Argentina’s construction industry is expected to register growth of 4.1% in real terms in 2025, inflecting on a contraction of approximately 21% in 2024. Markedly, well-documented economic risk associated to Argentina’s construction market is cooling sooner-than-expected. According to the National Institute of Statistics and Census of Argentina (INDEC), annual inflation fell to 117.8% in 2024, from 211.4% in 2023. Additionally, the Central Bank of Argentina (BCRA) reduced its interest rate down from 32% in December 2024 to 29% in January 2025. Hence, an ameliorating macroeconomic picture is slowly regaining investor confidence in Argentina’s construction market. Forecasted growth will be supported by private sector investments in renewable energy, and oil and gas projects. Developments include large-scale projects such as the ARS521.8 billion ($230 million) El Quemado solar park project, pertaining the construction of a 305MW solar farm in Mendoza, and the development of a sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production plant in Chubut, with an investment of ARS5.7 trillion ($2.5 billion).

GlobalData expects the Argentine construction industry to register average annual growth of 5.1% between 2026 and 2029, supported by investments in transport, oil and gas, and renewable energy projects. The Argentine government announced plans in December 2024, to construct a multipurpose port terminal in Escobar, with an estimated cost of ARS1.4 trillion ($600 million). The project includes the construction of a 375m long and 17m deep dock, along with an 18km long highway connecting it. Furthermore, growth will be driven by the country’s Argentine Nuclear Plan, which was proposed in December 2024. The plan involves the construction of a Small Modular Reactor (SMR) at the Atucha Nuclear Power Plant by 2030. In another development, Argentina has already received requests under the Régimen de Incentivo a las Grandes Inversiones (RIGI) mechanism for ARS26.8 trillion ($11.8 billion) in investment in December 2024. The investments are focused primarily on domestic renewable energy projects, which supports the country’s aim to increase the renewable energy share in the total energy mix from 37% in 2023 to 57% by 2030.
