The Investing in Irish Construction & Materials report indicates that the Irish construction sector has momentum, with Euroconstruct forecasting a 5% output growth in 2026 for the industry, twice the Western European average.
Confidence for the future of Irish construction is positive, with the latest AIB Ireland Construction PMI for February showing a strong outlook over the next 12 months. The headline total index returned to growth in the month, while house building activity stabilised and commercial activity expanded. Most notably, new order growth reached a four-year high and input purchasing nearly reached its highest level in four years.
