Summary

GlobalData expects the construction industry in Argentina to decline by 8.6% in real terms in 2024 and 1.9% in 2025, owing to high inflation, construction material costs, and interest rates, coupled with falling building permits. According to the National Institute of Statistics and Census of Argentina (INDEC), the total area authorized for building permits by 176 municipalities fell by 7.8% year on year (YoY), in 2023, preceded by an annual decline of 9.3% in 2022. The construction industry in Argentina is expected to remain subdued owing to President Javier Milei's austerity drive, under which, local currency has been devalued by 54% in December 2023, and the public spending on several infrastructure, education and several construction projects have been slashed. In February 2024, the Argentine Chamber of Construction (CAMARCO) has claimed 100,000 construction job losses due to the austerity drive and has declared a nationwide “state of emergency”.

The construction industry in Argentina is expected to recover in 2026 and rebound at an average annual growth rate of 5% from 2026 to 2028, supported by investments for the development of new transmission lines and hydrogen production capacities. In July 2023, “Energy Transition Plan” was launched, under which, the share of renewable energy in total energy will be increased to 57% by 2030, up from 37% in 2023, with a development of 5,000km of new transmission lines by the end of 2030. Growth over the forecast period will also be supported by National Hydrogen Strategy (ENH), launched in September 2023, under which the country plans to invest ARS125 trillion ($90 billion) to produce at least 5Mt of low-emission hydrogen per year by 2050.
