Cameroon Construction Market Size, Trends, and Forecasts by Sector - Commercial, Industrial, Infrastructure, Energy and Utilities, Institutional and Residential Market Analysis to 2029 (H2 2025)

Summary

GlobalData estimates the construction industry in Cameroon to expand by 4.8% in real terms in 2025, supported by investments in infrastructure, and energy and utilities projects. According to the National Institute of Statistics of Cameroon (NSO), the construction industry’s value-add, 2016 constant prices, rose by 6.9% year on year (YoY) in Q4 2024, preceded by YoY growth of 3.7% in Q3 and 3.9% in Q2 2024. Growth in 2025 will also be supported by the budgetary allocation by the government under the State budget for 2025. In December 2024, the Cameroonian government approved the financial bill of State Budget for 2025, with an expenditure of CFA7.3 trillion ($12.2 billion). The 2025 Budget prioritizes infrastructure development, with the government allocated CFA1.4 trillion ($2.3 billion) to the infrastructure sector, an increase of 21.2% compared with 2024 Budget allocation.

The country’s construction industry is however expected to face downside risks in the short-term owing to significant exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations. According to the Autonomous Sinking Fund (CAA), the country’s public debt manager, 68.5% of the country’s debt denominated in foreign currencies as of May 2025. Of the total foreign currency-denominated debt, 40% of the country’s debt has effective exposure to exchange rate fluctuations.

Over the remainder of the forecast period, the construction industry in Cameroon is expected to register an annual average growth of 5.7% in real terms from 2026 to 2029, supported by public-private sector investment in industrial, transport and energy infrastructure development, coupled with investment under the Stratégie Nationale de Développement 2020-30 plan (National Development Strategy, known as SND30).

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
