This is the second year the market goes beyond RON100 billion by value, a significant achievement given that 2020 was a challenging year for the economy amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The number of firms in the field topped 83,000 in 2020, almost 2,000 more against 2019.
As regards the number of employees in the industry, coping with major labour shortages in recent years, it went beyond the 400,000 threshold last year, to 416,000. Thus, it rose by 8% against 2019, marking a decade high.
Residential and non-residential construction works weigh by far the most in the entire market, generating almost RON54 billion in turnover last year, the equivalent of around 42%.
