Austria Construction Market Size, Trends, and Forecasts by Sector - Commercial, Industrial, Infrastructure, Energy and Utilities, Institutional and Residential Market Analysis to 2030 (H1 2026)

Summary

The construction industry in Austria is expected to grow in real terms by 1.7% in 2026, supported by a rise in housing loans, coupled with investment in energy projects. According to Eurostat, the gross fixed capital formation in the building and construction sector grew by 1.7% year-on-year (YoY) in the first nine months of 2025, preceded by an annual decline of 9.3% in 2024. According to the Oesterreichische Nationalbank (OeNB), new loans for housing purposes grew by 48% YoY in the first nine months of 2025.

Over the remainder of the forecast period, the construction industry is expected to register an annual average growth rate of 3.1% between 2027 and 2030, supported by public and private investments to develop the transport and renewable energy infrastructure, coupled with the government’s aim to produce 100% of the country’s electricity through renewable energy sources by 2030, and achieve full climate neutrality by 2040. Thus, to achieve this target in October 2025, the government announced its plan to overhaul its entire energy law system by the end of 2026, as key rules have become outdated.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
