The AIB Ireland Construction PMI fell to 45.4 in June 2026 from 50.2 in May, marking the sharpest contraction in construction activity since September 2025. The downturn was broad-based, with activity declining across all three sectors, led by the residential segment, which recorded its steepest fall in nearly four years, while commercial activity contracted for the first time in five months. New orders also declined at the fastest pace since August 2023 as sharply rising prices discouraged clients from committing to new projects. In response, firms reduced purchasing activity for the first time in eight months, although employment continued to grow for an eighth consecutive month. Supplier delivery times lengthened due to shipping disruptions linked to the Middle East conflict, while input costs remained elevated amid higher oil and raw material prices, despite inflation easing slightly for a second straight month. Lastly, business confidence improved for a second consecutive month.
