The infrastructure asset class is experiencing tailwinds from secular megatrends including decarbonisation and the energy transition, digitalisation and the growth in data and AI, with the energy and utilities sector alone requiring an estimated €1 to €4 trillion of infrastructure spending by 2030 to achieve a commitment to carbon neutrality by 2050.
The European market remains at the forefront of these megatrends, as the home to leading infrastructure corporate groups, such as Veolia, Vinci, Hochtief, Ferrovial according to fund manager, Access Capital Partners.
This market remains the largest globally by annual number of transactions, with mature regulatory and legal frameworks, with a strong mid-market opportunity, says Tomas Wegelius, partner infrastructure at Access Capital Partners.
“The market remains a healthy ecosystem, with around 150+ established general partners (GPs), alongside the emergence of smaller, newer, GPs each year with more specialised, niche strategies.”
