Europe’s building products recovery hasn’t materialized—and for most markets, it won’t look the way it used to. Building material prices rose 38% between 2020 and 2025, permits are well below their 2021 peaks, and growth has bifurcated sharply: southern Europe and commercial segments like data centers are pulling ahead, while core Western European residential construction continues to soften.
