Construction Cybersecurity Market Report 2025

The construction cybersecurity market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $5.82 billion in 2024 to $7.07 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.5%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to the increasing digital transformation of construction processes, greater reliance on cloud-based project management platforms, a rising number of cyberattacks targeting infrastructure projects, the expanded use of connected devices and smart sensors on construction sites, and the tightening of regulatory requirements for data protection.

The construction cybersecurity market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $15.22 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the global expansion of smart city initiatives, increased government investment in resilient infrastructure, the rise of cybersecurity compliance mandates in construction contracts, growing integration of 5G technology in construction operations, and escalating geopolitical tensions that amplify cyber risks. Key trends expected during this period include the development of cybersecurity solutions specifically designed for construction environments, the adoption of blockchain for secure data sharing and project verification, the integration of machine learning for advanced threat detection in construction systems, the implementation of zero-trust architecture in operational technology networks, and the advancement of secure Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystems tailored to construction sites.

The increasing frequency of ransomware and phishing attacks is expected to drive the growth of the construction cybersecurity market in the coming years. Ransomware and phishing attacks are forms of malicious cyber threats where ransomware encrypts data and demands payment for its release, while phishing deceives individuals into revealing sensitive information through fraudulent communications. These types of attacks are becoming more prevalent as cybercriminals adopt advanced social engineering tactics that exploit human behavior, making it easier to trick individuals into clicking harmful links or disclosing confidential information. Construction cybersecurity is essential in countering these threats by deploying comprehensive protective systems, monitoring digital infrastructures, and strengthening an organization’s ability to resist unauthorized access and data breaches. For example, in June 2025, Ascendant Technologies Inc., a US-based IT services firm, reported a 23% increase in cybersecurity threats targeting the construction sector over the past year. These threats - including phishing, ransomware, and data breaches - pose significant risks, with potential industry losses projected to reach $1.2 trillion by 2025. As a result, the rise in ransomware and phishing attacks is contributing to the expansion of the construction cybersecurity market.

Leading companies in the construction cybersecurity space are developing advanced technologies such as AI-enabled intelligent building platforms to improve operational oversight, security, and efficiency in modern construction environments. An AI-enabled intelligent building platform is a digital solution that utilizes artificial intelligence to integrate and manage various building systems, offering real-time analytics, remote monitoring, predictive maintenance, and enhanced cybersecurity protocols. For instance, in June 2025, Honeywell International Inc., a US-based technology and manufacturing firm, introduced Connected Solutions - an AI-powered building management platform that consolidates key building software, systems, and devices into a unified interface for optimized performance. Built on the Honeywell Forge platform, this system features a streamlined AI-enabled installation completed within hours and provides facility managers with real-time insights, remote access, maintenance alerts, advanced encryption for cybersecurity, and tools for managing energy efficiency to support decarbonization goals.

In November 2023, Rockwell Automation, a US-based provider of industrial automation and information solutions, acquired Verve Industrial Protection for $183 million. This acquisition aims to integrate Verve’s asset inventory and vulnerability management capabilities into Rockwell’s Lifecycle Services, delivering a comprehensive cybersecurity solution that enhances the protection and resilience of industrial and construction infrastructure. Verve Industrial Protection is a US-based cybersecurity company specializing in securing industrial control systems (ICS) and critical infrastructure, including those used in construction settings.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s recommendations and conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the construction sector, particularly in materials procurement and project costs. Higher duties on imported steel, aluminum, lumber, and machinery have driven up expenses for builders, contractors, and infrastructure developers, leading to increased project bids and delayed timelines. Construction equipment manufacturers face similar challenges, with tariffs on essential components and raw materials inflating production costs and squeezing margins. Additionally, retaliatory tariffs in international markets have curtailed exports of U.S.-made construction equipment and materials, further affecting profitability. The sector must now prioritize local sourcing, modular construction techniques, and supply chain diversification to control costs and ensure project viability amid ongoing trade uncertainties.

Construction cybersecurity involves a comprehensive set of strategies and technologies aimed at safeguarding digital assets, systems, and communication networks within the construction industry from cyber threats such as hacking, ransomware, data breaches, and unauthorized access. It focuses on protecting tools such as project management software, building information modeling (BIM) systems, connected construction equipment, and sensitive project data to maintain the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of information throughout the construction lifecycle.

The primary types of construction cybersecurity include network security, endpoint security, cloud security, and identity and access management. Network security is concerned with securing interconnected systems, devices, and data transmissions across construction sites and offices from unauthorized access, disruptions, and cyberattacks. Construction cybersecurity solutions encompass both products and services and are utilized by organizations of all sizes, including large enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Key applications include smart building protection, project data security, remote operations, BIM system protection, and safeguarding the industrial Internet of Things (IoT). These cybersecurity measures serve a wide range of end-users, including residential, commercial, and industrial construction sectors.
