#4 In EuropePlumbing, heating and air conditioning installation revenue is forecast to dip at a compound annual rate of 2.7% over the five years through 2024 to €219.1 billion. Weak economic conditions since the COVID-19 outbreak and restrictions at the height of the pandemic resulted in the cancellation and postponement of many projects, especially in the commercial market, as customers sought to conserve cash. Despite the easing of lockdown restrictions, significant inflationary pressures have continued to plague revenue opportunities, as retaliatory hikes to the base rate by central banks have caused the cost of borrowing to soar, restricting new investment into construction.
