#2 In EuropeRevenue is forecast to contract at a compound annual rate of 4.7% over the five years through 2024. COVID-19 caused significant disruption to the construction sector, the industry’s largest market, resulting in weaker demand for aggregates and materials used in the production of construction inputs. Although activity has since risen in line with the easing of lockdown restrictions, poor economic conditions have stifled any significant recovery, continuing to weigh on the industry’s revenue performance.
