Construction in Austria - Key Trends and Opportunities to 2017

Description

Growth in the Austrian construction industry was attributed to the expansion of the European Union (EU) in 2004 and 2007, through the integration of 12 Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries. Austria became an entry point for companies targeting the CEE markets, due to the country's developed infrastructure. As a result of this development, Austria's construction industry reported large investment in infrastructure modernization and expansion to meet the increased demand. However, the economic crisis resulted in a slowdown in the industry, as the country's economy is highly dependent on exports. Consequently, the Austrian construction industry recorded a CAGR of 1.53% during the review period. The outlook for the industry is favorable, as a result of the government's focus on country's infrastructure and residential construction. The construction industry's output is expected to record a CAGR of 3.48% over the forecast period.
