The anticipated growth during this forecast period can be ascribed to factors like the integration of e-commerce and omnichannel retail, acceptance of sustainable building procedures and green certification, adjustment to fluctuating work patterns, mixed-use development and urban renewal, as well as health and safety concerns in architectural design. Key trends during this period include a focus on health and safety protocols, rising importance of mixed-use projects, addition of biophilic design features, emphasis on contactless and cashless business, and design influenced by e-commerce trends.
The considerable increase in the retail area is poised to push the evolution of the retail and other commercial structures market in the future. Commercial retail space pertains to areas used for selling merchandise or providing services to consumers, such as shopping plazas, strip malls and stand-alone shops. The growth of major retail organizations like Amazon, Walmart, and Target have instigated high growth in the retail domain. This upturn is predicted to fuel the new construction of retail outlets and similar structures. For example, in July 2022, the Wall Street Journal, a US-based international daily that focuses on business and economy, reported that Amazon expanded its warehouse space substantially to fulfill customer demand. The warehouse space surged from 165 million square feet to a staggering 379 million square feet. Additionally, in 2022, WeWork India, a space-as-a-service platform based in India, leased 3.62 lakh square feet of office space as a part of its plan to expand its flexible workspace. Consequently, the remarkable increase in retail area is boosting the development of the retail and other commercial buildings market.
