Building Preservation Services Market Report 2025

The building preservation services market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $45.22 billion in 2024 to $48.47 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2%. The growth observed during the historic period can be attributed to the increasing restoration of post-war buildings, heightened concerns about climate-related damage to structures, a surge in tourism promoting heritage site upkeep, greater privatization in heritage property management, and more frequent retrofitting of old buildings for contemporary use.

The building preservation services market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $63.13 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%. The growth in the forecast period is expected to be driven by rising demand for green building certifications, increased investment in smart heritage infrastructure, expanded public-private partnerships for preservation, stronger emphasis on climate-resilient restoration, and broader adoption of sustainable building materials. Key trends anticipated during this period include advancements in digital preservation technologies, development of eco-friendly restoration materials, innovations in 3D scanning for structural analysis, progress in non-invasive inspection techniques, and the emergence of AI-based heritage monitoring systems.

The increasing focus on sustainable and eco-friendly construction practices is expected to drive the growth of the building preservation services market in the future. Sustainable and eco-friendly construction involves building methods that reduce environmental impact by efficiently using resources and lowering emissions throughout a structure’s lifecycle. The rise in such construction practices is largely due to growing regulatory pressure to cut carbon emissions, as governments enforce environmental standards that encourage builders to adopt greener methods to comply. Building preservation services contribute to sustainable and eco-friendly construction by prolonging the lifespan of existing buildings, thereby reducing the need for new materials and minimizing the environmental impact associated with construction. For example, in November 2023, the Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA), a non-profit organization based in Australia, reported that total Green Star certifications in the 2022-23 financial year increased by more than 80% compared to the previous year, with over 800 certifications granted nationwide. Consequently, the rising emphasis on sustainable and eco-friendly construction practices is fueling the growth of the building preservation services market.

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 services sector, particularly in business services, IT, and professional consulting operations. Higher costs for imported technology, office equipment, and essential digital infrastructure have raised operating expenses for service providers, forcing them to either pass on costs to clients or absorb margin pressures. Outsourcing firms and IT service companies are also facing challenges due to increased costs of hardware components and delayed global supply chains, affecting project delivery timelines and profitability. Additionally, retaliatory tariffs have dampened demand for U.S.-based professional services in key international markets, leading to a slowdown in export-driven revenue streams. The sector must now prioritize digital transformation, cost optimization, and expanding domestic client bases to sustain growth and maintain competitiveness amid ongoing trade uncertainty.
