Powered by ![]()
All the vital news, analysis, and commentary curated by our industry experts.
The Colombian construction industry is expected to grow by 2.8% in real terms in 2026, supported by an increase in building permits, coupled with public and private investments in industrial, commercial and energy projects. According to the National Administrative Department of Statistics of Colombia (DANE), the total area approved for construction in 302 municipalities grew by 11.2% year-on-year (YoY) in the first eleven months of 2025, preceded by an annual decline of 23.8% in 2024. However, rising political uncertainty surrounding the 2026 election, and geopolitical tension with the US is expected to hinder the construction industry's performance in 2026.
Over the remaining part of the forecast period, the construction industry is expected to record an annual average growth rate of 5.4% between 2027 and 2030, supported by investments in transport and energy projects, coupled with the government’s plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and reach carbon neutrality by 2050. Furthermore, in November 2025, the government and Cundinamarca regional authorities jointly announced an investment of COP15.4 trillion ($3.5 billion) for the development of Northern RegioTram project. The 49km electrified tram-train line will connect Zipaquira with central Bogota. The project will feature 17 stations, connecting Bogota to northern municipalities like Zipaquira, Cajica, and Chia. Construction is expected to begin around 2030.
