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

Summary

The construction industry in Mozambique is estimated to shrink by 1.3% in real terms in 2025, owing to high construction costs, a decline in construction activities, and credit for loans approved for the construction industry. According to the Instituto Nacional de Estatística (INE), the construction industry value-add declined by 2.2% year on year (YoY) in Q2 2025, preceded by YoY declines of 10.8% in Q1 2025 and 10% in Q4 2024. The credit provided to the construction industry fell by 2.2% YoY in the first eight months of 2025, according to the Bank of Mozambique. In 2024, the average credit to the construction industry declined by 1.1% YoY. In September 2025, Mozambique’s private sector business activity experienced a slight slowdown, marking the first decline in sales in three months, as indicated by the Standard Bank Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI), which fell to 49.4 in September 2025 from 49.9 in August 2025.

Over the remainder of the forecast period, Mozambique’s construction industry is expected to register an annual average growth rate of 4.7% in real terms from 2026 to 2029, supported by investments for the development of transport infrastructure, energy, and telecommunication projects. In line with this, the government launched the National Public Works Administration (ANOP, IP) to enhance the planning, coordination, and supervision of public infrastructure projects nationwide in July 2025. This was created by Presidential Decree No. 12/2025, which mandates to preparation and validation of engineering designs, enforces technical standards, oversees construction quality, and promotes climate-resilient building practices. By setting clear technical standards and overseeing project design and execution, it will reduce poor workmanship and corruption-related inefficiencies that have often delayed or weakened public works. Additionally, to support this, in the same month, the government announced that it aims to train 5,000 construction workers by 2028 to support the construction industry. Furthermore, in August 2025, the government signed a strategic cooperation agreement worth MZN1.3 trillion ($20 billion) with Qatar-based Al Mansour Holding in Maputo to advance development across major economic and social sectors.

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.
