DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/8386a2/mexico_infrastruct) has announced the addition of the "Mexico Infrastructure Report Q1 2011" report to their offering.
The Mexico Infrastructure Report provides industry professionals and strategists, corporate analysts, infrastructure associations, government departments and regulatory bodies with independent forecasts and competitive intelligence on Mexico's infrastructure industry.
The implementation of the country's National Infrastructure Plan (NIP) continues to disappoint and the latest data from the national statistics agency show that the construction industry did not avoid a recession in 2010 with overall construction industry value declining by 2.7%. With some tenders under way there is scope for activity to resume in 2011 and low base effects largely account for the strong growth in the coming years.
- The Punta Colonet port seems to be on the Mexican government's agenda once again, with 2011 set as the date for this highly elusive tender. Three years after the tender was first launched, and subsequently abandoned, the move to revive the project indicates to BMI that the government is convinced investor sentiment is bullish enough to garner interest in what could be one of the largest tenders in the Latin American infrastructure space. We remain cautious. While we believe more interest will be registered in 2011 than in 2008, we are cautious to what extent it will match the government's expectations of a US$3bn commitment by the private sector.
- Japanese utilities and engineering companies are increasing their foothold in Mexico's utilities sector with the support of Japanese public institutions such as the Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC). With the addition of Gas Natural's assets in Mexico (October 2010), Mitsui is becoming one of the largest investors and operators in Mexico's utilities sector.
- Revised historical data series dating back to 2003 indicate a much more robust construction sector in terms of industry value than previously estimated. Mexico's construction industry value in 2009 was MXN797bn (US$59bn), compared to the previous estimate of MXN556bn(US$41bn). Low base effects from 2010 will accentuate industry value growth in 2011, which will in turn moderate from 2012 onwards, in line with BMIs forecasts of a deceleration in gross fixed capital formation real growth.
- Over the final months of 2010 the wind power sector saw a plethora of investment pledges for large scale capacity projects. Spanish Games a and Eolia Renovables de Inversiones made the largest investment pledge, with plans announced in December 2010 for the development of wind farms with combined capacity of 324MW over 2011 and 2013.
