Smart Highway Construction Market Expected to Reach $1,04,777 Million by 2030-Allied Market Research

According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, “Smart Highway Construction Market by Solution, Deployment And Technology: Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2021–2030,” the global smart highway construction market size was valued at $20,172.0 million in 2020, and is projected to reach $1,04,777.0 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 17.3% from 2021 to 2030.

Smart highways consist of sensors, smart computing technologies, and smart monitoring systems, which are all integrated into a single monitoring unit in smart motorways. As a result, solutions including traffic control, communication, and transportation management are becoming more popular. Vendors of traffic technology are offering innovative modifications to minimize rising traffic, with roads being one of the most appealing areas. The countries with inefficient systems of transportation and logistics face many challenges. Thus, governments of many countries are investing in developing smart highways. As trade enables overall economic growth for any country, smart highways are gaining momentum to propel trading activities.

Moreover, rise in incentives for building smart cities propel the smart highway construction market growth. For instance, in 2019, China announced 500 smart cities pilot projects, which will be funded by the government in the region. Similarly, UAE’s goal to achieve the objective of the Smart Dubai Plan 2021 will fuels the adoption of smart highway construction in the Middle East region.  Further, increase in commercial construction activities has led to surge in demand, which is anticipated to boost demand for smart highway construction in developing countries. For instance, the commercial construction industry in India is expected to grow by nearly 4.0% from 2016 to 2022. All such instances are anticipated to contribute toward growth of the smart highway construction market.

Many players in smart highway construction market are using various strategic moves such as agreement, collaboration, partnership, and product development to strengthen their position in smart highway construction market. For instance, in August 2021, Colas agreed to purchase Destia, a key participant in Finland's road and rail industries. In Finland, the Destia Group is a prominent participant in road, rail, and energy infrastructure. Such mergers and agreements provide lucrative growth opportunities for the smart highway construction market growth.

However, owing lockdowns imposed in countries such as China, the U.S., and India due to coronavirus, numerous manufacturers in the global smart highway construction market had to halt their business production. This disruption has led to a direct impact on sales of smart highway construction equipment. However, it is expected that reopening of production facilities and introduction of coronavirus vaccines would lead to reopening of smart highway construction firms.

Key companies profiled in the smart highway construction market report include Transstroy, Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise, Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd., VINCI Construction, IBM, Heijmans N.V., ABB Ltd., Cisco Systems, Inc., Colas, Nippon Koei Co. Ltd.
