Mobilizing Canada’s US$4.7T infrastructure opportunity
Global Infrastructure Outlook 2025–50—Canadian insights
Where will Canada’s US$4.7 trillion infrastructure spending flow over the next 25 years? Where are we set to outpace our global peers—and where do we risk falling behind? How can governments, investors, and developers finance infrastructure built for multiple purposes and users? And where are the strongest infrastructure opportunities for Canadian pension funds and institutional investors—at home and abroad?
Canada’s infrastructure buildout is at a critical juncture. Resources, transportation, power, social infrastructure, and digital systems are all expanding at once. But scale alone won’t determine success. Boundaries between asset classes are fading. Capital pools are converging. Indigenous partnerships are becoming foundational. AI is reshaping how projects are designed, delivered, and operated. And the global race for infrastructure capital is intensifying. Yet not all infrastructure opportunities are equal. The decisions made now—about which sectors to prioritize, where to invest, and how to structure partnerships—will ripple across the economy for a generation.
This new report from PwC Canada maps where Canada’s infrastructure investment is headed through 2050. Backed by exclusive Oxford Economics forecasting, it breaks down the spending and growth rates of major sectors, as well as how Canada compares to its global peers. It also examines the financing models, partnerships, and reinvention strategies that will help determine which projects are built, and who captures the value.
