A pedestrian bridge is a constructed framework that spans a railway, river, or road, providing a secure passage for individuals or vehicles to cross between two distinct locations. It establishes a connection between separate areas and serves as a transitional space for people transitioning from one environment or activity to another, playing a crucial role in facilitating street life.
The main types of pedestrian bridges include truss bridges, beam bridges, suspension bridges, cable-stayed pedestrian bridges, and arch bridges. Truss bridges are structures made of interconnected elements forming a series of triangles, offering long-span structures. They can be made of materials such as steel or wood and are employed in various applications, including military operations, especially in areas where riverbanks are steep and navigation must be maintained. The construction materials for pedestrian bridges include concrete, steel, composite, and others, and they are utilized in different construction types such as new construction and reconstruction and repair. These bridges are used by various end-users, including the public, private entities, industrial sectors, transportation, and parks and recreational facilities.

The pedestrian bridge market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $90.02 billion in 2023 to $95.66 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be attributed to factors such as urbanization, population growth, infrastructure development, tourism and recreation, and safety concerns.
The pedestrian bridge market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $120.11 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to factors such as public transport integration, integration with smart city initiatives, increasing awareness of health benefits, the development of bike-friendly infrastructure, and adaptive reuse of existing structures. Major trends in the forecast period include architectural innovation, a focus on inclusive design, eco-friendly design trends, technological advancements in construction materials, integration with green spaces, and the adoption of digital twin technology.
Anticipated government investments in public infrastructure, particularly road development, are poised to drive the growth of the pedestrian bridge market. This involves allocating financial resources to various projects with specific economic, social, or developmental objectives. Notably, the Australian government has earmarked $5.3 billion for road infrastructure improvement in the 2023-24 state budget, emphasizing the development of regional road projects. As a result, such government investments contribute significantly to the expansion of the pedestrian bridge market.
The escalating issue of traffic congestion is expected to be a key driver for the growth of the pedestrian bridge market. Traffic congestion occurs when the volume of vehicles surpasses available road capacity, causing significant slowdowns. Pedestrian bridges play a crucial role in urban planning, enhancing safety, reducing congestion, and promoting sustainable transportation options. In the UK, motor vehicle traffic increased by 8.8%, reaching 323.8 billion vehicle miles between 2021 and 2022, underscoring the importance of pedestrian bridges in alleviating traffic congestion.
Technological advancements emerge as a prominent trend in the pedestrian bridge market. Major companies are dedicated to developing cutting-edge technologies to meet specific demands and maintain their market positions. An example is the Netherlands-based MX3D, which unveiled the world's first 3D-printed steel footbridge equipped with advanced sensors for real-time pedestrian traffic measurement. This innovative structure, designed using 3D printing techniques and welding robots, represents a significant stride in understanding the potential of 3D-printed steel in construction.
Strategic investments by major companies are a focal point for product development and market positioning in the pedestrian bridge sector. Company investments, involving the allocation of financial resources into various assets or projects, aim to generate returns and achieve strategic objectives. Nutifood, a Vietnam-based dairy company, invested $41.3 million in constructing a pedestrian bridge spanning 1.4 kilometers in Ho Chi Minh City. This bridge, featuring a unique design resembling a mangrove palm leaf, is expected to become a landmark symbolizing the Mekong Delta region.
In April 2022, Egis Group, a France-based engineering and consulting company, acquired Waagner-Biro AG, an Austria-based steel engineering and bridge construction company. This strategic move is aimed at expanding global reach, strengthening infrastructure and mobility consulting services, and enhancing project structuring and infrastructure engineering capabilities.
