The following is a summary of the main results, trends and forecasts of the report Evolution of the construction market 2025-2026<\/em> published by Apliqa, selected for their special relevance for companies in the sector.<\/strong><\/p>

_<\/span>
European outlook: a slow but steady recovery<\/h5>

After the cumulative contraction between 2023 and 2024, the European construction market is entering a stabilization<\/strong> phase with 2% growth forecast for 2025.<\/strong> Although the recovery is slower than expected, the trend points to a sustained advance driven by public investment.<\/p>

France continues to perform steadily, Italy is making slow progress and Germany continues to be affected by the structural weakness of its domestic market<\/strong> and weaker industrial demand.<\/p>

Spain, on the other hand, is consolidating its position as one of the most solid markets in Europe, with a growth forecast of 2.2% for 2025<\/strong>, supported by residential construction and investment in refurbishment.<\/p>

_<\/span>
Spain: residential construction drives growth<\/h5>

The residential sector leads activity<\/strong> with estimated increases of between 10% and 20%, reinforcing its role as the industry’s main driver. The most significant challenge will be to execute the 140,000 housing units in progress<\/strong>, in a context marked by a lack of qualified talent.<\/p>

In parallel, the non-residential sector shows signs of strong reactivation<\/strong>, with an expected increase of between 10% and 15% in production. This dynamism is explained by the strength of the hotel sector, especially in the luxury segment, and by the expansion of logistics and commercial activity linked to e-commerce. Data centers are emerging as one of the fastest growing niches<\/strong>.<\/p>

_<\/span>
Rehabilitation: energy efficiency and advanced materials<\/h5>

Rehabilitation maintains a stable performance, with activity levels higher than in 2019, driven by residential energy efficiency<\/strong>. The consolidation of the use of SATE (Exterior Thermal Insulation System)<\/strong>, solar control glass, high performance carpentry (PVC or aluminum) and mechanical ventilation systems is noteworthy.<\/p>

_<\/span>
Commodities: sustained prices and new pressures<\/h5>

Key raw materials for construction show a general upward trend<\/strong>.
Aluminum and copper<\/strong> prices remain high due to demand associated with electrification and the ecological transition. In contrast, steel and lumber<\/strong> are approaching pre-pandemic levels. Looking ahead to the 2026-2028 period, copper<\/strong> is expected to see slight upward pressure<\/strong>, while aluminum is expected to follow a more stable trend.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
