Pedestrian Bridge Market Report 2026

The pedestrian bridge market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $99.67 billion in 2025 to $105.71 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growing demand for basic pedestrian connectivity infrastructure, reliance on traditional steel and concrete materials, expansion of urban development projects, increasing use of standard truss and beam bridges, development of foundational bridge engineering techniques.

The pedestrian bridge market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $137.29 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising adoption of composite and lightweight bridge materials, growth in modular and prefabricated pedestrian bridge installations, increasing focus on sustainable bridge construction, expansion of reconstruction programs for aging pedestrian bridges, development of innovative long-span and architectural bridge designs. Major trends in the forecast period include growing construction of lightweight composite pedestrian bridges, rising adoption of prefabricated and modular bridge designs, increased demand for reconstruction and repair solutions for aging bridges, expansion of aesthetic and architectural bridge designs in urban centers, higher utilization of durable concrete and steel materials for long-span bridges.

Anticipated government investments in public infrastructure, particularly road development, are poised to drive the growth of the pedestrian bridge market. This involves allocating financial resources to various projects with specific economic, social, or developmental objectives. Notably, the Australian government has earmarked $5.3 billion for road infrastructure improvement in the 2023-24 state budget, emphasizing the development of regional road projects. As a result, such government investments contribute significantly to the expansion of the pedestrian bridge market.

Leading companies in the pedestrian bridge market are focusing on investments to develop new infrastructure projects and strengthen their market presence. Company investments involve allocating financial resources into various assets or projects with the expectation of generating returns or achieving strategic objectives. For example, in December 2023, Nutifood Nutrition Food Joint Stock Company (Nutifood), a Vietnam-based dairy company, invested $41.3 million in the construction of a pedestrian bridge. The bridge will span 1.4 kilometers with a width of 15 meters, covering a total area of 37,000 square meters. It will feature a bike lane, green spaces, and a pedestrian promenade designed in the shape of a mangrove palm leaf, symbolizing the Mekong Delta region. Connecting Districts 1 and 2, the bridge over the Saigon River is expected to become a new landmark in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

In September 2023, Lindsay Goldberg LLC, a US-based private investment firm, acquired The Kleinfelder Group, Inc. for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Lindsay Goldberg aims to accelerate Kleinfelder’s growth opportunities, enhance its strategic capabilities, and strengthen its capacity to expand and improve its client and service portfolio across engineering, construction management, and professional services sectors.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs on steel, concrete components, composite materials, and structural fabrication equipment are increasing production and installation costs for pedestrian bridges, particularly affecting steel truss, cable-stayed, and suspension bridge segments across North America, Europe, and parts of Asia-Pacific. These tariffs disrupt supply chains, raise project budgets, and slow new construction and reconstruction activities in public and transportation sectors. However, they also promote domestic material sourcing, stimulate local manufacturing, and encourage innovation in alternative composite materials. Overall, tariffs add short-term cost pressures but support long-term regional bridge infrastructure resilience.

The pedestrian bridges market research report is one of a series of new reports that provides pedestrian bridges market statistics, including pedestrian bridges industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a pedestrian bridges market share, detailed pedestrian bridges market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the pedestrian bridges industry. This pedestrian bridge market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.

A pedestrian bridge is a constructed framework that spans a railway, river, or road, providing a secure passage for individuals or vehicles to cross between two distinct locations. It establishes a connection between separate areas and serves as a transitional space for people transitioning from one environment or activity to another, playing a crucial role in facilitating street life.

The main types of pedestrian bridges include truss bridges, beam bridges, suspension bridges, cable-stayed pedestrian bridges, and arch bridges. Truss bridges are structures made of interconnected elements forming a series of triangles, offering long-span structures. They can be made of materials such as steel or wood and are employed in various applications, including military operations, especially in areas where riverbanks are steep and navigation must be maintained. The construction materials for pedestrian bridges include concrete, steel, composite, and others, and they are utilized in different construction types such as new construction and reconstruction and repair. These bridges are used by various end-users, including the public, private entities, industrial sectors, transportation, and parks and recreational facilities.Asia-Pacific was the largest region in the pedestrian bridge market in 2025. The regions covered in the pedestrian bridge market report are Asia-Pacific, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, Middle East, Africa.
