Overview

• 49% of Bavarian construction firms now expect stable or rising revenues in 2025, a significant improvement from 30% last year.
• Order backlogs in the main construction sector reached €17.6 billion by March 2025, marking a 10% increase compared to the previous year.
• Growth is primarily fueled by a 42.5% surge in commercial and industrial civil engineering, while housing construction saw only a marginal 0.7% rise.
• Despite improved sentiment, only 11% of companies expect business conditions to improve within six months, and half still view their backlogs as insufficient.
• Industry leaders warn the sector has not yet fully emerged from its downturn, particularly in residential construction.
