Road Maintenance Market size is expected to witness over 5% CAGR from 2023 to 2032, attributed to the increasing investments for the improvement of the aging road infrastructure to ensure safety and functionality. The surge in potholes, cracks, and reduced road quality due to the rising deterioration of pavement over time has stirred the higher risk of accidents and disruptions. Thus, several governments and transportation authorities are increasingly investing in road maintenance for extending the life of existing infrastructure and enhancing overall road safety.
Furthermore, public and private organizations in developing countries are focusing on the construction of resilient infrastructure to improve the economic potential through better connectivity and commerce, further promoting the industry growth. For instance, in June 2023, the Government of Nepal and the World Bank jointly announced $275 million project to expedite the regional transport and trade connectivity (ACCESS) project in Nepal to significantly boost trade and connectivity by minimizing trade and transport costs.
The overall road maintenance market is categorized in terms of road type, service type, and region.
Based on road type, the urban road maintenance market is projected to record substantial growth between 2023 and 2032. The rapid urbanization and population in the urban areas has led to increased traffic on the roads, necessitating the ongoing maintenance and improvement activities. Moreover, urban planners are also emphasizing sustainable transportation solutions, including well-maintained roads and public transit systems as cities are increasingly prioritizing infrastructure development and traffic management.
With respect to service type, the emergency road maintenance market amassed considerable revenue in 2022 and is expected to gain momentum through 2032. This is owing to the escalating need to keep roadways safe and operational whilst addressing sudden issues, such as potholes, landslides, or storm damage. With increasing climate variability, such emergencies are becoming more frequent. To that end, government agencies and municipalities are intensifying their focus on rapid response to ensure road safety. Moreover, the need to reduce traffic disruptions and accidents is also boosting the demand for emergency road maintenance services.
Regionally, the road maintenance market in Europe is poised to witness steady growth from 2023 to 2032. The extensive and well-developed road network is necessitating the ongoing maintenance activities, including resurfacing, repair, and infrastructure upgrades. The European Union's commitment to sustainable transportation solutions is encouraging investments in road maintenance to enhance safety, reduce emissions, and improve connectivity. Furthermore, the growth of the logistics and transportation sector is adding to the rising demand for well-maintained roadways, fueling high investments for market growth. For instance, in June 2023, The EU Commission picked 107 transport and infrastructure projects to receive approximately €6 billion in funding from the CEF (connecting Europe facility) to support strategic investment in transport infrastructure.
