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 are roadways that have sensors and IoT technology installed to make driving safer and more environmentally friendly.
Many governments across the globe are investing in smart motorways to provide drivers with real-time information on road conditions and other traffic information. Smart highways are beneficial for hazardous and hilly areas since they provide warnings about oncoming traffic and different landslides, making driving safer. Smart roads also create energy that may be used to charge electric lighting on the side of the road and give power to moving electric vehicles. Although the population and number of automobiles on the road are expected to grow, the quantity of land accessible for road construction is limited. As a result, all countries are concerned about lack of accessible, safe, pollution-free, and congested modes of transportation. Such factors drives the smart highway construction market growth. Industries are developing new technologies to address them in current and future years. One of the primary driving reasons behind the highway industry is the development of several smart city initiatives in various places.
Novel coronavirus has rapidly spread across various countries and regions, causing enormous impact on lives of people and overall community. Originating as a crisis to human health, it now poses significant threat to worldwide trade, economy, and finance. Due to continuous lockdown in key global countries, the COVID-19 pandemic has halted production of many items in the smart highway construction business. The players in smart highway construction market can afford a complete lockdown only for a limited period, after which they would have to alter their investment plans. Furthermore, number of COVID-19 cases are expected to reduce in the near term as vaccine for COVID-19 has been introduced in the market. This is further expected to lead to re-initiation of smart highway construction companies at their full-scale capacities, which would aid the smart highway construction market to recover by the start of 2022. After COVID-19 infection cases start to decline, equipment and machinery producers must focus on protecting their staff, operations, and supply networks to respond to urgent emergencies and establish new methods of working.
By Solution
