A new industry report, “Project Insight – Global Road Construction Projects (Q1 2025),” has been released by ResearchAndMarkets.com, offering a comprehensive assessment of road infrastructure developments around the world.
The report estimates the total value of global road construction projects at an impressive $3.8 trillion, highlighting a robust pipeline of developments across multiple regions.

-
South Asia follows with a project pipeline totaling $571 billion, narrowly ahead of South-East Asia at $502 billion.
