As 2024 winds down, the global infrastructure investment scene is a mixed bag. Deal activity is up from last year but hasn't hit the anticipated highs. Preqin's Q3 report highlights a dip in unlisted infrastructure fundraising, with only US$15.6 billion raised, a sharp drop from Q1's US$45.2 billion. Year-to-date (to early November ‘24), US$82.9 billion has been raised, reflecting longer market times for GPs amid uncertain deal processes and valuation gaps.
However, there's a hefty US$336 billion in dry powder seeking opportunities. Key investment drivers include decarbonisation and digitisation, with a focus on energy transition and data centre growth.
