Mexico Construction Market Size, Trends, and Forecasts by Sector - Commercial, Industrial, Infrastructure, Energy and Utilities, Institutional and Residential Market Analysis to 2029 (Q1 2025)

The analyst expects Mexico’s construction industry to decline by 7.1% in 2025, product of precarious US-Mexican relations, weaker public stimulus, and high base effect. In February 2025, Trump announced plans to impose a 25% tariff on all Mexican imports, albeit levies on USMCA counterparts have been repetitively postponed - now postponed until April 2nd. Despite the US having a total trade deficit of $162 billion to Mexico, the US has a net-surplus in terms of industrial supplies and materials of $65.8 billion, according to the US Economic Bureau (2023). Hence, hypothetical reciprocal tariffs of 25% will disproportionately weigh on Mexico’s construction industry; this is particularly pertinent for Mexico’s energy and utilities sector, given the US is one of the largest importers of Mexican gas. Moreover, if US-Mexico relations continue to fracture, Mexican exports are likely to become less competitive, leading to reduced inflows of US Dollars and turbulence in foreign exchange (FX) markets. Consequently, US tariffs are expected to weaken Mexico’s construction industry through diminished foreign direct investments (FDI) and waning business confidence in the Mexican Peso. Nevertheless, weakened US-Mexican relations could inadvertently nurture elevated Chinese investment.

In the longer term, despite ubiquitous economic uncertainty, Mexico’s construction industry is expected to recover and register annual average growth of 2.5% between 2026 and 2028, supported by public-private sector investment in oil and gas, transport infrastructure, and industrial construction projects. In January 2025, President Claudia Sheinbaum introduced the "Mexico 2030 Plan", prioritising the development of tourism, consumer goods, automotive, information technology, and energy sectors, including corresponding land allocations for construction
