About the sector

How construction and engineering foreign trade moves today

The construction and engineering sector operates with cyclical demand, dependence on large-scale projects and intensive imports of materials and equipment from Asia and Europe. Four factors set the pace of the sector today:

Cyclical demand

Volume closely tied to large-scale projects and works that create peaks and troughs in demand.

Intensive imports

Materials and equipment imported mainly from Asia and Europe with variable prices and availability.

Critical lead times

Delivery times determine whether a project advances or is delayed, with a direct impact on costs and schedules.

Price competition

The market is won on price, availability and delivery times against local importers and distributors.
