Mechanical Electrical and Plumbing Software Global Market Report 2024

The mechanical electrical and plumbing software market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $4.56 billion in 2023 to $5.06 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.8%. The historic growth of MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) software can be attributed to rising demand for energy-efficient buildings, adherence to regulatory standards, escalating urbanization trends, a global surge in construction activities, enhanced project delivery efficiency, and the growing complexity of building designs.

The mechanical electrical and plumbing software market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.56 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.6%. The forecasted growth of MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) software can be attributed to the integration of renewable energy sources, a heightened emphasis on maintenance and facility management, increased global investments in infrastructure, a commitment to sustainable design and certification practices, and the implementation of data security and privacy measures. Key trends anticipated in the forecast period include the integration of Building Information Modeling (BIM), the adoption of cloud-based solutions, enhanced mobile accessibility and field integration, integration with Internet of Things (IoT) technologies for smart buildings, and an increased focus on collaboration and communication within the industry.

The surge in demand for energy-efficient buildings is anticipated to drive the expansion of the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) software market. Energy-efficient buildings are structures strategically designed to curtail energy usage and optimize resource efficiency while ensuring occupant comfort and functionality. MEP software solutions play a crucial role in enhancing operational efficiency, conducting lifecycle analysis, and facilitating green building certifications. For instance, the US Green Building Council reported a notable increase in LEED-certified projects in the US in 2022, with over 5,000 additional projects attaining certification and 8,800 new project registrations. Similarly, China witnessed approvals for 1,077 LEED projects in 2021, encompassing more than 152 million square feet of certified space. Hence, the upsurge in energy-efficient building demand is propelling the growth of the MEP software market.

The burgeoning residential sector is poised to be a significant driver in advancing the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) software market. Residential sectors encompass various types of housing, including single-family units, multi-family residences, and mobile homes, and form a crucial aspect of land utilization. Notably, in August 2023, the United States Census Bureau recorded the approval of 1,543,000 privately-owned dwelling units through building permits, marking a 2.7% decline from August 2022 but a 6.9% increase from the revised July rate of 1,443,000. This illustrates the consistent growth and demand within the residential construction domain. Consequently, the expansion of the residential sector serves as a key driver stimulating growth within the MEP software market.

The mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) software market encounters a significant obstacle posed by the considerable implementation costs associated with these software solutions. These costs are variable, contingent upon the company's size and its specific software requirements, often entailing higher upfront fees and recurring monthly payments for enterprise-level software. As indicated by Schnackel Engineers Inc., MEP systems commonly contribute a substantial share, often surpassing 40%, of construction costs, exerting a notable impact on the overall project budget. Such financial hurdles can dissuade prospective users and organizations from embracing MEP software solutions. Consequently, the significant implementation costs pose a hindrance to the expansion of the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing software market.

Key players in the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) software market are embracing innovative technologies such as digital MEP workflows to deliver dependable customer service. Digital MEP workflows utilize digital tools and methodologies within MEP design, automating tasks, enhancing communication, and facilitating information sharing among project teams. For example, in September 2021, Trimble Inc., a prominent provider of software, hardware, and services, introduced SysQue v8.3, an intricately designed digital tool aimed at streamlining modeling workflows and digitizing MEP processes from design to the shop floor. Its functionality includes swift configuration of wall assemblies, saving configurations as business standards, and precise integration within models to bolster electrical efficiency and productivity. The incorporation of the PypeServer interface further enables the creation of pipe CAM files directly from the Revit model, accentuating its versatility and utility in MEP projects.

In November 2022, NV5 Global Inc., a prominent American firm specializing in conformity assessment, technology, and consultancy solutions, completed the acquisition of Intrepid Engineering LLC. The specific financial details of this acquisition were not disclosed. NV5's strategic aim behind this acquisition is to fortify its extensive customer portfolio, reinforce its technological proficiency, and foster growth across the Southwest Region. Intrepid Engineering LLC, the acquired company, is known for its offerings in mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) software solutions within the United States.
