Uruguay Construction Market Size, Trend Analysis by Sector (Commercial, Industrial, Infrastructure, Energy and Utilities, Institutional and Residential) and Forecasts, 2022-2026

Summary

The construction industry in Uruguay is estimated to expand by 7.7% in real terms in 2022, following an annual growth of 6% in 2021. The industry’s growth in 2022 will be supported by an improvement in consumer and investor confidence amid recovery in the Coronavirus (COVID-19) situation, coupled with government investments in infrastructure development. The industry’s growth is however expected to slow to 2.5% in 2023, owing to headwinds caused by a rise in inflation, construction material prices, and interest rates. According to the INE (National Institute of Statistics), the average construction cost index rose by 8.4% year-on-yar (YoY) in the first ten months of 2022. This increase is attributed to the rise in prices of both labor (8.3% YoY) and material (8.1% YoY).

GlobalData expects the industry to rebound at an annual average growth rate of 2.7% from 2024 to 2026, supported by investment in transport and electricity infrastructure development. As part of the National Road Infrastructure Plan 2020-2025, the Ministry of Transport and Public Works (MoTP) will invest UTYU137.6 billion ($3.3 billion) on road infrastructure projects, until 2025. The plan involves work on 7,692km of roads - equivalent to 81.1% of the country’s total road network. The plan is to maintain 4,440km of road, upgrade 2,610km of road, and build 642km of new road, until 2025. Additionally, the government will also invest UYU4.9 billion ($118 million) to build 100 new roundabouts and 10 new interchanges, during this period.
