NEW YORK, Jan. 18, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Synopsis
Timetric's Construction in Germany, Key Trends and Opportunities to 2020 report provides detailed market analysis, information and insights into the German construction industry, including:

- The German construction industry's growth prospects by market, project type and type of construction activity

Summary
Construction activity in Germany was weak during the review period (2011–2015), due to the negative impact of the eurozone crisis on the country's economy. This resulted in poor investor confidence, which in turn reduced infrastructure construction activities in the country.

The industry's value is expected to pick up over the forecast period (2016–2020), however, due to a gradual recovery in economic conditions and subsequent improvements in business confidence.

Forecast-period growth is expected to be supported by the government's efforts to develop the country's transport infrastructure through its flagship program, the Federal Transport Infrastructure Plan 2030. In addition, the government's aim to phase out nuclear energy production by 2022, while focusing on the generation of renewable energy, is expected to drive funding towards renewable energy projects over the forecast period.

In real terms, the industry's output value is expected to rise from a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -0.58% during the review period, to reach a forecast-period CAGR of 2.81%.
