📋 Tender Overview
The dynamism of the construction sector in Paraguay was strongly reflected in the increase in the import of machinery during 2025, in a context of sustained execution of public and private works in different parts of the country. At the end of the year, 1,976 teams entered, which represents a year-on-year growth of 28.2%. According to data from the Chamber of Automotive and Machinery Distributors (CADAM), the increase was concentrated in equipment directly linked to the execution of works. Backhoes led the rise, with a growth of 40.6%, followed by forklifts, which increased 38.3%, evidencing greater demand for soil movement, loading and operation tasks on simultaneous work fronts. More machines, more works in progress This behavior is closely linked to the volume of projects in execution at the national level. In the public sphere, the Ministry of Public Works and Communications (MOPC) maintains an active portfolio of road works and strategic infrastructure, which requires high operational capacity and intensive use of heavy machinery. Among the interventions underway, large-scale projects stand out such as the Bioceanic Corridor, the rehabilitation and duplication of national routes, as well as metropolitan access and connection works, where the deployment of equipment is key to meeting established deadlines. The increase in imports was also accompanied by greater movement in the domestic machinery market, driven by construction companies that strengthen their operational capacity in the face of the continuity of work and the opening of new work fronts, both in road and urban infrastructure. In this context, the expansion of the machinery park is consolidated as a thermometer of the level of activity of the sector and the countrys capacity to sustain investments in infrastructure, with a direct impact on employment, logistics and territorial development.
