Growth in Bulgarian Construction: NSI Data for July 2025

Growth in Construction Production in Bulgaria in July 2025

Construction production showed a slight, but stable growth in July 2025, according to preliminary data published by the National Statistical Institute (NSI). These figures, which are seasonally adjusted, provide an indication of the sector's continued development, albeit at a slow pace.

Monthly Analysis

An analysis of the data shows that on a monthly basis, the total index of construction production in July 2025 increased by 0.1% compared to the previous month. This modest growth is largely due to positive results in key sub-sectors.

Detailed breakdown by type of construction reveals that building construction production increased by 0.2% on a monthly basis, representing the most significant increase within the sector for this period. At the same time, specialized construction activities also reported an increase of 0.1%. Only civil engineering registered a slight decrease, which was limited to 0.1%.

These divergent movements underscore the complex dynamics in the industry, where different segments are developing at different speeds.

Annual Growth

Despite the modest monthly progress, the data for the sector's annual development is significantly more optimistic. Calendar-adjusted data from the NSI shows that total construction production in July 2025 increased by an impressive 6.1% compared to the same month of the previous year, 2024.

• The most notable achievement is in specialized construction activities, which reported a growth of 8.1% compared to July 2024.
• Civil engineering also contributed significantly, with an increase of 5.8%.
• Production from building construction grew by 4.6%.

These stable annual results indicate the lasting recovery and development of the construction market in the country. In conclusion, while the monthly progress was minimal, the overall picture for the construction sector is positive, especially when viewed on an annual basis, which is an indicator of long-term stability and potential for growth.
