Content of the study

Is the German construction industry on the brink of collapse? If you follow the statements of some industry and association representatives, you get the impression that the entire construction sector is now facing a bitter slump after years of growth. At the same time, demand for housing continues to rise, the order books on the construction side are full and the German government wants to refurbish the entire building stock to be climate-neutral by 2045. Reason enough to take a closer look at this polarity. In order to approach the topic, we believe it is essential to set aside political and ideological perspectives as well as association and sectoral concerns and take a look at the facts. The following questions are addressed in this brief analysis:
 
  • How will the construction industry change over the next 10-20 years?
  • What are the drivers of change?
  • What challenges are companies in the construction industry facing and what are the success factors for overcoming them?
As always, the principle of uncertainty applies when assessing the future, but an approximately precise picture can be drawn on the basis of available data and current developments. We do not claim to have a monopoly on a clear and undisputed interpretation of the data. Rather, this analysis should serve as a support for strategic considerations by companies along the entire value chain.
