Infrastructure Insight: Australia
Powered by
All the vital news, analysis, and commentary curated by our industry experts.
After years of under-investment, there are now huge infrastructure upgrades in roads, rail, and other infrastructure underway, and more in the pipeline over the coming years. The total value of the infrastructure construction market reached AUD55.0 billion (US$42.0 billion) in 2017, according to the Infrastructure Intelligence Center (IIC), significantly down from AUD63.4 billion (US$48.6 billion) in 2012. However, output is projected to grow to AUD76.91 billion (US$59.0 billion) by 2022 (in nominal value terms). Market expansion over the forecast period will be driven by recovery in investment in infrastructure construction activity and improvements in the regional economy. The government’s plan to develop the country’s transport network is expected to provide positive prospects for the market over the forecast period.
