The Construction in Chile - Key Trends and Opportunities to 2028 (H2 2024) report provides detailed market analysis, information, and insights into the Chilean construction industry, including :

  • The Chilean 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 the Chilean 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 analyst expects the Chilean construction industry to contract by 1.6% in real terms in 2024, owing to high inflation, interest rates, and rising construction material costs. According to the Banco Central de Chile, the construction industry’s value add fell by 1.1% year on year (YoY) in Q1 2024, preceded by Y-o-Y decline of 2.4% in Q4 and 0.4% in Q3 2023. A decline in investor and developer confidence, arising from ongoing weakness in the residential sector, amid a continuous drop in residential permits, will further weigh down the Chilean construction industry in the short to medium term. According to the Chilean Chamber of Construction (CChC), the total number of new residential construction permits issued declined by 6.2% YoY in the first four months of 2024, whereas the total area of residential permits issued fell by 1% YoY during the same period. Overall, the total number of residential building permits issued fell by 27.7% and the total area fell by 28.8% in 2023.

Over the remainder of the forecast period, the construction industry is expected to rebound at an annual average growth rate of 4.1% (2025-28), supported by investment in energy, transportation, and mining sectors. In March 2024, Chilean copper producer, Minera Centinela, announced plans to expand its copper plant in the Centinela mines with an investment of CLP2.1 trillion ($2.5 billion). The project includes the construction of a new concentrator plant to increase the capacity by 140,000 tons annually by 2027. Furthermore, in March 2024, Mario Marcel - the Minister of Finance - announced plans add 3-4 lithium plants by 2026. In May 2024, the government published its Green Hydrogen Action Plan (2023-30), following the completion of the consultation process. This plan includes 81 actions across 18 categories to help Chile attain carbon neutrality by 2050. Under this, the government will lower taxes for the hydrogen projects, reduce permit times by 30%, and provide CLP856.5 billion ($1 billion) funding to the hydrogen projects by 2030. Growth over the forecasted period will be also supported by concession contracts worth CLP15.1 trillion ($17.6 billion) - announced by the government in May 2024 for the period 2024-28 - which includes 43 projects for transport, public buildings, water, and disaster safety projects.
