Cameroon Construction Market Size, Trends, and Forecasts by Sector - Commercial, Industrial, Infrastructure, Energy and Utilities, Institutional and Residential Market Analysis to 2029 (H1 2025)

Summary

GlobalData’s Construction in Cameroon - Country Briefing (H1 2025) report provides detailed market analysis, information, and insights into Cameroon’s construction industry, including -
  • Cameroon’s construction industry's growth prospects by market, project type and construction activity
  • Critical insight into the impact of industry trends and issues, as well as an analysis of key risks and opportunities in Cameroon’s construction industry
  • Analysis of the mega-project pipeline, focusing on development stages and participants, in addition to listings of major projects in the pipeline.
The construction industry in Cameroon in 2025 is expected to expand by 3.5% in real terms, driven by public and private sector investments in energy and utilities, road and railway infrastructure construction projects. According to the National Institute of Statistics of Cameroon (NSO), the construction industry’s value-add grew by 3% year on year (YoY) in Q1 2024, preceded by YoY growth of 4.3% in Q4 and 3.5% in Q3 2023. In December 2024, the Cameroonian government approved the financial bill of State Budget for 2025 fiscal year, with an expenditure of CFA7.3 trillion ($11.9 billion). Of the total, the government plans to allocate CFA1.9 trillion ($3 billion) to Public Investment Budget (PIB), compared with CFA1.6 trillion ($2.6 billion) allocated in the 2024 Budget.

GlobalData expects Cameroon’s construction industry to register an annual average growth of 6.3% from 2026 to 2029, supported by public-private sector investment in transport and energy infrastructure development, coupled with investment under the Stratégie Nationale de Développement 2020-30 plan (National Development Strategy, known as SND30). Through the SND30 initiative, the Cameroonian government aims to increase the overall paved road length from 9,885km in 2023 to 11,300km by 2027, by building an additional 1,415km of paved roads. In November 2024, the European Union promised to provide CFA59.2 billion ($96 million) to Cameroon over the next three years to boost the West African country's infrastructure and attract foreign investment. The loan will help Cameroon to develop its energy sector, road infrastructure, and a railway network. Moreover, the government’s plan to increase the share of renewable energy in the electricity mix to 25% by 2035, coupled with intent to reduce 35% in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2030, compared to 2010 levels is expected to support energy and utilities construction sector output over the forecast period.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
