“…For example, the OECD estimates the total requirement for global infrastructure investment for transport; electricity generation, transmission and distribution; water; and telecommunications to be around USD 71 trillion by 2030 -about 3.5% of global gross domestic product (GDP) over the same period (Schieb, 2007). 2 Achieving a low-carbon energy sector globally will require an additional cumulative investment of USD 36 trillion by 2050, including USD 7.35 trillion in the power sector, of which USD 1.2 trillion would be needed in the People's Republic of China (IEA, 2012;and see Box 6.2).…”

Such levels of investment cannot be financed by traditional sources of public finance alone.…”

“…This definition emphasizes the physical characteristics of infrastructure, whereas in investment world, infrastructure is defined by its unique financial and economic characteristics. Stevens and Schieb ( 2007 ) categorize infrastructure in two major categories: economic and social, both of which are inevitable for an unhindered growth of a country. While economic infrastructure includes transport (airports, seaports, toll roads and railways), communications (broadcast facilities and cable networks) and utilities (electricity distribution and generation, gas distribution and storage, renewable energy and water distribution and treatment), social infrastructure includes healthcare, education and correctional facilities (Inderst 2010a ).…”

Infrastructure as an asset class has emerged as a new field of research stemming from the broader universe of infrastructure investment. Since the advent of the global financial crisis, research activities in this area are constantly strengthening providing the base for a budding research area. Despite much work done, infrastructure investment research with regard to an asset class is still at an early stage and scholarly understanding remains restricted and fragmented. To get a clear understanding of this rather opaque field, and for further advancement of scientific research, we conduct a systematic literature review and thematic analysis of 89 scientific contributions including 71 journal articles, 15 working papers and 3 conference papers published during 1997–2021. Based on a holistic examination of identified articles, we elucidate the current infrastructure investment landscape targeting two major aspects: First, we descriptively analyse the convergence of infrastructure from mere assets to an asset class. Second, we categorize the existing research into four different perspectives: capital market, investment performance, policy and stakeholder and conduct a thematic analysis to unveil major themes and sub-themes under each perspective. Furthermore, the study attempts to suggest various promising future research avenues to encourage further expansion of infrastructure investment as a research field.
