Market Overview
The Latin America Construction Market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of approximately 5% during the forecast period.
Despite increasing the foreign trade tension, uncertainty in policies and fiscal pressures that are weighing on the economy of Latin American, the construction industry will continue to expand during the forecasted period.
Be that it as may, the growth made isn’t uniform across the continent in terms of GDP or the infrastructure market. A select group of countries are outperforming markets and can draw on the adequate private and public capital, partly determined by solid commodity prices from the extraction markets, to help and facilitate infrastructure investment, while other higher risk markets with progressively constrained opportunities continue to weigh down the overall attractiveness of the region. The improving expansion of the industry will be driven by an arrival to critical development and growth in several large markets such as Brazil and Colombia, as well as the continued strong growth of other markets, including Chile and Peru.
By 2021, the construction industry in Mexico is forecasted to be one of the largest in the Latin America, with a value of USD 121 billion followed by brazil with USD 73.9 billion.
