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.
