The analyst forecasts the Brazilian construction industry to record an average annual growth of 3.9% from 2027 to 2030, supported by investments in renewable energy projects, in line with the government's plan to increase the share of renewable energy in the total energy mix from 16% in 2021 to 45% by 2030, and reach net-zero emissions by 2050. In line with this, in December 2025, the Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME) revealed the Electricity Transmission Brochure of the Decennial Energy Expansion Plan 2035 (PDE 2035). According to this, the government estimates an investment of over BRL120 billion ($20.5 billion) to improve the transmission capacity of the country by 2035. Additionally, a BRL20 billion ($3.4 billion) transmission project was under construction as of January 2026. This project includes the construction of a transmission line spanning 1,500km from Graça Aranha to Silvânia; and is expected to be completed by 2029. Growth will also be supported by the new freight concession program announced in November 2025, which introduced a funding model combining public and private finance for construction projects. Under the program, the Ministry of Transport announced plans to award eight concession projects in 2026 and 2027, covering more than 9,000km of new and existing railways. The program is expected to attract BRL140 billion ($25.8 billion) in financing, unlocking a total of BRL600 billion ($110.8 billion) in investment in the rail network.
