The European construction value chain: performance, challenges, role in the GVC

We develop a clear picture of the European construction value chain, its structure (segmentation) and interlinkages, and its development and performance. The study will assess integration within the European construction value chain (including its upstream and downstream segments), particularly in terms of the cross-border dimension of market integration. In addition we will analyse the position and role of Europe within the global construction value chain. Finally we will explore future scenarios affecting construction-related activities – both within Europe and globally – and assess the corresponding challenges facing the European construction value chain.
