Zusammenfassung:While the construction market in the 19 Euroconstruct countries is facing a considerable decline in 2012, the Austrian construction market is growing slightly. Throughout the forecast horizon, the construction outlook for Austria is positive, although the growth rates will be well below 1 percent. The market moves into two different directions: while the building segment (residential and non-residential) is a driver of growth, the civil engineering sector will decline over the next few years. The Euroconstruct Country Report for Austria gives in-depth information on the Austrian construction market until 2014. It covers in detail the housing market, the non-residential sector and civil engineering (new and renovation, respectively). Additionally, essential background information and an overview of the macroeconomic situation are provided.
