The rising government expenditure is anticipated to support the growth of the institutional buildings market moving forward. Government expenditure refers to the funds allocated by the government for various goods and services. Government facilities such as public hospitals and public schools benefit from increased government spending, contributing to the development of essential infrastructure, including institutional buildings. For example, in August 2024, the Office for National Statistics, a government agency in the UK, reported that the central government’s total expenditure in July 2024 reached $136.4 billion (£107.4 billion), which is $4.45 billion (£3.5 billion) higher than in July 2023. This $4.45 billion (£3.5 billion) increase represents the overall rise in spending. Therefore, growing government expenditure is fueling the expansion of the institutional buildings market.

Major companies active in the institutional building market are concentrating on creating advanced innovations such as energy-efficient ceiling panels featuring phase change material (PCM) technology to boost operational efficiency, lower energy use, enhance indoor environmental quality (IEQ), and deliver adaptable acoustic solutions for educational and healthcare environments. Energy-efficient ceiling panels with phase change material refer to construction products that incorporate phase change technology into mineral fiber or similar substrates to passively regulate indoor temperatures, decreasing heating and cooling needs while preserving thermal comfort and sound performance. For example, in November 2024, Armstrong World Industries, a U.S.-based manufacturer of ceiling and wall solutions, introduced the School Zone Fine Fissured Templok energy-saving ceiling panels as part of its expanded Templok product line. These panels blend phase change material technology with Total Acoustics performance, offering up to 15% energy reduction, improved speech privacy, surfaces resistant to mold and mildew, and compatibility with flexible floor plans, reflecting a contemporary approach to developing sustainable, comfortable, and high-performance institutional building environments.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs are influencing the institutional buildings market by driving up the cost of imported construction materials, building technologies, and structural components, resulting in higher project budgets and slower execution across new construction and renovation segments. Non-residential categories such as educational, healthcare, and government facilities are most affected in regions heavily dependent on imported steel, HVAC systems, and smart building hardware. Nonetheless, tariffs are fostering increased domestic sourcing, encouraging regional manufacturers, and promoting long-term resilience by reducing reliance on global supply chains.
