Extrait du rapport:
“Descent from a market peak –and the challenges are growing
The 2019 autumn survey of the EFCA-Barometer indicates that the previously observed strengthening of European markets for consulting engineering has come to a halt. Despite strong order stock and rising turnover, profitability has decreased in the period observed.
The number of countries which declared weak markets has doubled compared to the previous year. Despite this negative trend, some countries in eastern Europe and Spain appear to have improved their conditions. In particular Turkey struggles with very weak indicators across the scale.
The negative trend has not yet reached out to the level of employment. A majority of countries have declared an increase in staff employment during the last six months but remain ambiguous when determining the development of the coming 6 months.
Order stock has reached a peak of 9.7 months. The majority of countries has neither seen nor is expecting a significant change in order stock for the coming six months.
Also, turnover has been on the rise in most countries observed. But the responses indicate that a cooling off phase is coming closer, since less countries expect the increase to continue over the coming six months.”
