      KPMG Global Infrastructure and Transport CEO Outlook

      Key findings



      Mergers and acquisitions

      59% expect M&A with ‘moderate impact’, up from 37% in 2024

      AI adoption

      Biggest obstacles to AI adoption are lack of regulation (60%) and ethical challenges (58%)

      Supply chains

      The number one barrier to net zero is the complexity of decarbonising supply chains (32%)


      CEOs are optimistic about growth and AI's potential, despite inflation, supply chain issues, and workforce skills gaps. To seize opportunities in a bright future, companies must build robust technological capabilities, enhance resilience, and deepen regulatory understanding.
