In 2023, the share of road infrastructure maintenance in total road infrastructure spending in Canada was approximately 36%. From 2024 onwards, a gradual decline is forecasted, with the share decreasing from 35.8% in 2024 to 34.51% in 2028. This suggests a steady decrease in the proportion of spending allocated to maintenance year-over-year. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicates a gradual downward trend over the five-year period.
Future trends to watch for include fluctuations in government policies, technological advancements in road construction, economic conditions affecting budget allocations, and climate change impacts which could alter maintenance needs and priorities.
