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

The construction industry in Mozambique is expected to grow by 3% in real terms in 2025, supported by public and private sector investments into the development of transport, and infrastructure projects. Resumption of TotalEnergies $20 billion LNG project - put on-hold since 2021 following civil unrest in the region - in the second half of 2025 is expected to boost construction activities. In March 2025, the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) of the Bank of Mozambique decided to reduce the policy rate, known as the Mozambican Interbank Money Market Rate (MIMO rate), from 12.25% to 11.75%. This decision is primarily influenced by the continued expectation of single-digit inflation in the medium term, despite rising uncertainties related to worsening fiscal risks, as well as concerns about potential post-election protests and their impact on the prices of goods and services. In pursuit of becoming a major regional shipping hub, the country is significantly investing in its ports. In January 2025, construction work started for the expansion of Mozambique’s Port of Maputo with a total investment of MZN133.2 billion ($2.1 billion). As part of this plan, MZN38.8 billion ($600 million) will be used in the next three years to upgrade key areas.

Mozambique’s construction industry is expected to register an annual average growth rate of 4.8% in real terms from 2026 to 2029, supported by investments for the development of energy, transport infrastructure, and telecommunication projects. By 2050, the government is aiming to achieve at least 7.5GW of solar photovoltaic capacity and up to 2.5GW of wind power capacity installed within the country. In March 2025, the Ministry of Mineral Resources and Energy (MIREME) announced its plan to develop a clear roadmap for scaling up solar and wind energy, focusing on a series of large-scale projects with targets of 200MW by 2025 and 600MW by 2030
