The Construction in Colombia - Key Trends and Opportunities to 2029 (H1 2025) report provides detailed market analysis, information and insights into the Colombian construction industry, including:

  • The Colombian 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 Colombian 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 Colombia’s construction industry to expand by 3.3% in real terms in 2025, backdropped by a stronger macroeconomic outlook. Increased investments in manufacturing, hospitality, and renewable energy projects are supported by declining interest rates (at 9.5%) and cooled inflation at 5.2%; down from 8.4% YoY. Markedly, in December 2024, Colombia's Congress approved the 2025 Budget with an estimated expenditure of COP511 trillion ($112.8 billion); an increase of 6.9% compared with the previous budget of COP487.1 trillion ($107.6 billion) for 2024. Furthermore, according to the National Administrative Department of Statistics of Colombia (DANE), industry value-add grew by 2.4% year on year (YoY) in the first three quarters of 2024, while the total gross capital formation grew by 2.6% YoY during the same period.

Over the remaining part of the forecast period, the construction industry is expected to record annual average growth of 5.4% between 2026 and 2029, supported by investments in transport and energy projects, coupled with government plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 51% by 2030 and reach carbon neutrality by 2050. In December 2024, Colombia's Infrastructure Agency (ANI) announced plans to construct a new airport in Cartagena (CACI), with an investment of COP12 trillion ($2.6 billion), including a 17,000m² international terminal. Additionally, La Dorada-Chiriguaná Railway Condor project, led by the ANI and the National Development Finance Company (FDN), pertains a COP3.5 trillion ($776 million) public-private partnership (PPP) project, including a 522km corridor to connect key municipalities; the project aspires to revitalize Colombia’s rail network, enhancing freight transport efficiency by 2029.
