OECD – Strategic Transport Infrastructure Needs to 2030

Strategic Transport Infrastructure Needs to 2030 Main Findings, OECD Futures Project on Transcontinental Infrastructure Needs to 2030/50

  • “Major international gateway and corridor infrastructures such as ports, airports and key rail routes are crucially important to the exports and imports of all the products and resources of modern-day economies. These infrastructures will become even more important in the future. Following a brief recovery in economic growth rates at OECD and world level, global activity has slowed again and the near-term economic outlook is for quite weak growth. However, over the longer term to 2030, modest but sustained growth is expected in developed countries, and significantly higher growth in the major developing countries. International passenger and trade demand are likely to see strong long-term growth as well. As a result, rapidly increasing volumes can be expected, particularly along major trade and transport corridors between the largest regions, i.e. Asia (China, India), Europe and North America. Aviation and maritime services will carry most of the long distance traffic, with ground handling likely to remain heavily concentrated at the major international gateway airports and ports.”
