Tracking US Infrastructure Investing

Goldman Sachs analysts and D.C. teams project that while U.S. public construction represents a stable $300 billion market, recent spending has decelerated due to completed major projects and pandemic-related traffic declines creating a $30 billion revenue gap. Despite this short-term contraction driven by regional disparities and stalled public-private partnerships, the sector faces a broader $100 billion annual infrastructure deficit against historical tax revenue averages. Anticipated stimulus spending is expected to bridge the immediate fiscal hole, yet closing the long-term investment gap will require sustained revenue increases from state and local governments.
