EU Construction Costs Jump 48% Since 2015

New Eurostat-based figures show construction producer prices for new residential buildings across the EU27 rose 48.2% between 2015 and 2025, with most of the surge concentrated in the 2021-2025 shock driven by material and energy costs. Observers are comparing this far steeper rise with consumer inflation over the same decade, highlighting why housing has become dramatically more expensive to build even as headline inflation later cooled.

Why now: Housing affordability and construction cost inflation are pressing political and economic concerns across Europe.
