Synopsis

This report provides a detailed look into the infrastructure sector in Canada, including analysis of the state of the current infrastructure, the regulatory and financing landscapes and the major projects in the construction pipeline.

The report covers all key infrastructure sectors: roads, railways, electricity and power, water and sewerage, communication, and airports and ports.

Summary

Canada's construction growth has been stagnant in recent years, contracting by 3.1% in 2016. Infrastructure construction has followed a similar trend, with output falling by 7.1% from 2014 to 2016. More positive growth is expected, driven by the Investing in Canada Plan, announced in the Budget 2016 and promising more than US$135 billion to be allocated to infrastructure projects over the next 12 years.

Key Highlights

The IIC is currently tracking 332 large-scale infrastructure construction projects in Canada, at all stages of development from announcement to execution. These projects have a total investment value of US$273 billion.

The total value of the infrastructure construction market reached US$50.5 billion in 2016, according to the Infrastructure Intelligence Center (IIC), down from US$56.2 billion in 2011. Behind the Investing in Canada Plan, output is projected to grow substantially to US$64.0 billion by 2021 (in nominal value terms), corresponding to a 5.3% annual average growth rate.

Goals of the Investing in Canada Plan as set forth in Budget 2016 included that establishment of the Clean Water and Wastewater Fund (CWWF) and the Public Transit Infrastructure Fund (PTIF). The CWWF provides funding of US$1.5 billion for improving water and wastewater infrastructure, with the PTIF providing US$2.6 billion in funding to improve public transit
