It will grow to $8 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 40.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to smart city development, sustainable building mandates, AI-powered design tools, cloud collaboration growth, data-driven urban planning. Major trends in the forecast period include algorithmic design automation, AI-assisted concept generation, performance-driven design optimization, cloud-based design collaboration, sustainable design simulation.

The growing demand for infrastructure development projects is expected to drive the expansion of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in the architecture market in the coming years. Infrastructure development projects involve large-scale efforts to construct, enhance, or expand the core systems and structures required for the functioning and advancement of societies or organizations. Economic growth supports infrastructure development by increasing the need for essential projects such as transportation networks and utilities, which in turn stimulates additional economic activity and investment. Generative AI enhances infrastructure projects by simplifying design processes, improving efficiency, and reducing overall costs. It allows architects and planners to quickly produce innovative design options, assess multiple scenarios, and optimize project planning, thereby increasing demand for infrastructure development initiatives. For example, in July 2025, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), a UK-based government department, infrastructure expenditure continued to increase, with total government investment rising by 2.2% to £28.9 billion (approximately US$36.9 billion) in 2024, while market-sector investment grew by £2.9 billion (approximately US$3.7 billion) compared with 2023. Therefore, the rising demand for infrastructure development projects is fueling the growth of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in architecture.

Leading companies in the generative artificial intelligence in architecture market are focusing on creating subscription-based design platforms to explore complex design possibilities and develop innovative architectural solutions. A subscription-based design platform is a software service that provides users with continuous access to design tools and resources through regular payments, typically on a monthly or annual basis. This approach eliminates large upfront costs and often includes customer support and regular updates. For example, in January 2024, Poliark, a US-based AI company, introduced Kend, a cloud-based application designed to facilitate real-time collaboration among team members and stakeholders. This platform allows simultaneous work on the same model, reducing project delays and errors. Kend enables users to generate 3D models and floor plans from text prompts, producing results in approximately 30 seconds. It also supports interactive design changes and integrates existing buildings into new projects, helping firms modernize or expand designs. Additionally, Kend includes a catalog of 500 materials with embedded carbon data, assisting users in forecasting and managing carbon emissions, which supports adherence to new carbon tracking regulations in construction.

In April 2024, One Click LCA, a Finland-based construction software company, acquired Buildrz for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition is intended to strengthen One Click LCA's role as a leading sustainability software platform for the construction and manufacturing industries. Buildrz, a France-based company, specializes in generative artificial intelligence (AI) technology for developing 3D models and designs for architects.
