Our M&A perspective
The growing use of digital technologies is influencing the construction industry to an ever greater extent. Machine learning, artificial intelligence and 3D printing are expected to increase efficiency and reduce construction costs. At the same time, the challenge of skills shortages remains for the industry. Therefore, the growth of the industry as a whole is strongly linked to the employment situation in companies. This increases the pressure to consolidate, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises.
