Current Landscape
Our observations in Angola show that many residential projects remain low-rise, with brick masonry still widely used. In everyday construction, plywood continues to be a common formwork material, suggesting that the market is at an early stage in adopting modern systems. Meanwhile, in some government-led or high-specification projects—such as hospitals, universities, and certain commercial or residential complexes—more durable solutions like steel or aluminum formwork are sometimes preferred.
Market Development
Angola’s construction sector has considerable growth potential. On the infrastructure side, the government continues to invest in large-scale projects, including hydroelectric power stations and public facilities, as part of its broader national development agenda. Projects such as the Cambambe, Capanda, and Lauca hydropower plants are examples of Angola’s focus on energy and infrastructure expansion. On the housing side, rapid economic development is driving new demand for residential buildings, creating a promising market for modern, efficient construction solutions.
