Germany Construction Industry Databook 2024 - Germany has Earmarked €57 Billion for Green Infrastructure in 2024


Dublin, June 27, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Germany Construction Industry Databook Series - Market Size & Forecast by Value and Volume (area and units), Q1 2024 Update" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The construction industry in Germany is expected to grow by 2.6% to reach EUR 241.35 billion in 2024. The growth momentum is expected to continue over the forecast period, recording a CAGR of 2.2% during 2024-2028. The construction output in Germany is expected to reach EUR 263.42 billion by 2028.

The outlook for the German construction market remains bleak amid elevated interest rate levels. Building permits for apartments declined by 18.3% in February 2024, compared to the year before. The data, according to the German government, underscores the continued downturn in demand in the construction and real estate market. The sluggishness in the sector is also projected to result in significant job cuts in the construction industry in 2024.

The government, in 2024, is focusing on the development of green infrastructure. It has allocated €57 billion to fighting climate change. A significant chunk of the €57 billion allocation will be directed towards the German construction market. The Ministry revealed that €18.9 billion will be provided in subsidies for new buildings and building renovations in 2024. However, in the short term, the sector is expected to remain under pressure in the German market.

Homebuilding permits continue to decline significantly in the German market in 2024

In Germany, building permits for apartments declined by 18.3% in February 2024, compared to the year before. The data, according to the German government, underscores the continued downturn in demand in the construction and real estate market.

The government data shows that some 18,200 permits were issued, which is 4,100 less compared to the 2023 period. The number of building permits, notably, is a good indicator of the health of the construction industry. The German Property Federation has called on the states to cut property sales tax to stem the decline.

For years, real estate has been a major growth driver for the German economy. Driven by low-interest rates, billions of dollars were invested into the property sector in Germany. However, the sharp increase in interest rates over the last 12 months has put an end to the flourishing construction industry. With rates expected to remain at elevated levels in H1 2024, the short-term outlook for the market remains bleak in Germany.

Significant job cuts are expected in the German construction industry in the short term

The German construction sector is facing tough times ahead with the looming prospect of job cuts. According to Tim-Oliver Muller, the head of the construction industry association HDB, around 10,000 jobs are expected to be lost in 2024.

This downturn is largely due to a sluggish economy in the construction sector, especially in residential buildings, which saw a significant drop in sales last year and is predicted to decline further in 2024. As a result, many firms are bracing for financial difficulties, with over half of surveyed firms expecting their performance to worsen this year. This has led some businesses to consider reducing their workforce as a way to cope with the challenges.

The Central Association of the German Construction Industry (ZDB), which represents medium-sized construction companies, had also voiced concerns about the future in December 2023. They predicted a substantial loss of around 30,000 jobs. Although there is still demand for skilled workers in growing sectors like expansion projects and civil engineering, the residential construction sector is not operating at full capacity.

Germany has earmarked €57 billion for green infrastructure in 2024

In 2023, the German government allocated €57 billion to fighting climate change, aiming to achieve greenhouse gas neutrality by 2045. This funding will be directed to the Climate and Transformation Fund, which was established in 2010 with only a small contribution of a few hundred million euros. The Finance Ministry of Germany stated that this approved amount for 2024 marks a significant increase of nearly €22 billion, or 60.2%, compared to the target set for 2023.

A significant chunk of the €57 billion allocation will be directed towards the German construction market. The Ministry revealed that €18.9 billion will be provided in subsidies for new buildings and building renovations in 2024. In the transportation sector, the fund will allocate around €12.5 billion to improve Germany's rail network from 2024 to 2027. Furthermore, Germany plans to invest €4.7 billion in building up the country's infrastructure for electric vehicles, specifically focusing on charging stations for e-mobility.
