Construction in Argentina - Key Trends and Opportunities to 2025
Summary Argentina’s construction industry is estimated to have dropped by -31.5% in 2020, and contract further by 5% in 2021, before recovering to 2.1% in the remaining part of the forecast period (2022-2025). Although the industry has been gradually recovering in recent months, as the government continues to push forward its reopening plan to kickstart the economy - and news of the rollout of vaccines present optimism to the short-term outlook - the level of investment in construction will likely not be enough to pull the industry out of recession this year.
Lingering macroeconomic imbalances (including weak economic activity, a falling peso, and high levels of unemployment) are expected to continue to hold back private investment in infrastructure projects and other buildings and hinder the recovery of the industry in the coming months. Furthermore, the number of Coronavirus (COVID-19) cases is again accelerating across the country, which could lead to a possible retightening of COVID-19 lockdown measures, while the potential of more government market-unfriendly policies - which could have implications in the country’s economy and fiscal position ahead of the legislative election in October - pose additional downside risks to the industry’s short-term outlook.
Argentina now has the third highest number of COVID-19 cases in Latin America, after Brazil and Colombia, and the third highest number of fatalities after Brazil and Mexico.According to Johns Hopkins University, Argentina had 1,744,704 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 44,848 fatalities as of January 13th.
Despite implementing early and strict lockdown measures in late March last year, which initially helped slow the spread of the virus, this did not prevent the country from recording one of the highest numbers of COVID-19 deaths per capita in Latin America.
Although the gradual ease of lockdown measures in many parts of the country has contributed to the slight improvement in activity in the industry in recent months, the continued rise in COVID-19 cases and worsening economic conditions have made it more difficult for construction companies to restart their operations, with many projects facing further delays or being temporarily cancelled due to the heightened uncertainty over the economy and duration of the virus. The latest figures from the National Institute of Statistics and Census (INDEC) indicated that Argentina’s construction industry continued to decline sharply in the third quarter of 2020, albeit at a slower rate than in the previous quarter, posting a year-on-year (Y-o-Y) decrease of 27% in Q3 2020, compared -51.9% in Q2 2020 and -19.7% in Q1 2020. On a quarter-on-quarter (Q-o-Q) basis, however, the industry rose by 52.1%, compared to a decline of 39.4% in the previous quarter.
