Digital and energy show growth but water and transport less robust

Growth across categories has not been even, with digital infrastructure recording the most impressive growth, followed by energy, while transport and water are not sufficient in light of the growing needs. Growth in energy has triggered more use of coal, which has negative environmental consequences.

Developed countries lead in infrastructure

Developed countries rule across most infrastructure categories including digital infrastructure, energy supply, and electricity output per capita with the exception of liner shipping connectivity for which it falls behind some emerging markets. In addition, investment in the road network has not seen much growth.

China drives global growth in infrastructure

Developing regions, particularly Asia Pacific, have shown strong growth across most categories, but this has been primarily driven by China that is skewing the view of the developing regions, some of which are still suffering from inadequate infrastructure.

Developing countries show strong growth in mobile cellular infrastructure

Mobile cellular coverage has grown strongly in developing countries, with most countries recording over 90.0% population coverage, although other forms of infrastructure including transport, internet, energy and water, still remain inadequate.

War ravaged/politically disrupted countries suffer the most

Infrastructure in war ravaged and/or politically volatile countries, including Yemen, Syria, South Sudan and Venezuela, have suffered tremendously with most of these countries ranking at the bottom of most infrastructure categories and the state of their infrastructure is steadily deteriorating.
