Market context and outlook (2026\u20132028)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The years 2026\u20132028<\/strong> are expected to bring major challenges for Romania\u2019s construction industry. In previous years (2021\u20132022), several key indicators reached the highest levels of the past decade, while 2023\u20132025<\/strong> recorded mixed results \u2014 declines in certain segments and growth in others.<\/p>\n

Rising costs for raw materials and energy, inflation, and higher financing expenses strongly impacted the residential construction market<\/strong> during 2023\u20132024.

To navigate this environment, companies need a comprehensive and transparent overview<\/strong> of the market \u2014 and this report offers precisely that.<\/p>\n
