Market Growth Factors

Rapid growth of bridge construction is mainly due to an increase in road traffic, which requires expansion or creation of new bridges. For example, in the UK road traffic increased by 3.0% in 2023 compared to 2022 to 251.3 billion vehicle miles. The UK government is constructing multi-lane flyoves, interchanges, and elevated roads to reduce traffic congestion, and is committed to the use of durable materials and monitoring systems to ensure the safety and longevity of the bridges. Public-private partnership projects such as the I-10 Calcasieu Bridge in Louisiana show innovative bridge design and construction.

Rapid urbanization and urban population growth also drives demand for bridges. Asia-pacific mega cities need to be connected, both to relieve congestion and to ease the movement of goods and people between suburbs and cities. To meet metropolitan needs, there are efforts to invest in mass transit, increase capacity on highways, improve inter-river connections, and replace worn bridges through modular and accelerated bridge construction.

An increasing focus in the sector is green and resilient bridges, including the use of low-carbon, recyclable, and reusable materials, energy-efficient construction, and designs that withstand extreme weather, earthquakes, and flooding. Alongside materials, technologies such as self-healing concrete, fiber reinforcement, and renewable energy in maintenance and operation are becoming increasingly common. This work is intended to improve climate and sustainability outcomes.
