The company, based in Northern Ireland, said the webinar will explore market trends, regulatory challenges, and the innovations shaping the future of materials.

Aurelie Delannoy, Director of Economic Affairs at MPA, will discuss economic trends and policy impacts on aggregates and construction on UK & EU markets.

Joining Aurelie will be Pierre G. Villere, Senior Managing Partner at Allen-Villere, who will discuss global construction outlook and investment trends in the US market.

Elsewhere, Experian Economics Senior Economist Lorenzo Rodriguez-Fernandez will provide insights on financing conditions, insolvency risks, and sustainability-driven growth opportunities shaping the UK & EU markets.

The webinar will also include a roundtable discussion on the circular economy, PFAS, fines and contaminants in aggregates and how technology is driving efficiency and profitability in recycled aggregates.

CDE’s Director of Transformation Paschal Lynch said the webinar will open the door for discussion on how next year will look for the construction industry on a global scale.

He said: “We’ll focus in on some key trends we expect to see across individual markets - such as how the UK’s recent Budget may impact the demand for construction materials, how European markets are responding to inflation and energy costs, and how US tariffs are impacting cost structures for builders and developers worldwide.”

The webinar takes place on Tuesday December 10 at 16:00 CET.
