Infrastructure Construction Market Report 2026

The infrastructure construction market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $3.56 trillion in 2025 to $3.7 trillion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising urbanization and population growth, increased government infrastructure spending, growing private sector investment in industrial and commercial facilities, development of transportation networks, rising adoption of conventional construction techniques.

The infrastructure construction market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.28 trillion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing adoption of smart construction technologies, integration of green building and sustainable methods, growth in modular and prefabricated infrastructure, rising use of BIM and digital planning tools, expansion of automated and robotic construction processes. Major trends in the forecast period include deployment of smart infrastructure monitoring systems, adoption of AI-driven project planning tools, integration of modular infrastructure solutions, expansion of IOT-connected utilities and transportation networks, implementation of predictive maintenance and analytics.

The increasing government investments in infrastructure development are expected to drive the growth of the infrastructure construction market in the coming years. These investments are primarily motivated by the need to upgrade and modernize aging infrastructure systems, as older facilities in developed countries require significant renovation and replacement to meet current safety standards and support economic expansion. Government funding facilitates infrastructure construction by providing financial backing, policy support, and strategic resources essential for planning, execution, and long-term maintenance. Additionally, such initiatives encourage private sector participation, fostering collaboration and innovation in infrastructure projects. For instance, in July 2025, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), a UK-based government department, total general government investment in infrastructure rose by 2.2% to $38.54 billion (£28.9 billion) at current prices in 2024 compared to 2023. Therefore, increasing government investment in infrastructure development is fueling the growth of the infrastructure construction market.

Leading companies in the infrastructure construction market are increasingly developing high-tech construction equipment to improve operational efficiency, safety, and sustainability. These advanced machines incorporate technologies such as automation, telematics, and intelligent engines to boost productivity, reduce fuel consumption, enhance safety, and enable real-time monitoring for better project management. For instance, in January 2025, CASE India, an India-based machinery manufacturing company, launched seven new construction equipment models at the Bharat Construction Equipment Expo, including two advanced vibratory compactors and five multi-functional machines. Equipped with the in-house F28 engine compliant with Bharat Stage CEV V emission norms, these machines deliver improved fuel efficiency and productivity. Integrated with the myCASE Construction smart telematics platform, they allow real-time monitoring, fuel tracking, usage analysis, and remote diagnostics to maximize performance and minimize downtime.

In November 2024, Parsons Corporation, a US-based technology and infrastructure company, acquired BCC Engineering, LLC for $230 million. This acquisition aims to strengthen Parsons’ infrastructure capabilities and expand its presence in the Southeastern United States. By integrating BCC Engineering’s expertise in transportation, civil, and structural engineering, Parsons enhances its ability to capitalize on federal infrastructure funding opportunities under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. BCC Engineering LLC is a US-based company specializing in providing infrastructure construction and engineering services.

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 are influencing the infrastructure construction market by increasing costs for imported construction materials such as steel, concrete, wood, and specialized machinery. Transportation infrastructure, energy and utilities, and water and waste management projects in regions like Asia-Pacific, North America, and Europe are most affected due to dependency on imported materials and equipment. However, tariffs are encouraging local production, regional sourcing, and adoption of smart and green construction technologies, which can improve project efficiency, reduce long-term costs, and foster innovation.

This infrastructure construction market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.

Infrastructure construction encompasses the planning, design, and development of vital physical systems and structures that enable the smooth functioning of societies and organizations. It involves the creation of transportation networks such as roads, bridges, and railways, along with essential utilities including water supply systems, sewage networks, energy grids, and communication facilities. Beyond physical construction, the process emphasizes compliance with engineering standards, sustainability, safety, and long-term durability to ensure efficient, resilient, and future-ready infrastructure.

The major types of infrastructure construction include transportation infrastructure, energy and utilities infrastructure, and water and waste management infrastructure. Transportation infrastructure refers to interconnected physical systems built and maintained to facilitate the efficient movement of people and goods. Construction relies on materials such as concrete, steel, wood, and others, and employs various methods including traditional construction, design-build, construction management at risk (CMAR), integrated project delivery (IPD), and prefabrication. The sector’s technological landscape includes conventional methods, building information modeling (BIM), smart construction systems, green building innovations, and the use of drones and robotics. These projects cater to diverse end-user sectors such as public, private, industrial, commercial, and residential domains.North America was the largest region in the infrastructure construction market in 2025.
