Construction Accounting Software Global Market Report 2024

The construction accounting software market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.58 billion in 2023 to $1.68 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. The growth in the historical period can be ascribed to the prevalence of manual accounting processes in the construction industry, the expansion of the construction sector and infrastructure projects, the growing complexity of construction project finances, the integration of technology in construction management, and the demand for precise cost estimation and project budgeting.

The construction accounting software market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.08 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to an increased demand for real-time financial reporting, the acknowledgment of the significance of project profitability, challenges in managing subcontractor and vendor payments, the adoption of cloud-based construction accounting solutions, a growing demand for mobile construction accounting apps, an emphasis on data security and compliance features, the development of industry-specific features in accounting software, and the rise of subscription-based and software-as-a-service (SaaS) models. Major trends in the forecast period include the integration of artificial intelligence for automation, collaboration between accounting software providers and construction firms, technological advancements in data analytics and business intelligence, the adoption of blockchain for secure and transparent transactions, and the integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) for real-time project data.

The growth in the construction industry is expected to drive the expansion of the construction accounting software market in the future. Construction involves the creation of structures such as homes, factories, highways, and bridges. Construction accounting software empowers construction firms to monitor their costs and income in real-time, offering valuable insights into their financial performance. It enables the early identification of potential challenges, allowing for timely rectification before they escalate into significant issues. Additionally, it facilitates quick and straightforward invoicing and payment processing, saving time and effort. For example, in October 2021, a report by Oxford Economics, a UK-based economic information services company, revealed that global construction output was $10.7 trillion in 2020. It is projected to grow by 42%, or $4.5 trillion, from 2020 to 2030, reaching USD 15.2 trillion. Hence, the expanding construction industry is a driving force behind the growth of the construction accounting software market.

The transition to remote and flexible work is also expected to contribute to the growth of the construction accounting software market. Remote and flexible work refers to employment arrangements that allow individuals to perform their job duties from locations outside the traditional office setting. Construction accounting software facilitates seamless financial management and reporting for remote and flexible work, ensuring real-time collaboration and accessibility for construction projects. For instance, a survey conducted by FlexJobs' Career Pulse in February 2022, involving 2100 participants, indicated that 65% of respondents strongly preferred full-time remote work, while 32% desired a hybrid work arrangement. This high percentage of 97% signifies that a significant majority of workers wish to have the option of working remotely to some extent. Therefore, the shift toward remote and flexible work is a driving factor for the construction accounting software market.
