The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing focus on green construction materials, increasing government and private investments in construction, rising buying power and consumer confidence, growing infrastructure, rising urbanization, and the construction industry. Major trends in the forecast period include 3D printing, augmented and virtual reality, kinetic energy solutions, technological advancements, smart infrastructure, and IoT integration.

The growth of the civil engineering market is anticipated to be driven by increasing construction activities. These activities encompass the physical development of buildings, infrastructure, and other structures. The rise in construction and real estate projects is attributed to rapid urbanization, infrastructure development, and an emphasis on efficiency and precision in building endeavors. Civil engineering plays a crucial role in these activities by focusing on design and planning, ensuring structural integrity, maintaining infrastructure, fostering collaboration, and delivering innovative solutions. For example, the Australian Bureau of Statistics reported in March 2024 that there were 30,992 new private house dwellings, a 3.7% increase from December 2023 and a 14.6% rise from March 2023. Additionally, the number of completed private new residential buildings rose to 14,844 dwellings, marking a 5.6% increase compared to December 2023. This growing volume of construction activities is thus expected to propel the civil engineering market.

Leading companies in the civil engineering market are concentrating on developing wireless sensor networks to improve real-time monitoring and maintenance of infrastructure, enhance safety, and optimize resource management by providing detailed and continuous data on structural conditions, environmental factors, and operational performance. Wireless sensor networks facilitate ongoing data collection on structural conditions, environmental factors, and load stresses, enabling proactive management and early detection of potential issues. For instance, in November 2023, Worldsensing, a Spain-based software company, introduced a new wireless sensor, the vibration meter, designed to enhance vibration monitoring in civil engineering projects. This vibration meter features a high-energy density, user-replaceable battery with a lifespan of up to two years, depending on usage. It operates effectively in temperatures ranging from -40 °C to 80 °C and can communicate over distances of up to 15 km using Worldsensing's Long Range (LoRa) technology.
