It will grow from $1.26 billion in 2024 to $1.51 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.1%. During the historic period, growth was driven by the need to modernize and maintain existing bridges, rising demand for efficient transportation networks, increasing costs of new construction, a focus on operational efficiency, and heightened attention to public safety.

The digital twin cable-stayed bridge market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.1 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.8%. In the forecast period, growth is expected to be driven by rising demand for predictive maintenance, increasing government investment in smart infrastructure, greater adoption of IoT sensors on bridges, and expansion of urban infrastructure projects. Key trends during this period include the integration of artificial intelligence with digital twins, development of immersive simulation models, use of cloud-based monitoring platforms, advancements in high-precision sensors, and progress in real-time data analytics research and development.

The growing adoption of cloud computing is expected to drive growth in the digital twin cable-stayed bridge market. Cloud computing delivers computing services such as storage, processing power, and software over the internet, providing flexible, on-demand access without local infrastructure. Its popularity is increasing due to scalability and flexibility, allowing businesses to adjust resources easily without significant upfront costs. Cloud computing supports digital twin cable-stayed bridges by enabling scalable data storage and real-time processing for complex structural simulations and monitoring. It also facilitates remote access and collaboration, improving infrastructure management and predictive maintenance. For example, Eurostat reported in December 2023 that 45.2% of enterprises purchased cloud computing services, up from 41% in 2021, highlighting the growing reliance on cloud solutions.

Rising investments in infrastructure development are also expected to propel growth in the digital twin cable-stayed bridge market. Infrastructure investments include funding for roads, bridges, power, water, and communication networks to support economic and social development. Urbanization and population growth are increasing the demand for new and upgraded infrastructure, driving the adoption of technology-integrated bridges. Digital twin cable-stayed bridges enhance project efficiency by supporting real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and improved safety and longevity. For instance, the UK Office for National Statistics reported that general government investment in infrastructure reached $17.25 billion (£13.8 billion) in 2023, a 3.9% increase from 2022, reflecting increased infrastructure spending.

In April 2025, Bentley Systems Incorporated, a US-based software company, partnered with Google LLC to integrate advanced geospatial imagery and AI into Bentley’s asset analytics platform. This collaboration aims to enhance infrastructure digital twins with improved visualization, predictive insights, and sustainable asset management. Google provides cloud, AI, and geospatial tools to support the development and monitoring of digital twin cable-stayed bridges.

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.

The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the construction sector, particularly in materials procurement and project costs. Higher duties on imported steel, aluminum, lumber, and machinery have driven up expenses for builders, contractors, and infrastructure developers, leading to increased project bids and delayed timelines. Construction equipment manufacturers face similar challenges, with tariffs on essential components and raw materials inflating production costs and squeezing margins. Additionally, retaliatory tariffs in international markets have curtailed exports of U.S.-made construction equipment and materials, further affecting profitability. The sector must now prioritize local sourcing, modular construction techniques, and supply chain diversification to control costs and ensure project viability amid ongoing trade uncertainties.

A digital twin cable-stayed bridge is a virtual model of a cable-stayed bridge that leverages real-time data, sensors, and simulation tools to monitor, analyze, and predict its structural performance. Its primary purpose is to improve bridge safety, optimize maintenance schedules, and support decision-making by providing precise insights into the bridge’s condition and behavior over time.

The main components of a digital twin cable-stayed bridge include software, hardware, and services. The software consists of applications and programs that simulate, analyze, and visualize the bridge’s digital twin, enabling engineers to track performance and make informed decisions. Deployment can be on-premises or via the cloud, and applications cover design and engineering, construction, maintenance and monitoring, asset management, and more, serving end-users such as government agencies, construction firms, engineering companies, and related sectors.
