Abstract This paper aims to analyze the migration process of Paraguayan rural workers to Argentina and their subsequent employment in the construction industry of the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires. Through the joint presentation of fragments of interviews and secondary sources, the aim is to track the origin of workers in the construction of the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires in the different localities of Paraguay, in order to discuss the possibility of considering Construction as a particular "job niche" that manages to capture the workforce of a significant number of Paraguayan migrants of rural origin. As a result of the analysis carried out, it is concluded that although there are important indications that lead to believe it, it is not possible to establish linear explanations that relate the rural provenance of the migrants with the labor insertion in the construction industry.

GlobalData has further cut its forecast for Argentine construction industry to -16% in 2020 with the high likelihood of further downward revisions if activity in the short-term is more severely disrupted than currently anticipated. Read More

The Argentina Construction Aggregates market, valued at over USD 2.2 Billion in 2023, relies on different types of materials for construction.

The South American anchors and grouts market, currently valued at approximately $XX million (estimated based on provided CAGR and market trends for a similar region), is projected to experience robust growth, exceeding a 5% Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) from 2025 to 2033. This expansion is driven by several key factors. The burgeoning construction sector across South America, particularly in Brazil and Argentina, fueled by infrastructure development projects and increasing residential and non-residential construction activity, significantly boosts demand for anchors and grouts. Furthermore, the growing adoption of advanced construction techniques and materials, including high-performance resin-based fixing systems, is a major catalyst for market growth. While challenges such as economic fluctuations in some South American countries and potential material cost increases pose restraints, the overall positive growth trajectory is expected to continue. The market is segmented by type (cementitious, resin, bedding mortars, and others), end-user industry (residential, non-residential, infrastructure), and geography (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Rest of South America). Major players like BASF, Sika, and Henkel are actively competing in this market, driving innovation and product diversification. Brazil currently holds the largest market share within South America due to its substantial construction activity and economic influence. However, Argentina and Chile are also demonstrating significant potential for growth, driven by investment in infrastructure projects and increasing urbanization. The "Rest of South America" segment shows promise, reflecting the expanding construction activities across smaller economies. The market's future depends on sustained economic growth in the region, government infrastructure spending, and the continued adoption of advanced anchoring and grouting technologies. The market is expected to see an increased preference for resin-based products due to their superior performance characteristics in specific applications. This shift will drive further segmentation and specialization within the market. Recent developments include: In May 2022, Sika established a new manufacturing plant for construction chemicals in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia, to enhance production capacity. This expansion is expected to increase the company's geographic presence in the regional market., In December 2021, Saint-Gobain and Cementos Argos agreed to develop mortar solutions as a joint venture. This joint venture merged Saint-Gobain's mortar technology with Argos' strong local presence to offer a vast range of solutions to the Colombian construction market.. Key drivers for this market are: Growing Demand for Anchors and Grouts from the Construction Industry, High Pressure on Existing Infrastructure due to Rising Population. Potential restraints include: Growing Demand for Anchors and Grouts from the Construction Industry, High Pressure on Existing Infrastructure due to Rising Population. Notable trends are: Growing Demand from the Non- Residential Segment.
