Japan Transportation Infrastructure Construction Market Analysis

The Japan Transportation Infrastructure Construction Market size is estimated at USD 122.30 billion in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 157.58 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 5.2% during the forecast period (2025-2030).

The pandemic led the Japanese economy to contract by 29 percent on an annualized basis in the year 2020. In December 2020, real wages fell for the tenth consecutive month, reaching their worst level since 2014. Exports dropped 11.1 percent, their lowest since 2012. the central government produced stimulus packages that totaled roughly two-thirds of Japan’s economy. These covered direct funding to individuals along with initiatives such as digital infrastructure and carbon-reducing technology, both with an eye to the shape of Japan’s post-COVID economy, as well as financing and loan guarantees for small- and medium-sized enterprises impacted by the pandemic.

Japan’s roads are getting old, so much so that certain parts are dangerous. A survey by the Land, Infrastructure, Transport, and Tourism Ministry shows that 45,000 bridges and tunnels are waiting for repairs. The figure represents 60% of the structures cited nationwide for restoration. In the post-war years, Japan pressed ahead with infrastructure projects to support a growing population. Officials in Toyama Prefecture, on the Sea of Japan coast, are struggling with a budget shortfall for bridge maintenance.

Japan is not only committed to the development of hardware but also to human resources for sophisticated operation and maintenance of the infrastructure. The technological transfer is also conducted to support the local people in developing their infrastructure. As reported in May 2022, TOKYO: Japan, the United States, India, and Australia plan to invest at least USD 50 billion into infrastructure projects in the Asia-Pacific region over the next five years to assist projects in the Indo-Pacific region.

In Japan, which is prone to natural disasters, the construction sector is also of great importance for reconstruction and disaster prevention. As natural catastrophes such as floods have caused increasing damage in recent years, affecting annual budgets for reconstruction and disaster prevention, they will likely continue to create demand for infrastructure work.

As of March 2022, the Canadian Solar Infrastructure Fund was the leading infrastructure fund listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE), with a market capitalization of 47.02 billion Japanese yen. The infrastructure fund market on the Tokyo Stock Exchange was established in 2015 and is based on the regulatory framework of the real estate investment trust (REIT) market. Infrastructure funds listed on the TSE invest primarily in renewable energy facilities, such as solar farms.
