Brazil Construction Market Size, Trend Analysis by Sector (Commercial, Industrial, Infrastructure, Energy and Utilities, Institutional and Residential) and Forecasts, 2022-2026
Summary
GlobalData expects Brazil’s construction industry to remain positive in 2022, growing by 7.4% in real terms, supported by improving economic conditions, the restart of major infrastructure projects that were during the pandemic and fiscal stimulus aimed at improving infrastructure across the country. The latest figures from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) showed that the construction industry’s value add grew by 8.2% year on year (YoY) in the first nine months of 2022.
Brazilian construction industry is expected to lose momentum in 2023, with industry expected to grow by 2.7% in real terms that year, owing to significant headwinds facing the global construction industry stemming from high energy and construction material prices, surging inflation, and disruptions in the supply of key construction materials amid the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
Over the remainder of the forecast period, Brazil’s construction industry is expected to record an annual average growth rate of 2.9% between 2024 and 2026, supported by investment in transport, energy, and housing projects. The government plans to continue its spending on infrastructure projects, with a focus on improving regional connectivity through the development of transport infrastructure. In early November 2022, the Ministry of Infrastructure reported that it received total 48 applications from private sector worth BRL189.4 billion ($37 billion) to construct 15,013.4km of new rail line under the Pro Rail law.
