Summary

GlobalData’s Construction in Panama - Key Trends and Opportunities to 2028 (H1 2024) report provides detailed market analysis, information, and insights into Panama's construction industry, including -
  • Panama's construction industry's growth prospects by market, project type, and construction activity
  • Critical insight into the impact of industry trends and issues, as well as an analysis of key risks and opportunities in Panama's construction industry
  • Analysis of the mega-project pipeline, focusing on development stages and participants, in addition to listings of major projects in the pipeline.
The construction industry in Panama is projected to record a growth of 6.9% in 2024, after experiencing an annual growth of 19.7% in 2023. This slowdown is attributed to reduced trade activity caused by a drought affecting traffic in the Panama Canal as well as the closure of the Cobre Panama mine following a protest over its new long-term operating contract. The Cobre Panama mine is a significant component of Panama’s economy -, it contributed approximately 5% to country’s GDP in 2022. The closure of the mine will result in sluggish tax revenues and exacerbate the current challenges in government spending. Moreover, the ongoing headwinds such as high construction material prices, as well as supply chain disruptions caused by the Red Sea conflict are expected to impact the industry’s growth in the short term. In another setback to the industry’s output, the total permitted construction area of the main municipalities in the country fell by 42.8% year-on-year (YoY) in the first three months of 2024, owing to a 34.1% YoY fall in the permitted construction area of residential buildings and a 56.9% YoY fall in the permitted construction area of non-residential buildings, according to the National Institute of Statistics and Census of Panama (INEC).

GlobalData expects the construction industry in Panama to record an annual average growth rate of 5.3% between 2024 and 2028, supported by investments in transport, renewable energy, green hydrogen, and telecommunication infrastructure projects. The government is undertaking a $2.8 billion railway infrastructure project that involves the construction of a 24.5km Panama Metro Line 3 line between Albrook to Ciudad del Futuro, with a 6km tunnel section under the Panama Canal. As of February 2024, civil works on the Panama Metro Line 3 were 50% complete, according to Panama Metro, which is a state-owned company responsible for implementing infrastructure works and providing equipment necessary for operation of the Metro system in the city of Panama. Construction works are expected to be completed by 2027. The government is also focusing on attracting investors in its green hydrogen sector by providing various policy incentives, such as exemption from import taxes on required equipment for renewable hydrogen production projects.

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.
