Construction in Mexico – Key Trends and Opportunities to 2025
Summary
Mexico’s construction industry is estimated to have declined by 17.9% in 2020, and then expand by 9.8% in 2021, before stabilizing at an annual average rate of 2.6% over the remaining part of the forecast period (2022-2025). The optimistic outlook for 2021 assumes that activity will continue to gradually rebound in the next months, as the rollout of Coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccinations will allow more restrictions to be lifted by the second quarter. However, a downward revision is very likely if the deployment of vaccines turns out to be slower than anticipated due to issues related to production, distribution, or administration. Also, there is a risk that the virus could mutate in a way that makes the current vaccines less effective, which could require new rounds of vaccinations and the retightening of lockdown measures while these take place.
Moreover, the absence of a significant relief package to mitigate the economic fallout of the pandemic, together with subdued oil prices, low spending in public works, and uncertainty over the economy and government policies, remain major challenges that will continue to cloud business sentiment and hold back private investment in the sector.
In addition, the continued increase in COVID-19 cases across the country could limit the recovery of the sector in the first half of the year. Even though all construction companies have been allowed to resume activities since June 1, many continue to struggle to revive their operations amid the ongoing increase in COVID-19 cases, a depressed economic environment, and a lack of private investment amid the subdued confidence constraining households and capital spending.
Mexico has the fourth highest number of COVID-19 cases in Latin America after Brazil, Colombia, and Argentina and the second highest number of fatalities after Brazil. According to the Johns Hopkins University, Mexico had 1,711,283 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 146,174 fatalities as of January 22. On January 15, the country registered a new daily record for COVID-19 infections with 21,366 new cases. Health authorities said that the high number of deaths and low testing point to a far more serious picture than the official data suggests.
