As part of its Digital Age Networking (DAN) plan to simplify digital transition of corporate organizations in key vertical areas, corporations continue to expand its portfolio.
In addition, the rapidly aging transport infrastructure also drives the market globally. For instance, bridges and roads collapse due to a sharp increase in heavy vehicular traffic. The old, urban transport systems can no longer cope with the present requirements and natural catastrophes such as earthquakes and landslides that are also alding in infrastructure destruction. To address the problems & requirements, governments and investors are investing large amounts of money in infrastructure projects.
At present, the market is trying to adopt new technologies. Rapid population growth has led to growth in traffic and is creating robust demand for additional transportation infrastructure. However, many nations lack sufficient capital or space to build such roads and railways. Rapid urbanization along with the changing climate has brought about critical concerns and increased R&D to rethink new transportation systems. This has encouraged new technological improvements such as Maglev trains, intelligent transportation systems (ITS), autonomous vehicles, hyperloop, infrastructure inspection robots, and smart cars.
Global concerns such as global warming, increasing fuel prices, and shrinking resources have led to the emergence of green transport in several countries. In addition, major economies are also encouraging the adoption of green transport infrastructure such as electric vehicles (EVs), electric motorcycles, rail transport, and mass rapid transit (MRT). Hence, growing technological innovations and cross-border collaborations drive investments in various transport subsectors, especially in roads and railways. The growing demand for efficient infrastructure is expected to propel the growth of the global transportation infrastructure market.
