74 supplier opportunities in the large projects
Large projects buy different goods and services all along the chain. Here we gather 74 supplier markets across 5 provinces, with their estimated annual size and their window. On 63 of them you can open the full file to see who buys, what they require, what competition we found and what can make entry harder.
The 72 figures in this table are our own calculation: 67 are estimates with their method in plain sight and 5 are our own reading. None is an official figure, and each carries its label.
No opportunity matches that search. Try the name of the service, or pick a province above.
Tell us what your company makes or does. We cross your offering with these 74 opportunities and with the projects behind them to identify where we see a fit worth analysing, who buys, when the purchase appears and what would have to be prepared.

The mining sector, measured: exporting more, employing less
The two official series from the Secretaría de Minería, point by point since November 2023. Read together they say something neither says alone: the sector is growing without hiring — the growth is bought abroad, not contracted at home. For a supplier that is not bad news: it is the definition of their market.
Every point came from opening its own edition of the monthly report and reading the sentence. ⚠ The employment series is missing 14 months that do not exist in the source — checked against the official index for all three years — and they are not interpolated; it also crosses a change of method the Secretariat itself declares from April 2026, so the 2026 points are not strictly comparable with 2023-2025.
Leave us your company website and what you do. We run a first cross-check to see whether we find a fit worth analysing and where we would start. If we do not see anything useful enough, we tell you that too.
