The Brazilian construction industry recorded a CAGR of 13.16% during the review period and valued BRL398.5 billion (US$204.5 billion) in 2012. The country’s high tax burden, shortage of skilled labor, poor infrastructure and strong currency made it uncompetitive and reliant on domestic market growth. Realizing the importance of modernizing infrastructure to achieve long-term growth, the government announced a BRL133 billion (US$66 billion) plan to establish a set of auctions to attract private firms into building and managing the nation’s infrastructure.

Executive summary
The Brazilian construction industry recorded a CAGR of 13.16% during the review period and valued
BRL398.5 billion (US$204.5 billion) in 2012. The country’s high tax burden, shortage of skilled labor,
poor infrastructure and strong currency made it uncompetitive and reliant on domestic market growth.
Realizing the importance of modernizing infrastructure to achieve long-term growth, the government
announced a BRL133 billion (US$66 billion) plan to establish a set of auctions to attract private firms into
building and managing the nation’s infrastructure.
Construction related to the FIFA World Cup and the Olympic Games will support all construction markets
going forward and infrastructure construction is projected to remain the fastest-growing construction market
over the forecast period. The nation’s housing deficit has created a challenging environment and is
adversely affecting the poorest sections of society. Speculative buying has resulted in a competitive property
market which has driven prices and effectively excluded low income families. Timetric expects the Brazilian
construction industry to record a CAGR of 8.67% over the forecast period and to value BRL603.8 billion
(US$309.9 billion) in 2017.
Scope
This report provides a comprehensive analysis of the construction industry in Brazil:
Historical (2008-2012) and forecast (2013-2017) valuations of the construction market in Brazil using the
construction output and value-add methods Segmentation by sector (commercial, industrial, infrastructure,
institutional and residential) and by project type Breakdown of values within each project type, by type of
activity (new construction, repair and maintenance, refurbishment and demolition) and by type of cost
(materials, equipment and services) Analysis of key construction industry issues, including regulation, cost
management, funding and pricing Assessment of the competitive environment using Porter’s Five
Forces Detailed profiles of the leading construction companies in Brazil
Key highlights
Overall construction industry output valued BRL398.5 billion (US$204.5 billion) in 2012 recording a CAGR
of 13.16% during the review period. The industry is projected to record a CAGR of 8.67% over the forecast
period and value BRL603.8 billion (US$309.9 billion) in 2017. Inflated operational costs are associated with
doing business in Brazil, making the country’s goods and services more expensive. This is referred to
as the “Brazil Cost”. Excessive bureaucracy, high levels of corruption within the public sector,
high labor costs and taxes undermine confidence and industry competitiveness. Brazil’s infrastructure
is currently in an under developed state and this poses a key challenge to the development of the

2. country’s industrial sector. Delays continue to threaten infrastructure projects. In 2012, a spate of
worker strikes, spurred by demands for higher wages, halted work on key hydroelectric projects. Difficulties
in obtaining environmental permits could also delay major projects. In line with Brazil’s National
Development Bank (BNDES), Timetric anticipates infrastructural investments totaling BRL597 billion
(US$294 billion) over 2012−2015, 30% higher than the BRL461 billion (US$227 billion) invested
during 2007−2010. Electricity and transport are slated to be the main investment targets. Despite the
housing market being overvalued in Brazil, house prices continue to rise at one of the highest rates in the
world. The residential construction market is set to grow over the forecast period, driven by rising incomes,
the increased availability of mortgages and a scarcity of affordable housing. A depressed economic
environment in Europe and a slowing economic growth rate in China led to a decline in the demand for
Brazilian exports, and consequently a decline in production. Wage indexation, combined with lack of an
educated workforce decreased the competitiveness of the Brazilian manufacturing sector. Construction activity
in the industrial construction market is projected to remain relatively sluggish. Indeed, industrial construction
is projected to be the slowest-growing construction category over the forecast period recording a CAGR of
7.10%. Institutional construction was the smallest construction category in Brazil in 2012, with a share of
3.8% and valuing BRL15.1 billion (US$7.7 billion). A lack of a qualified workforce forces hiring of foreign
human capital, unnecessary salary inflation and a decline in industry competitiveness. In October 2012,
Brazil’s lower house of Congress passed a National Education Plan wherein public spending on
education will be raised to 10% of GDP by 2020, the highest share in the world.
