The construction sector began the year on a strong note, with an 8.5% increase in the first four months compared to the same period in 2024, according to data analysed by Colliers.

In contrast, non-residential construction, including office, industrial and commercial spaces, declined by nearly 2%, reflecting subdued demand and increased caution among private investors. Optimism among construction companies, as measured by Eurostat surveys, is currently at a 3-year low, but the level itself is quite far from the pessimism seen during the initial phase of the pandemic or during past recessions seen in Romania. This suggests that based on the intel that they have, market participants only see a slight slowdown on the horizon, not a significant crash.
