Cameroon Construction Market Segmentation by Sectors

Infrastructure construction was the leading sector in the Cameroon construction market in 2023.

The key sectors in the Cameroon construction market are commercial construction, industrial construction, infrastructure construction, energy and utilities construction, institutional construction, and residential construction.

Commercial construction: The resurgence of commercial activities combined with increased investments in the leisure, hospitality, and recreational markets as well as an expected increase in the inflow of foreign tourists in Cameroon will be key driving factors for the sector’s growth.

Industrial construction: The government’s focus on the construction of industrial plants in the country will support market growth during the forecast period. As part of NDS30, unveiled in November 2020, the country plans to integrate Industrialization Master Plan (IMP), adopted in 2016, with the other sectors such as manufacturing and electricity sectors to support the development of industries in the country and aims to raise its rank in Newly Industrialized Countries (NICs) by 2035.

Infrastructure construction: The growth of the sector in 2023 is supported by the government’s execution of road construction development plans. Over the remainder of the forecast period, the government plans to expand the country’s road network by 121% in the next 13 years and the allocated budget will be used for maintaining and upgrading the road network in the country.

Energy and utilities construction: The government’s initiative to increase the country’s power capacity, coupled with investments in water infrastructure projects will boost the sector’s growth. In November 2023, the World Bank and the African Development Bank (AfDB) announced a plan to invest CFA480.5 trillion ($750 million) in the Cameroon-Chad Interconnection Project. The project involves the construction of 1,556km of new transmission lines between Cameroon and Chad, 1,318km of which will be in Cameroon.

Institutional construction: The government’s effort to provide better healthcare and education facilities throughout the country will drive the growth of the sector. As a part of NDS30, the government plans to expand basic education infrastructure to raise the average level of education and reform basic education administration in the country.

Residential construction: The government’s focus on increasing public and private housing supply to address the housing shortage in the country will drive the residential sector’s growth. In early December 2023, the government announced its plan to construct 550 new housing units in the cities of Douala and Yaounde in 2024. Moreover, in the latest budget, the government revealed plans to construct 335 social housing units in the country.

Business Intelligence & Marketing Manager, SAL Heavy Lift

“COVID-19 has caused significant interference to our business and the COVID-19 intelligence from GlobalData has helped us reach better decisions around strategy. These two highlights have helped enormously to understand the projections into the future concerning our business units, we also utilise the project database to source new projects for Liebherr-Werk to use as an additional source to pitch for new business.”

Market Analyst & Management, Liebherr-Werk

Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.

Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

“I know that I can always rely on Globaldata’s work when I’m searching for the right consumer and market insights. I use Globaldata insights to understand the changing market & consumer landscape and help create better taste & wellbeing solutions for our customers in food, beverage and healthcare industries.

Globaldata has the right data and the reports are of very high quality compared to your competitors. Globaldata not only has overall market sizes & consumer insights on food & beverages but also provides insights at the ingredient & flavour level. That is key for B2B companies like Givaudan. This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
