Modernizing Infrastructure Asset Management Leading to Major New Projects and Partnerships

PALM BEACH, Florida, May 24, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

As technology modernizes and advances, so does the need for bolstered infrastructure asset management. This is influencing the construction industry, as large and small firms are creating new revenue streams for various major projects as well as technologically-based services, including building security and infrastructure adaptations to smart capabilities. According to a recent report, the global infrastructure market totaled US$3.1 trillion in 2017, and is expected to reach US$4.4 trillion by 2022, growing (in nominal US$ terms) by 7.0% on an annual average basis, according to the Infrastructure Intelligence Center (InfraIC). The pace of growth in infrastructure construction output in advanced economies will average 4.8% a year on nominal US$ terms in 2018 - 2022. Growth in emerging markets will remain in excess of that in advanced economies over the forecast period, at 7.7% in nominal US$ terms.
