#9 In EuropeDemolition activity across Europe has been weak over the past few years, having been hit hard by disruption to construction work during the COVID-19 pandemic. Revenue is forecast to contract at a compound annual rate of 2.9% over the five years through 2024 to €19.3 billion. After COVID-19 hit, many countries temporarily closed construction sites until safe working procedures were implemented, causing many projects to be cancelled or delayed. Businesses also cancelled or postponed future investment plans amid an uncertain economic environment. Given most demolition work takes place before construction work begins, the need for demolition services dropped as a result.
