAGR of 3.55% during the review period. Realizing the importance of modernizing infrastructure to achieve long-term growth, the Russian government has announced large-scale investments in infrastructure construction. Consequently, the Russian iron and steel construction market registered positive growth during the review period.

Russia’s iron and steel construction market will also be supported by large-scale investment in infrastructure construction due to the nation’s hosting of the 2014 Winter Olympics and the 2018 FIFA World Cup, which will require stadiums, transport infrastructure and accommodation.

Owing to cost pressures, the Italian steel industry faces a deep crisis, and with low demand for steel in Europe, many plants are struggling to survive. ILVA and Lucchini, the country’s largest steel producers, face potential shutdowns. Business confidence in Italy is dwindling, as businesses remain unconvinced about economic recovery. The downgrading of the Italian government’s credit rating by Moody’s is another key factor that has adversely affected business confidence.

Despite the eurozone crisis, the Turkish construction industry’s performance has been better than its neighboring countries. Growth in the construction industry during the review period was driven by continued government encouragement of foreign direct investment (FDI) and public-private partnerships (PPPs) in the country. According to the Turkish Steel Producers Association, crude steel production in Turkey rose by 5.2%, to 35.9 million tons in 2012. The country’s position in terms of steel production rose from 10th in 2011 to eighth in 2012 in the largest steel-producing countries list.
