The engineering services market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• Over the past few years, the engineering services market has steadily increased in size. It is forecasted to expand from $1113.21 billion in 2024 to $1151.36 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.4%.
Factors contributing to this growth during the historical period include a heightened demand for industrial robots, an escalation in industrial automation, and the application of industry 4.0.
The engineering services market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the coming years, the engineering services market is anticipated to experience a consistent expansion. It is projected to increase to a massive $1323.57 billion in 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.5%.
The projected growth during the upcoming period can be connected to numerous factors, including the surge in digitalization, the escalating demand for IoT (internet of things) solutions for smart manufacturing, the increased frequency of robotic application in the construction sector, governmental investment in the aviation sector, incessant development of smart cities, and the swift uptake of modern technologies. During this forecast period, the major trends to look out for would be increased emphasis on partnerships and collaborations, adoption of artificial intelligence, use of blockchain, investment in smart cities development, backing in low-code development, emphasis on environmentally friendly building services, and the use of industry 4.0.
The proliferation of artificial intelligence is set to spur the expansion of the engineering services market. Engineering services encompass any service or inventive work that necessitates engineering knowledge, expertise, and education, particularly in the specialized fields of mathematical, physical, and engineering sciences. The incorporation of artificial intelligence into engineering services can heighten efficiency, productivity, and profitability, alongside creating new work positions and opportunities. For example, the AI Index Report 2023 from Stanford University, a private research institution in the US, indicates that the percentage of companies implementing AI in 2022 has seen a twofold increase over the last six years, though there has been a steady fluctuation between 50% and 60% in recent years. Hence, the swelling adoption of artificial intelligence is fueling the growth of the engineering services market.
