In 2023, Italy led European road infrastructure maintenance expenditure with €6.43 billion, despite a 5.44% decrease from the previous year. Germany showed robust growth at 4.38%, spending €5.13 billion. Conversely, the Czech Republic experienced a notable 13.96% surge. Malta saw the highest growth rate at 26.98%, albeit from a low base. Many countries like Denmark and Croatia had negative year-on-year variations, indicating possible budget reallocations or financial constraints. The 5-year CAGR suggests slow to moderate growth across most countries, underpinning steady yet cautious investment in infrastructure.
Future trends to watch include digital transformation in maintenance practices, such as using smart sensors to optimize road quality and reduce maintenance costs. Additionally, sustainability and eco-friendly materials may increasingly influence expenditure, encouraging innovation in conventional practices.
