The Civil Construction sector had a remarkable performance in 2024. It registered a growth of 4.3%, closing the year with a Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of R$ 359.523 billion. The data was released by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE). The result confirmed the projections of the Brazilian Chamber of the Construction Industry (CBIC), which had forecasted a 4.1% increase for the sector. According to analyses, the positive performance occurred due to the greater dynamism of the national economy, the growth in the labor market, and the increase in construction works due to the election year, as well as the return of the works from the Minha Casa, Minha Vida (MCMV) program.
Impact of Growth on the Market
The sector’s growth had significant impacts on formal job creation. A total of 110,133 new jobs were created, bringing the number of workers in Civil Construction to 2.858 million. The three segments of Civil Construction – Building Construction, Specialized Services for Construction, and Infrastructure Works – all showed a positive balance of hires over layoffs, which further strengthens the sustainable growth of the sector. The increased demand for labor also reflects an expansion in investments and greater confidence from entrepreneurs in the sector.
Another relevant factor was the expansion in the production of typical construction materials, which grew by 5.5% in 2024, reversing the 2.8% decline recorded the previous year. This growth follows the rise in demand from the sector, driven by the resumption of housing and infrastructure projects.
Impact on Real Estate Purchases
According to the real estate market, there were significant advancements, with a 20.9% increase in new apartment sales and an 18.6% growth in launches. This scenario reflects greater availability of credit and a growing consumer interest in purchasing properties. The main drivers are housing programs and better financing conditions.
Within the national economic context, Civil Construction was the third sector with the highest GDP growth in 2024, following Information and Communication Services (6.2%) and Other Service Activities (5.3%).
For 2025, the outlook suggests that the national economy will continue to grow, albeit at a slower pace. The CBIC estimates a 2.3% increase in the Civil Construction GDP. However, this does not mean a lack of challenges, but despite these caveats, the scenario remains positive.
