Latin America Construction Market is Expected to Reach USD 514.29 Billion by 2030

Collaboration among numerous stakeholders in the region is driving the Latin America construction market demand during the forecast period.

The Latin America Construction Market size was valued at USD 415.21 billion in 2023, and is predicted to reach USD 514.29 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 1.7% from 2024 to 2030, according to the new research by Next Move Strategy Consulting.

The Latin America construction market serves as a cornerstone of economic growth, overseeing the entire lifecycle of various physical structures, including buildings and facilities, within the real estate and infrastructure sectors. It encompasses a diverse range of projects, spanning from residential complexes, commercial towers, and industrial facilities to civil engineering works and institutional infrastructure developments.

Collaboration among numerous stakeholders is essential to the construction industry operation. Architects, engineers, contractors, suppliers, developers, investors, and government agencies all play vital roles in ensuring the successful execution of construction projects. Their combined efforts contribute to shaping the built environment and driving innovation in construction practices, ultimately influencing the overall economic landscape.

However, the construction sector faces significant challenges stemming from the complex network of government regulations and permitting procedures. These processes often require multiple approvals from various levels of authority, ranging from local municipalities to federal agencies.

The regulatory framework encompasses a wide array of requirements, including zoning regulations, environmental assessments, compliance with building codes, and safety standards. Permit acquisition delays, bureaucratic inefficiencies, and disparities across jurisdictions can significantly extend project timelines and increase costs.

Moreover, fluctuations in regulations or sudden policy changes can disrupt ongoing projects and discourage potential investments. For example, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) oversees various aspects of the Latin America construction market, including air quality, waste disposal, and water regulations, offering compliance assistance resources throughout different construction phases.

On the other hand, the Latin America construction market is undergoing a transformative shift driven by digitalization and the widespread adoption of Building Information Modeling (BIM). These advancements are fundamentally reshaping project management practices by seamlessly integrating cutting-edge technologies to enhance efficiency, accuracy, and collaboration. 

BIM, an advanced 3D modeling tool, empowers stakeholders to create and manage digital representations of structures and infrastructure, thereby facilitating improved coordination and communication among project teams. 

For instance, the National Institute of Building Sciences (NIBS) introduced the U.S. National Building Information Management (BIM) Program in September 2022. This initiative aims to modernize the Latin America construction market and achieve unprecedented levels of industrial efficiency through digitalization.

By bridging the digitalization gap in the Latin America construction sector, this program seeks to streamline work processes, ultimately enhancing efficiency, cost-effectiveness, resilience, and safety in both construction and maintenance activities.
