Infrastructure Market Overview

The global infrastructure construction market size was $4.6 trillion in 2021 and is expected to grow at an AAGR of more than 2% between 2022-2026. Growth in global infrastructure construction output gathered pace in 2021 having been impacted in 2020 by the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, but growth momentum has since been hit by soaring material costs and rising borrowing costs. Infrastructure construction has been bolstered by government efforts worldwide to invest in projects to generate economic growth momentum.

The infrastructure construction projects market research report provides insight into the project pipelines for roads, railways, power generation, water and sewerage, marine and inland water infrastructure, and airports.

Infrastructure Construction Projects Market Segmentation by Sectors

The key sectors in the global infrastructure construction market are roads, railways, electricity & power, water and sewerage, and airports and other infrastructure. Road infrastructure has the highest share in terms of value.

Railways: Regions with a relatively high population density per km of railway, such as South-East Asia, are typically investing relatively high levels (as a percentage of GDP) in railway infrastructure, while those regions that already have a high railway capacity per capita, such as Western Europe, have low investment relative to GDP. While North-East Asia, excluding China, and Western Europe recorded a relatively similar level of railway infrastructure construction output in 2021 (in nominal terms). Tokyo to Nagoya Maglev Railway Line is one of the top railway projects.

Roads: Between 2017 and 2021, the average annual road construction output as a percentage of gross domestic product was highest in Eastern Europe. It can be attributed predominantly to an increase in spending on road infrastructure supported by Chinese investment through the Belt and Road initiative and the preceding 16 + 1 grouping. Dzhubga to Sochi Road Development of Russia is one of the top road projects. 

Electricity & power: The global energy transition is gaining momentum, the upcoming UN Climate Change Conference (COP27) has highlighted growing international cooperation to reduce carbon emissions. The EU plans to invest heavily in accelerating the energy transition, the REPowerEU program plans to increase energy security, clean energy investment, and energy savings measures. Tibet Yarlung Tsangpo Hydroelectric Power Plant of China is one of the top electricity & power projects.

 Business Intelligence & Marketing Manager, SAL Heavy Lift

“COVID-19 has caused significant interference to our business and the COVID-19 intelligence from GlobalData has helped us reach better decisions around strategy. These two highlights have helped enormously to understand the projections into the future concerning our business units, we also utilise the project database to source new projects for Liebherr-Werk to use as an additional source to pitch for new business.”

 Market Analyst & Management, Liebherr-Werk

Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.

 Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

 Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

 Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

“I know that I can always rely on Globaldata’s work when I’m searching for the right consumer and market insights. I use Globaldata insights to understand the changing market & consumer landscape and help create better taste & wellbeing solutions for our customers in food, beverage and healthcare industries.

Globaldata has the right data and the reports are of very high quality compared to your competitors. Globaldata not only has overall market sizes & consumer insights on food & beverages but also provides insights at the ingredient & flavour level. That is key for B2B companies like Givaudan. This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

 Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
