Market Driver:

Growing Construction of Megaprojects is Driving the Market

The growing construction of mega projects is boosting the market. For instance, Koch Real Estate Investments and Fontainebleau Development is planning to invest US$ 2.2 billion in constructing a Fontainebleau Las Vegas luxury resort and casino in Las Vegas, US. This mega project includes the construction of the 67-storey hotel, meeting, gaming, and entertainment complex, already started in 2007 and is expected to be completed by the end of 2023. The construction of an infrastructure combines various elements to create a structure for a specific location, which increases the demand for construction design software for making detailed designs and plans before constructing an infrastructure. Construction companies utilize design software for 3D modeling, design collaboration, schedule management, and cost estimation to improve projects' efficiency. For instance, in June 2021, according to the Stats NZ Tauranga Aotearoa, a New Zealand-based government data agency, building activities increased by 3.7% in March 2021. Further, in 2021, residential activities rose 4.3% compared to 2020. Additionally, according to the US Census Bureau, the value of construction activities increased from $1,626.4 billion in 2021 to $1,792.9 billion in 2022, with a growth rate of 10.2%. Therefore, an increasing demand for construction activities is driving the growth of the construction design software market.

Increasing demand for construction activities across the globe is propelling the construction design software market growth during the forecast period. In a global scenario, the construction industry's growth is maximum in the US, the UK, Canada, China, and India. The majority of the construction is inclined toward the technology sector and healthcare sector. The US stands at the forefront and dominates the construction ecosystem; however, Europe and Asia's growth scenario reflects tremendous growth. The availability of easy funding and the demand for advanced technology results in a rise in the number of construction projects in these regions. From the Asia perspective, China and India account for the majority share in terms of construction. China has witnessed substantial growth in the number of construction projects recently due to the urban areas and roads' growth. The rising number of construction projects in the country generates significant demand for construction design software. These factors are driving the development of the construction design software market during the forecast period.

Segmental Analysis:

Based on deployment, the global construction design software market is segmented into on-premises and cloud. The cloud segment is anticipated to expand in the near future, due to the growing adoption of cloud-based software among professionals in the construction industry. Cloud technology offers significant advantages to professionals in the construction industry for designing sketches of infrastructure. Cloud-based software provides significant benefits to the users such as data sharing, real-time collaboration, and provide access to project information from anywhere with any device via an internet connection. The need for enhanced flexibility, scalability, and remote work capabilities drives this trend. Cloud solutions eliminate the need for on-premises infrastructure, reduce upfront costs, and provide seamless software updates & maintenance.

Regional Analysis:

The market in Asia Pacific is expected to dominate in the near future owing to a growing number of construction projects. For instance, according to the Philippine Statistics Authority, the Philippines constructed a total of 41,558 buildings including residential (28,421), non-residential (8,818), additional buildings (1,356), and repair and alteration of buildings (2,963) constructed in the 1Q of 2023. Moreover, the government of the Philippines has invested US$ 1.57 billion to increase construction activities in the country to drive the market. The rising population in China and India is raising the demand for commercial and residential infrastructure. Currently, China is witnessing various construction projects. For instance, in Q1 of 2022, a project for the construction of a 56km metro railway line in Foshan, Guangdong, has started, which is expected to be completed in 2026. Similarly, the construction project of a 28km metro rail line between Dongjing Road Station and Chuansha Road Station in Shanghai has begun in Q1 2022. It is expected to be completed by the end of 2027. Thus, growing construction projects are fueling the growth of the region's construction design software market.

Countries like China, India, and Malaysia have increased their investments in their commercial sectors. For instance, according to Kotak Mahindra Bank Limited, in March 2022, the office space occupied in metro areas has doubled from 5.43 million to 11.55 million square feet, representing a tremendous pace for growth in India. The country is likely to receive an international investment of 1 billion in Grade-A office space as rental property by 2025. The growth in the commercial spaces is creating opportunities in the market during the forecast.
