Key Highlights

• The infrastructure sector is estimated to receive US$1.2 trillion in investments during 2008–2013. The sum will be divided between the energy and infrastructure sectors, with a larger amount allocated for infrastructure development such as road, rail, ports and stadiums.
• The Brazilian government aims to complete 12,265 infrastructure projects by the end of 2016, which would require an investment of US$800 billion.
• Imports for construction equipment increased in 2010 against 2009, making equipment in the country more expensive, while increased inflation also drove up prices. With the construction industry growing strongly in 2011, demand for construction equipment has increased, and sales of both domestic and imported construction equipment have risen. In line with the increase in equipment prices, rental prices for construction equipment also rose.
• The presence of global companies in the Brazilian construction industry has led to increased levels of technical expertise in the industry, which is adding to competition among construction companies.
