Austria’s construction industry has undergone a dramatic decline since 2008. In real terms, the Austrian construction industry’s output contracted by 17.8% between 2008 and 2015. The decline can be attributed to an economic slowdown, and weak business confidence and consumer demand, leading to reduced demand in the construction industry.

The Austrian construction industry finally recovered in 2016, as general economic conditions, gross fixed capital formation and business confidence all improved. According to the Austrian Federal Ministry of Finance, the country’s gross fixed capital formation grew by 5.1% in 2016 compared to 2015, reaching EUR72.4 billion (US$81.1 billion). Consequently, the country’s construction industry posted growth of 1.4% in real terms in 2016.

The recovery is expected to continue over the forecast period (2017–2021), with investments in road, rail and transport infrastructure and housing projects.

The industry’s output value in real terms is expected to record a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.65% over the forecast period, up from -0.68% during the review period (2012–2016).

Scope

This report provides a comprehensive analysis of the construction industry in Austria. It provides:

• Historical (2012-2016) and forecast (2017-2021) valuations of the construction industry in Austria using construction output and value-add methods

• Segmentation by sector (commercial, industrial, infrastructure, energy and utilities, institutional and residential) and by project type

• Breakdown of values within each project type, by type of activity (new construction, repair and maintenance, refurbishment and demolition) and by type of cost (materials, equipment and services)

• Analysis of key construction industry issues, including regulation, cost management, funding and pricing

• Detailed profiles of the leading construction companies in Austria

Key Highlights

• In terms of buildings permits, there is clear evidence of improvement in residential and non-residential construction, according to the latest data from Statistics Austria. The total number of new building permits issued in the country grew by 5.9% from 24,701 in 2015 to 26,169 in 2016. This was preceded by annual increases of 2.2%, 6.6% and 0.4% in 2015, 2014 and 2013 respectively.

• To extend and modernize the country’s rail infrastructure, improve quality of services and shift freight from road to rail, the government approved Austrian Federal Railways’ (ÖBB) infrastructure investment plan for 2017–2022 in October 2016. Accordingly, the government plans to invest EUR15.2 billion (US$17.0 billion) in rail infrastructure over the next five years.

• According to Statistics Austria, residential property prices increased in 2016, backed by economic growth. The country’s overall House Price Index (HPI) grew by 8.5% from 130.2 in 2015 to 141.3 in 2016. This was preceded by annual growth rates of 4.9%, 3.5% and 5.2% in 2015, 2014 and 2013 respectively.

• The Austrian energy and utilities construction market’s growth will be supported by the government’s national broadband strategy, Breitband Austria 2020, which aims to develop the country’s broadband network. The government set a target of providing next-generation-network (NGN) internet access nationwide by 2020. The government aims to provide universal ultra-fast broadband coverage for all households by 2020.

• The Austrian construction industry is expected to be supported by European Union funds to help develop the country’s infrastructure. The European Investment Bank (EIB) invested EUR8.2 billion (US$9.2 billion) in Austria between 2012 and 2016, in the areas of transport and telecommunication, small and medium-scale projects, energy, water, sewage and urban development, education and health.

 Business Intelligence & Marketing Manager, SAL Heavy Lift

“COVID-19 has caused significant interference to our business and the COVID-19 intelligence from GlobalData has helped us reach better decisions around strategy. These two highlights have helped enormously to understand the projections into the future concerning our business units, we also utilise the project database to source new projects for Liebherr-Werk to use as an additional source to pitch for new business.”

 Market Analyst & Management, Liebherr-Werk

Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.

 Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

 Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

 Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

“I know that I can always rely on Globaldata’s work when I’m searching for the right consumer and market insights. I use Globaldata insights to understand the changing market & consumer landscape and help create better taste & wellbeing solutions for our customers in food, beverage and healthcare industries.

Globaldata has the right data and the reports are of very high quality compared to your competitors. Globaldata not only has overall market sizes & consumer insights on food & beverages but also provides insights at the ingredient & flavour level. That is key for B2B companies like Givaudan. This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

 Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
