Briefly describe the characteristics of the current international project contracting market.

Briefly describe the characteristics of the current international project contracting market: fierce competition and declining profits. The contractor's dependence on the domestic market has been strengthened. Market protection measures are increasingly strengthened.

First, with the growth of global population and the acceleration of urbanization, the world needs to create 300 million new jobs in the next 20 years, and only infrastructure investment and related industries can create so many jobs. "The World Bank pointed out that" infrastructure is the' missing link' to achieve the UN Millennium Development Goals such as poverty reduction, medical care and education, and has been formally incorporated into the sustainable development goal system issued by the UN in 20 15. To achieve export-driven growth to higher value-added services and consumption-driven growth, infrastructure must go first. "

Second, the infrastructure gap brought by the urbanization process in developing countries: "At present, there are 6.5438+0.5 million people flooding into cities every day in the world, which means that the global urban population is equivalent to the whole of Los Angeles every month, which is particularly obvious in developing countries. It is estimated that at least 2 billion people will move into cities by 2030. "

Third, the demand for global infrastructure interconnection: "At present, the total annual investment in urban facilities and fixed assets such as roads, pipelines and ports, bridges and tunnels, telecommunications facilities and communication cables, power grids and sewage treatment facilities is 3 trillion US dollars, far exceeding the annual defense expenditure of 1.75 trillion US dollars, and the gap between them is still widening." Today, there are about 64 million kilometers of expressways, 2 million kilometers of oil and gas pipelines,10.2 million kilometers of railways and 750,000 kilometers of submarine cables in the entire planning map of infrastructure, connecting the major population centers and economic centers in the world. It is estimated that the infrastructure to be built in the next 40 years will exceed the sum of the previous 4000 years. The world is no longer a jigsaw puzzle between countries, but a circuit diagram connected by infrastructure. The world is more and more like the internet. "(It is also the long-term demand for infrastructure in the primary stage of the Internet of Things. )

Fourth, the demand of world commercial trade and population mobility. "1960, only 73 million people in the world live in other countries; Today, the figure is 300 million, and it has been growing rapidly since the financial crisis. The United States is the largest immigrant country and an important country of population outflow. Now there are more than 6 million Americans living overseas, which is the highest number on record. According to relevant surveys, among young people aged 8-24 in the United States/kloc-0, the proportion of planned immigrants has increased from the previous 12% to the present 40%. More importantly, almost all people in the world will be concentrated around infrastructure corridors and supply chains, whether real or virtual. "
