Infrastructure
The development of multiple infrastructures is fundamental for the country’s sustainable economic growth. In Brazil, basic infrastructure is undergoing renewal, with significant opportunities in sectors such as transportation, sanitation, civil construction, ports, airports, and highways. However, the regulatory landscape and financing challenges remain significant barriers to the expansion and modernization of existing structures

However, the regulatory landscape and financing challenges remain significant barriers to the expansion and modernization of existing structures
The strengthening of public-private partnerships (PPPs) and the pursuit of new financing models, such as concessions and privatizations, offer an alternative to address the country’s infrastructure investment deficit. The private sector has increasingly been called upon to participate in the modernization and expansion of highways, railways, ports, airports, sanitation, and civil construction

Our take on the industry
The infrastructure sector in Brazil is in constant transformation, with growing demands for projects that meet the population’s needs, particularly in areas such as transportation, sanitation, and civil construction. The country seeks to increase the efficiency of its transportation infrastructure and expand access to basic sanitation, while also needing to modernize the civil construction sector, which is fundamental for urban and housing development.
The need to expand infrastructure in Brazil faces a complex regulatory environment, economic uncertainties, and challenges in attracting both domestic and international investments. Public-private partnerships (PPPs) and concessions are key strategies to make these projects viable in a sustainable and financially feasible manner.
The transportation sector is one of the pillars of this growth, with highways, railways, ports, and airports playing a crucial role in national and international connectivity. Basic sanitation, under the new legal framework, has opened significant opportunities for private investments in historically underserved areas. Furthermore, the civil construction sector continues to be a growth engine, with demands for housing, commercial infrastructure, and large-scale urban projects.
