Diving into the complexities of the European construction industry, our team at BCG has researched the myriad challenges currently facing this vital sector in our latest whitepaper, available here: https://lnkd.in/dPhBwtyi.   We're at a critical juncture. The industry is navigating through unprecedented challenges, including a steep decline in residential new builds and escalating financial distress. The situation calls for a strategic shift towards addressing structural challenges, promoting green growth, and leveraging innovative solutions. Our research proposes a multifaceted strategy to overcome these obstacles, emphasizing the need for easier loan access, reduced construction costs, streamlined regulations, and increased government involvement.  By fostering dialogue and implementing these strategies, we aim to pave the way for a sustainable and resilient construction industry in Europe. The paper has already initiated important conversations across the industry and beyond, indicating the urgency and relevance of our insights, such as a feature in the German tier one media WirtschaftsWoche: https://lnkd.in/dDqMq5jC   Lucian Morariu; Christoph Hilberath; Johannes Blauhuth; Dr. Patrick Fried   #IndustrialGoods #ConstructionCrisis #BCG

BCG Construction Market Outlook Europe: Is 2024 the bottom of the cycle? Register here for our Summer 2024 expert call: https://lnkd.in/dtnMHQUu   The European construction industry is still in crisis mode driven by steep financing and building costs and partly insufficient countermeasures. But there is hope: interest rates and prices for certain input materials are stabilizing, subsidies in select countries are supporting short-term demand while sustainability requirements drive demand in mid-term. However, energy prices will not get back to where they used to be and labor shortage is here to stay.   Join our experts as we discuss: • Key challenges and trends for the construction industry in Europe • Impact on company performances & CEO reactions • Market outlook Europe with deep-dives into key countries (DE, UK, FR, IT, PL, SE) and segments (NB/Reno x Resi./Com. & Infra.)
