In 2014, Danish architects, consulting engineers and contractors saw
a marginal decline in international turnover of only 0.3 percent,
which could indicate that the international market has somewhat stabilised. For Danish Contractors the adaptation of a more
risk adverse strategy on the international markets seems to have
halted the negative development over the past years. The impressive growth rates seen by the Danish consulting engineers since 2011
have stalled with the growth in 2014 being negligible.

About the Export Profile
The aim of the Export Profile is to show the extent of international work and projects. The profile is based on data from
member companies from the Danish Association of Architectural Firms, the Danish Association of Consulting Engineers
(FRI) and the Danish Construction Association, as there is no
representative data available from Statistics Denmark. All
data from the Danish Association of Architectural Firms is
from 2013.
