Infralogic is pleased to present the Transport Infrastructure Outlook 2027, in association with Ansarada. The report draws on exclusive survey data, Infralogic transaction intelligence, and the perspectives of senior practitioners working at the sharp end of transport infrastructure procurement, revealing a sector in transition on multiple fronts simultaneously.

Key findings from the report include:

• Transport infrastructure deal value hit US$317 billion in 2025, up 29% year-on-year, with roads leading the charge and ports and airports seeing the biggest gains.
• Asia-Pacific (excluding Australia and New Zealand) is seen as the clear engine of near-term growth, cited by 54% of respondents as the region set for the biggest increase in transport infrastructure investment activity over the next two years.
• Skills gaps have nearly doubled as a top concern, rising from 17% of respondents a year ago to 31%, as the sector competes for a shrinking pool of experienced talent.
• 85% of respondents now rate their transport infrastructure procurement process as efficient, up from 65% in our previous research.
• The share of EMEA respondents rating risk allocation in their most recent project as ‘very effective’ has more than doubled year-on-year, from 26% to 54%.
• Community engagement has more than doubled as an area needing improvement, from 23% to 48%, as projects increasingly face local pushback.
• ESG has fallen as a standalone risk allocation priority, dropping from the top-ranked method a year ago to just 5% today – a shift that reflects integration rather than abandonment.
• Adoption of purpose-built procurement software has nearly doubled, from 39% to 68% – yet 21% still describe their process as largely manual, a figure that climbs to 35% in the Americas.
• Confidence in data security has surged, with those reporting ‘no confidence at all’ falling to just 9% from 35% 12 months ago.
