Les entreprises de la construction ont connu une nette baisse de leur activité et de leurs marges en France en 2020, dans un contexte de crise sanitaire. Leur trésorerie s’est toutefois fortement accrue, en lien notamment avec les différents mécanismes de soutien public : aides de l’État pour les petites et moyennes entreprises (PME), paiements anticipés des travaux reportés pour les entreprises intermédiaires et les grandes entreprises des travaux publics. Ce haut niveau de trésorerie a permis un important rebond de l’investissement en 2021, au sortir de la crise sanitaire. En 2022, avec le fort ralentissement de la construction et des ventes de logements, et plus encore les années suivantes, les défaillances d’entreprises du secteur repartent à la hausse, touchant principalement les plus petites entreprises avec une faible trésorerie.
The economic and financial health of construction companies at the turn of the 2020s
Construction companies experienced a sharp decline in activity and margins in France in 2020, against the backdrop of the health crisis. However, their cash flow increased significantly, largely due to various public support mechanisms: government aid for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), advance payments for postponed work for intermediate companies and large public works companies. This high level of cash flow enabled a significant rebound in investment in 2021, as the health crisis came to an end. In 2022, with the sharp slowdown in construction and housing sales, and even more so in the following years, business failures in the sector start to rise again, mainly affecting the smallest companies with low cash flow.
