Central European road construction market will grow to over €15bn by 2013 - September 2010

Capital expenditure on the road infrastructure is poised to considerably increase in Central Europe in the coming years. However, due to the magnitude of the planned projects, not all of the tasks expected to be financed from the EU budget for 2007-2013 will be executed. Thus, the final shape of the EU budget for 2014-2020 is crucial for the countries in the region.

In our latest report entitled “Road construction market in Central Europe 2010 − Development forecasts and planned investments”, we estimate that after a 2% decline in 2009, the road construction market in Central Europe will develop at the average nominal rate of 5% in the coming years, with its value exceeding €15bn annually in 2012 and 2013.
