The civil engineering market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $9.48 trillion in 2025 to $10.1 trillion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing adoption of digital civil engineering solutions, rising integration of AI in structural design, growth in IoT-enabled infrastructure monitoring, expansion of digital twin and simulation platforms, increased focus on sustainable construction practices.
The civil engineering market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $12.83 trillion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising use of AI-driven planning and design tools, deployment of smart construction management systems, expansion of predictive maintenance and monitoring, adoption of connected asset management solutions, growth in digital twin and simulation technology. Major trends in the forecast period include integration of AI-based civil engineering design tools, deployment of smart construction management systems, adoption of IOT-enabled infrastructure monitoring, expansion of digital twin applications, development of connected asset management platforms.
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.
