recent announcements of GDP growth in France and Germany. Construction is
still under pressure in most markets and this has resulted in some changes at
both merchant and building material supply level.
This new 2009 edition reviews recent trends in key markets, assessing
developments in market structure in terms of acquisitions,
mergers and the role of buying groups in respective countries. Building
material supply is also becoming more Pan-European in response to changing
