The construction of bridges and tunnels in Finland saw a fluctuation in hours worked from 2013 to 2023. The highest recorded hours were in 2014 with an 18.51% year-on-year increase, while significant declines were noted in 2013 and 2015. Over the past 5 years, the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) averaged at -1.78%, indicating a slight downward trend. Specifically, in 2023, the number of hours worked stood at 598.92 thousand hours, a decrease of 0.9% from the previous year.
Future trends to watch for include a continued slight decline in the number of hours worked, with forecasters predicting an average annual decrease of 0.72% through to 2028. This ongoing contraction suggests an enduring reduction in construction activity in bridges and tunnels unless there is a significant market or policy change.
