Construction in Austria - Key Trends and Opportunities to 2025 (H2 2021)

The latest data released by Eurostat shows that Austria’s construction industry value add grew by 2.7% in the first quarter of 2021, on a yearly basis. The publisher expects the industry to continue expanding in the next few quarters and grow by 2.2% in real terms in 2021, and thereafter register an average annual growth of 1.9% during the period of 2022-2025. Growth in the industry is expected to be supported by public and private sector investment in the country’s transport infrastructure, coupled with efforts to boost energy production.

Previously, in 2020, the industry had contracted by 2.1% in real terms in 2020, as a result of disruptions caused by the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak and the subsequent lockdown measures. The temporary closure of businesses across the country resulted in an increase in unemployment, a fall in disposable income and the weakening of investor confidence. According to Statistics Austria, the country’s economy contracted by 5.7% year on year (YoY) in Q4 2020. This was preceded by Y-o-Y declines of 3.7% in Q3, 13.5% in Q2 and 3.6% in Q1 2020. Overall, in 2020, the economy contracted of 6.6% in real terms.

The vaccine rollout is expected to enhance the revival in investor confidence. Growth in the construction sector will also be supported by the government’s focus on improving regional connectivity through the development of the country’s rail and road transport infrastructure, coupled with efforts to boost energy production. The development of Vienna airport, the upgrade of the Pottendorfer railway line and the aim of generating 100% electricity from renewable sources by 2030 are expected to support the industry and economy.
