Institutional Buildings Market Report 2025

The institutional buildings market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $1.13 trillion in 2024 to $1.16 trillion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to government initiatives, population growth, education and healthcare needs, urbanization, cultural and social factors.

The institutional buildings market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.34 trillion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to sustainability and green building, technological integration, aging infrastructure renewal, health and wellness focus, flexible space design. Major trends in the forecast period include energy-efficient and sustainable construction, technological integration, accessibility and inclusivity, adoption of prefabrication and modular construction, biophilic design elements.

The forecast of 3.6% growth over the next five years reflects a slight reduction of 0.1% from the previous projection. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This could directly affect the US through tariffs on specialized building materials, security systems, and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment sourced from Europe and Asia, potentially slowing construction schedules and raising costs. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The anticipated growth in the institutional buildings market is attributed to the increasing government expenditure. This expenditure, denoting the capital invested by governments in various goods and services, particularly benefits government buildings such as hospitals and schools, fostering infrastructural development, including institutional buildings. Eurostat's February 2023 report highlights a significant rise in EU general government spending as a percentage of GDP, reaching 51.5% in 2021 from 2019. Notably, countries such as France, Greece, Austria, Finland, Belgium, and Italy recorded the highest levels of government spending as a percentage of GDP. Consequently, the upswing in government expenditure is a driving force for the institutional buildings market.

The growing population is expected to drive the expansion of the institutional building market in the coming years. Population refers to the total number of individuals, organisms, or residents within a given geographic area, community, or group, often measured in terms of people. The construction of institutional buildings, such as schools and healthcare facilities, plays a vital role in meeting the needs of a rising population and delivering essential services. For example, in November 2022, the United Nations (UN), a US-based intergovernmental organization, projected that the global population would reach 8.5 billion by 2030 and rise further to 9.7 billion by 2050. As a result, the growing population is fueling the demand for institutional buildings.

A key trend in the institutional buildings market is technological advancement, with major companies introducing innovative technologies to maintain their market standing. For example, in February 2022, Black Buffalo 3D Corporation launched NEXCON 3D printers, leveraging 3D printing technology to address challenges in the construction industry. The modular gantry design optimizes structure efficiency without compromising print quality, enabling on-site versatility and the production of accurate prints for diverse 3D-modeled designs.

Leading companies in the institutional buildings market are prioritizing the development of advanced modules, such as AI-enabled suites, to gain a competitive advantage. An AI-enabled suite is a set of software tools or applications integrated with artificial intelligence to improve functionality and automate processes. For instance, in June 2022, Siemens AG, a technology company based in Germany, introduced Building X, an innovative open AI-enabled suite aimed at supporting the creation of net-zero buildings. This launch highlights Siemens Smart Infrastructure's dedication to digital transformation and sustainability. The suite is fully cloud-based and interoperable, enabling users to digitize and manage building data from various sources on a unified platform. It offers a seamless experience by integrating existing software and third-party applications through vendor-neutral connectivity and open APIs.

The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a considerable impact on the construction sector, particularly in the areas of material procurement and overall project expenses. Increased duties on imported steel, aluminum, lumber, and machinery have raised costs for builders, contractors, and infrastructure developers, resulting in higher project bids and delays in execution. Manufacturers of construction equipment are also facing challenges, as tariffs on key components and raw materials are driving up production costs and compressing profit margins. Furthermore, retaliatory tariffs from major export markets have reduced demand for U.S.-made construction equipment and materials, putting additional pressure on revenue streams. In response, the sector is increasingly focusing on local sourcing, adopting modular construction methods, and diversifying supply chains to better manage rising costs and maintain project feasibility amid ongoing trade instability.
