Architectural, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) Market by Product (Software, Services), Deployment Mode (On-premises, Cloud-based), Enterprise Size (Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), Large Enterprises), End User (Construction and Architecture Companies, Education, and Others), and Region 2023-2028

The global architectural, engineering, and construction (AEC) market size reached US$ 8.7 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 15.7 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 10.18% during 2023-2028. Significant growth in the construction industry, and an increasing demand to create high-quality, high-performing building and infrastructure designs represent some of the key factors driving the market.

Architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) software provides a host of services and plans the lifecycle process of a product from presentation to the final stage of production. It is widely used in designing, visualizing, drafting, and documenting the stages of the project. AEC is also used for building information modeling and electrical and plumbing. It helps to edit several elements using smart algorithmic search and group to enhance productivity and save time. It assists in reducing overhead costs and labor expenses, thus creating faster turn-around time on projects, and gaining insights into the latest technologies. As a result, AEC is extensively used by construction firms, real estate companies, interior designers, surveyors, and mechanical and electrical piping engineers.

One of the key factors driving the market growth is the significant expansion in the residential, commercial, and construction sectors across the globe. AEC Software is widely used by designers and construction planners to manage building projects more efficiently. In line with this, with rapid urbanization, there has been an increasing demand for cost-effective and personalized designing solutions, which, in turn, is favoring the market growth. Moreover, the widespread adoption of AEC by professionals and architects to prepare a detailed layout and utilize a three-dimensional (3D) model-based approach for construction projects is acting as another growth-inducing factor. Along with this, the increasing demand to create high-quality, high-performing building and infrastructure designs with conceptual and detailed design tools is propelling the market growth. Additionally, the implementation of various government initiatives to mandate the use of AEC software for the construction of public buildings is driving the market growth. Apart from this, the widespread adoption of cloud-based AEC among both large and mid-sized enterprises, as it does not involve capital cost as well as has low maintenance requirements, is providing an impetus to the market growth. Furthermore, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality (VR), and the Internet of Things (IoT) technologies that assist in visualizing, designing, and offering realistic graphics that are accurate and easy to understand is facilitating the market growth. These technological advances help to enhance work efficiencies and save time, which is positively influencing the market growth. Other factors, including the significant growth in smart cities and extensive research and development (R&D) activities, are anticipated to drive the market growth.
