Latin America Construction Industry Databook 2024: Market Size & Forecast by Value and Volume to 2028 – ResearchAndMarkets.com

DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The “Latin America Construction Industry Databook Series – Market Size & Forecast by Value and Volume (area and units), Q1 2024 Update” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
The Latin American construction industry is expected to record steady growth over the medium term. In Mexico, nearshoring is aiding the growth in the industrial construction sector. With global firms seeking to benefit from the country’s proximity to the United States, more companies are expected to develop manufacturing facilities in Mexico over the medium term.
Various infrastructure projects have been undertaken in Brazil in 2024, many of which are currently under construction. This includes the US$3 billion metro line No.6 Sao Paulo. New Fortress Energy, the US-based infrastructure firm, has also commenced the construction of a 1.6GW gas-fired plant in April 2024. In Peru, investment in airport infrastructure is expected to gain momentum in 2024.
Nearshoring is aiding the growth of the industrial construction market in Mexico
Several leading global corporations have relocated their manufacturing to Mexico. The relocation move is part of the strategy to benefit from the proximity to the United States. This trend is projected to continue further over the medium term in the Mexican market.
BMW, in March 2024, announced that the firm is set to commence the construction activities of its high-voltage battery production center in May 2024. The German-based firm has announced an investment of €800 million for this project, of which, €500 million has been earmarked for the construction of the new facility. The production center will be built at its plant in San Luis Potosi.
Tesla, which announced to build a facility in Mexico in 2023, is also expected to begin the construction activities in 2024. The Mexican government, notably, has asked the firm to commence construction soon. In Brazil, too, global automakers have begun construction of their industrial plants in 2024. BYD, for instance, commenced construction on its manufacturing complex in Brazil in March 2024. The new facility is expected to be put under operation by the end of 2024 or early 2025. These industrial construction projects are expected to support the growth of the broader construction market across the Latin American region.
Investment in infrastructure construction projects will support market growth in Brazil in 2024
Various infrastructure projects have been undertaken in Brazil in 2024, many of which are currently under construction. This includes the US$3 billion metro line No.6 Sao Paulo. The 15.3-kilometer-long railway project includes 15 stations and will be able to carry approximately 630,000 passengers per day. This project is being termed as the largest infrastructure development currently in Latin America. Several other railway infrastructure projects are also under construction in Brazil. This includes metro line No. 15, line No. 17, line No. 2, and the Fortaleza metro east line.
New Fortress Energy, the US-based infrastructure firm, has also commenced the construction of a 1.6GW gas-fired plant in April 2024. The plant, located next to the Barcarena LNG terminal in Brazil, is set to become operational by August 2026. These infrastructure construction projects will keep providing growth support to the broader construction market in Brazil and Latin America over the medium term.
Investment in transport infrastructure is projected to remain steady in Peru in 2024
Peruvian investments in transportation infrastructure have continued to perform well in 2024, indicating a similar level of activity when compared to 2023. According to a report from the transportation regulator Ositran, investments in projects reached US$232 million in Q1 2024, slightly up from US$230 million compared to the same period of 2023.
Unlike the first quarter of 2023, where the port sector drove investments, the momentum in Q1 2024 came from increased spending on Line No. 2 of the Lima metro and in the airport sector. In Q1 2024 alone, US$84.7 million has been invested in the airport sector, which represents a significant increase from the US$15 million invested during the same period in 2023.
According to Ositran, a substantial portion of these investments, totaling US$49 million, went into the construction of the new Jorge Chavez International Airport in Lima in Q1 2024. This project, which has a budget of US$2 billion, is over 77% complete and is scheduled to be finished by December 2024.
While the road construction sector has not received any major increase in investment, the Pativilca-Salaverry section of road network No. 4, spanning 356 kilometers along the coast of Ancash and La Libertad regions, received US$11.4 million in investments during Q1 2024. This amount is consistent with the spending seen in Q1 2023.
