The labor cost per employee FTE in civil engineering in Germany is forecasted to increase steadily over the next five years, starting from 59.0 thousand euros in 2024 to 63.1 thousand euros in 2028. This represents a consecutive year-on-year growth of approximately 1.7% from 2024 to 2025, 1.8% from 2025 to 2026, 1.6% from 2026 to 2027, and 1.6% from 2027 to 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this forecast period resembles roughly a consistent increase, highlighting a stable upward trend in labor costs. As of 2023, these figures project anticipated adjustments due to inflationary pressures and market demands in the civil engineering sector.

Future trends to watch for:

Impact of technological advancements on labor productivity and cost efficiencies.
Potential influence of regulatory changes on labor costs and employment structures.
