The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the rising importance of data analytics and predictive modeling, expanding applications of damage evaluation beyond traditional insurance, increasing demand for climate resilience and mitigation planning, growing use in insurance and legal sectors, and the continuing rise in frequency and severity of natural disasters. Major trends in the forecast period include advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, development of automated and scalable workflow technologies, improvements in drone technology and data capture methods, integration of blockchain for enhanced security and transparency, and the adoption of augmented reality (AR) for remote inspection and assistance.

Rising natural disasters are expected to drive growth in the damage evaluation service market. Natural disasters, including earthquakes, floods, and hurricanes, are increasing in frequency and severity due to climate change, which intensifies extreme weather events. Damage evaluation services support disaster management by providing rapid, accurate assessments of affected properties, reducing recovery delays, and improving resource allocation. For example, in December 2023, the Health Security Agency reported that the number of people in the UK at risk of flooding is projected to increase by 61% by 2050 and 118% by 2080.

Technological advancements, particularly AI, are enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of damage evaluations. AI-powered property damage assessment solutions analyze images, videos, and data inputs to quickly determine the extent of damage, enabling faster recovery support. For instance, in January 2022, Tractable Ltd. launched AI Property, an AI solution that allows homeowners to submit photos of damaged buildings for immediate assessment, reducing evaluation timelines from months to potentially just one day.

The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the professional services sector, particularly in legal, consulting, architectural, and engineering domains. Higher costs for imported technology, software licenses, office equipment, and digital infrastructure have raised operational expenses for firms reliant on global tools and platforms. International consulting projects are facing delays or cost overruns due to increased travel expenses and restricted access to foreign-sourced data and tools. Additionally, clients in manufacturing, construction, and logistics, heavily affected by tariffs are cutting back on outsourced services, squeezing demand for professional expertise. As a result, service providers are reevaluating pricing structures, expanding domestic supplier relationships, and investing in AI-driven solutions to sustain profitability and client engagement amid economic uncertainty.
