Key Market Driver

Growing demand for housing units is a key market driver. Demand for residential units in the market has steadily increased in recent years due to various factors. One of the main drivers of increased demand for housing in Germany is population growth. Despite its relatively low birth rate, Germany has one of the highest concentrations of immigrants in Europe. This increased the population, which, in turn, increased the demand for housing. Another factor driving housing demand in Germany is urbanization.

Additionally, historically, low interest rates have made it easier for people to obtain mortgages and buy homes, further increasing the demand for housing. In addition, the federal government has implemented policies to encourage homeownership, such as first-time buyer subsidies, which have contributed to an increase in housing demand. Overall, the demand for residential units in the market is likely to continue increasing in the coming years due to population growth, urbanization, low interest rates and government policies.

Significant Market Trend

Growing demand for modular houses is a key trend prevailing in the market. Germany was an early adopter of automation and digitization. This country was the first to coin the term Industry 4.0. Germany plans to increase the use of digital technologies in the building industry as part of the increasing digitization of various industries. One of the fastest growing technologies is Building Information Modeling (BIM). This technology is a 3D modeling tool that provides digital images of real buildings and their assets.

Moreover, BIM implementation in construction projects has improved supplier productivity, quality, and speed of work. In April 2013, the Federal Department of Transport and Digital Infrastructure established the Major Project Construction Reform Commission to increase public confidence in specific projects. The Reform Commission was formed to develop solutions to improve cost-effective pricing, increase cost transparency, increase efficiency, and facilitate on-time completion of major projects. 

Major Market Challenge

The rise in cost of construction is hindering market growth. The building industry utilizes various inputs such as raw materials, land, labor, and utilities during the building process. Prices for raw materials such as metal, wood, and concrete are rising in Germany. This is having a negative impact on the provider's profit margins. Rising labor costs have also increased operating costs for the German construction industry. German trade unions and employers agreed in November 2022 to raise wages for more than 3.8 million construction workers by 8.0% from a year earlier.

However, such high prices are not sustainable in the long term, especially for the housing market. Germany has one of the highest housing costs and rents in Europe. Those costs have increased since 2009. The mismatch between demand and supply in the residential real estate sector suggests that these prices will continue to rise during the forecast period. Against this backdrop, housing demand will decline as sellers pass on higher utility costs to buyers. It can also adversely affect the profit margins of companies in the market.
