In 2023, Germany led in employee numbers within Europe's architectural, engineering, technical testing, and analysis services, followed by the UK and France. Over the past year, notable growth was seen in Slovakia, Ireland, and Croatia, while Iceland experienced a decline. Long-term, countries like Malta, Cyprus, and Serbia showed strong growth, whereas Spain faced a contraction. The five-year compound annual growth rate shows strengths in small-sized economies that are catching up with Western Europe.
Future trends to watch include the increasing role of digitalization, sustainability directives impacting construction and engineering demands, and shifting economic conditions affecting labor markets. Emerging economies in Eastern Europe may continue to outpace more established markets in growth rates.
