Mexico Construction Market Size, Trends, and Forecasts by Sector - Commercial, Industrial, Infrastructure, Energy and Utilities, Institutional and Residential Market Analysis to 2029 (Q1 2025)

Summary

GlobalData expects Mexico’s construction industry to decline by 7.1% in 2025, product of precarious US-Mexican relations, weaker public stimulus, and high base effect. In February 2025, Trump announced plans to impose a 25% tariff on all Mexican imports, albeit levies on USMCA counterparts have been repetitively postponed - now postponed until April 2nd. Despite the US having a total trade deficit of $162 billion to Mexico, the US has a net-surplus in terms of industrial supplies and materials of $65.8 billion, according to the US Economic Bureau (2023). Hence, hypothetical reciprocal tariffs of 25% will disproportionately weigh on Mexico’s construction industry; this is particularly pertinent for Mexico’s energy and utilities sector, given the US is one of the largest importers of Mexican gas. Moreover, if US-Mexico relations continue to fracture, Mexican exports are likely to become less competitive, leading to reduced inflows of US Dollars and turbulence in foreign exchange (FX) markets. Consequently, US tariffs are expected to weaken Mexico’s construction industry through diminished foreign direct investments (FDI) and waning business confidence in the Mexican Peso. Nevertheless, weakened US-Mexican relations could inadvertently nurture elevated Chinese investment.

In the longer term, despite ubiquitous economic uncertainty, Mexico’s construction industry is expected to recover and register annual average growth of 2.5% between 2026 and 2028, supported by public-private sector investment in oil and gas, transport infrastructure, and industrial construction projects. In January 2025, President Claudia Sheinbaum introduced the Mexico 2030 Plan, prioritising the development of tourism, consumer goods, automotive, information technology, and energy sectors, including corresponding land allocations for construction

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.
