Following a strong overall annual growth of 15.6% in 2023, The analyst expects the Mexican construction industry to decline by 4.5% in 2024 before declining 3.7% in 2025. This trend will be driven by a high base effect after significant growth in 2023, as well as challenges like high inflation - causing building materials and wages to rise, and cancellation of construction projects. For example, in February 2024, the development of 35 wind power generation, collectively worth MXN100.8 billion ($5.8 billion), were halted due to regulatory hurdles, while 559 highway maintenance tenders worth MXN11 billion ($645 million) were cut by Mexico's Secretariat of Communications and Transport (SCT) due to insufficient funding. Additionally, the end of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s (AMLO) term in September 2024 will likely lead to significant changes in policy that could drive uncertainty, impacting investor sentiment and dampening new investments in the construction industry.
Over the remainder of the forecast period, the construction industry is expected to register an annual average growth of 2.6% during 2026-28, this will be supported through investment in renewable energy, transport infrastructure and manufacturing projects. For Example, in February 2024, the Mexican retail company, Femsa, announced a plan to expand its business operations in Mexico with an investment of MXN237 billion ($13.9 billion) by 2029. Of this total, around 60-70% will be invested in the construction of new stores.
