The reopening of most European economies after the first quarter of 2021 proved beneficial for rental activity as construction was able to pick up and other sectors of the economy also reopened.
The performance throughout the rest of the year improved in most markets and now points to a solid growth forecast for 2021, mainly in Southern Europe and the UK, which were the worst-hit regions, while growth in Nordic countries and Eastern Europe remains more constrained.
Despite this, the pandemic continues to hamper the recovery in some markets, both directly and indirectly, and it is important to stress the extreme conditions of 2020 and 2021. Large peaks are expected this year, and further significant growth is expected in the short term.
