APEC 2024: Key Sectors for Investment in Peru

Peru is emerging as a promising destination for investment in key sectors such as renewable energy, diverse manufacturing, and tourism. With a focus on sustainability and innovation, the country is attracting investors from around the world who are eager to seize these opportunities.

In the renewable energy sector, Peru is positioning itself as a rising leader, particularly in the development of green hydrogen. The country offers optimal conditions for the production and export of this clean, sustainable energy.

The climatic conditions and solar radiation along Peru’s southern coast, especially in the regions of Arequipa, Tacna, and Moquegua, are highly conducive to solar and wind energy production. With increasing flows of private investment, these sources could generate even larger amounts of green hydrogen in the future.

Peru's manufacturing sector also presents significant investment opportunities. The country has a diversified industrial base, including textiles, agribusiness, and various manufacturing industries. Continuous improvements in product quality and the adoption of advanced technologies are driving growth and competitiveness in the sector. These innovations are positioning Peru as a key player in the international market.

Tourism is another key sector with substantial investment potential. Over the past 21 years, 46 investment projects in hospitality and tourism have been developed, amounting to a total of USD 2.351 billion. While 53% of these projects have been concentrated in Lima, efforts are being made to expand investment opportunities to other regions of the country. Connectivity projects such as the Port of Chancay and the expansion of Jorge Chávez International Airport are improving infrastructure and facilitating access to emerging tourist destinations.

The combination of natural resources, strategic location, and a favorable investment environment makes Peru an attractive destination for investments in renewable energy, diverse manufacturing, and tourism. With policies that promote sustainability and innovation, Peru is well-prepared to welcome investors seeking growth opportunities in key sectors of the global economy.
