Latin America Infrastructure Construction Market Dynamics
The Latin America infrastructure construction market will grow at a CAGR of 3.8% during the projected period, mainly due to over 20% construction projects undergoing the execution stage, while over 60% in the pre-planning and planning stages, respectively. Growing government spending on infrastructure projects supported by the inflow of FDI in the revenue-generating economies of the region will further propel the infrastructure construction market growth in Latin America.
For instance, the Brazilian government plans to continue its spending on infrastructure projects, with a focus on improving regional connectivity through the development of transport infrastructure especially rail infrastructure to transport cargo. The government has set a target to increase the share of rail to 35% of the total freight transported by 2035. Similarly, the infrastructure construction sector in Mexico is supported by public and private sector investment in rail and road infrastructure projects. The government in other economies including Columbia, Argentina, and rest of Latin America are working on strengthening the infrastructure development across sectors including the railways, roads, and electricity and power sectors.

Latin America Infrastructure Construction Report Highlights
- The Latin America infrastructure construction market is estimated to grow at a compounded annual growth rate of 3.8% over the forecast period. The regional dynamics are likely to remain steady with nearly a quarter of the infrastructure project pipeline undergoing the execution stage and more than 60% the in the pre-planning and planning stages, respectively.
- The roads category is anticipated to emerge as the largest segment over the predicted timeline, mostly fueled by public spending to enhance or expand the existing regional connectivity across key economies of the region.
- The water and sewage sector accounted for the second-largest share in 2021. The high inflation is pushing up construction which could dampen investment in the short term. Long-term investments will be driven by the growing climate emergency, the aim to meet UN sustainable development goals, and governments’ growth ambitions. This is likely to be supported by foreign aid and grants.
- The electricity and power segment is anticipated to showcase a strong annual average growth rate of nearly 4.2% over the forecast period. The efforts to pursue renewable sources of energy for electricity generation are likely to positively aid the segmental growth in the short-term period.
- The railways category accounted for the smallest share within the overall regional dynamics in 2021. Although, this sector is expected to remain the second fastest growing segment over the forecast period, mostly backed by project pipelines in Brazil, Mexico, and Argentina.
- Brazil is projected to remain a dominant force with a project pipeline share of nearly 42.0% within the overall regional group. The Ministry of Transport, Brazil (MoT) is developing a railway network as a part of the Logistic Investment Program in Brazil. The program includes the construction, modernization, and maintenance of 7,500km of railway lines by the end of 2027.
- Mexico is expected to emerge the second largest country in terms of construction output value in 2021. The country is expected to register a growth of 3.3% during 2024-26, supported by public and private sector investment in rail and road infrastructure projects. For instance, in the latest budget, the government allocated MXN142.9 billion ($7.2 billion) for completing the construction of the Maya railroad project.
- Argentina is predicted to record an annual average growth rate of 2.7% from 2023 to 2026. This growth is primarily driven by the government’s commitment towards carrying out public work projects, along with its initiative to modernize railways by 2030.
