Key Market Trends and Opportunities for Construction in Western Europe

Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Construction in Western Europe - Key Trends and Opportunities to 2017" report to their offering.

Western Europe experienced a severe financial crisis during 2008-2009 with economic activity in the region contracting sharply. Reflecting ongoing weakness in the region, real GDP has yet to rise above the pre-2008 level, with ongoing debt problems in most countries constraining growth, particularly in Greece, Ireland, Spain and Portugal. Budget deficits and government debt in several countries in the region are at alarming levels owing to the sluggish recovery from the economic crisis, which has led to record high unemployment levels. Public and private investment for new projects has declined significantly in the recent past. The construction industry in Western Europe recorded a CAGR of -5.94% during the review period, mirroring the subdued economic environment in the region.
