The global demand for infrastructure has never been greater. By 2040, the world faces a $15 trillion gap between projected investment and the amount needed to provide adequate infrastructure. Emerging markets alone will account for nearly two-thirds of this need, as urbanization accelerates and populations grow. However, challenges persist—global infrastructure M&A deal counts dropped 21% in 2023, and average deal sizes declined by 16%, reflecting the impact of volatile financing conditions and geopolitical uncertainty. Despite these hurdles, the need for sustainable, resilient infrastructure continues to drive opportunities for companies and investors alike.

Infrastructure development requires more than capital—it demands precision in execution. Companies must navigate fluctuating material costs, supply chain disruptions, and increasingly stringent environmental regulations. In emerging markets, additional challenges include weak public-private partnership (PPP) frameworks, inconsistent power supplies, and complex regulatory environments. These issues can delay projects, increase costs, and deter investors. Yet with the right technical expertise and strategic guidance, these obstacles can be transformed into opportunities.
