Building equipment means all machinery, systems, appliances, equipment, and other equipment in a building or the infrastructure required to operate it. The main types of building equipment contractors are electrical contractors and other wiring installation contractors, plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contractors, and other building equipment contractors. Plumbing refers to any system that transports fluids for a variety of purposes. To transport fluids, plumbers employ pipes, valves, plumbing fittings, tanks, and other devices. The different service providers include large chain companies and independent contractors and are available in various modes, such as online and offline. The building equipment contractors are involved in residential construction, non-residential building construction, utility system construction, and others. The global building equipment contractors market is segmented - 1) By Type: Electrical Contractors And Other Wiring Installation Contractors, Plumbing, Heating And Air-Conditioning Contractors, Other Building Equipment Contractors 2) By Application: Residential Building Construction, Nonresidential Building Construction, Utility System Construction, Other Applications 3) By Service Provider: Large Chain Companies, Independent Contractors 4) By Mode: Online, Offline The global building equipment contractors market grew from $2,621.41 billion in 2022 to $2,824.95 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.8%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The building equipment contractors market is expected to grow to $3,722.41 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 7.1%. A rapidly growing urban population is expected to increase the demand for new residential and commercial buildings, during the forecast period. According to the UN World Urbanization Prospects report, globally, it is projected that more than two-thirds (60%) of the world's population will be living in cities by 2050. For instance, large opportunities are expected to arise in Asian countries such as Indonesia, Vietnam, and the Philippines, which are becoming increasingly popular for export-oriented manufacturing. According to the World Bank, the urban population in South Asia is expected to grow by 250 million by 2030. This rapid urbanization is expected to boost the demand for new infrastructure and drive the building equipment contractors market during the forecasted period. Major companies in the building equipment contractors market include KONE Corporation, Comfort Systems USA, Inc., Balfour Beatty plc, Fletcher Building Ltd., Vinci SA. The outbreak of COVID-19 disease (COVID-19) has acted as a massive restraint on the non-residential building construction market in 2020 as supply chains were disrupted due to trade restrictions and construction activities were affected due to lockdowns imposed by governments globally. COVID-19 is an infectious disease with flu-like symptoms including fever, cough, and difficulty breathing. The virus was first identified in Wuhan, Hubei province of the People’s Republic of China, and has spread globally, including Western Europe, North America, and Asia. Construction companies depend on the supply of raw materials and equipment from domestic and international suppliers. As many governments restricted the movement of goods across countries and locally, companies had to halt construction activities due to a lack of equipment and raw materials. The outbreak continues to have a negative impact on businesses throughout 2020 and into 2021. However, it is expected that the non-residential building construction market will recover from the shock over the forecast period as it is a "black swan" event and not related to ongoing or fundamental weaknesses in the market or the global economy. Smart wearables are paving their way into the building equipment contractors market and are being used by supervisors for monitoring operations. Wearable technology in the construction industry will not only have value for workers but can also enhance a company’s ability to manage safety. Wearable devices generally include a computer or electronic device worn on the body, personal protective equipment, or clothing. Wearables like the smart cap, badges, and biosensors evaluate real-time data like location, impact, motion, temperature, and vital signs. Microsoft's device, HoloLens, allows users to use augmented or mixed reality on the job site. Users can overlay 3D building plans over a site. The plans are to scale so project managers can actually see how things will work and fit on the site, reducing the rework requirement. For instance, in 2020, the national framework organization Pagabo, with the goal of improving site management and promoting well-being in the construction industry, teamed up with health tech start-up Moodbeam to produce Moodbeam One, a wearable gadget that allows construction workers to collect their mood in real-time.

Structural insulated panels are high-performance insulating panels used to construct walls, ceilings, and floors for residential and light commercial construction. They consist of a super-strong construction panel having an insulating foam between two structural facings. Structural insulated panels have superior strength against natural disasters, high energy efficiency, and are cost-effective for construction purposes. The main structural insulated panels products include EPS (expanded polystyrene) panels, rigid polyurethane (PUR) and rigid polyisocyanurate (PIR) panels, glass wool panels, and other products. EPS (expanded polystyrene) panel refers to a white foam plastic material produced from solid beads of polystyrene. It is used in insulated panel systems for use in floors, walls and roofs of domestic as well as commercial buildings. The structural insulated panels facing materials include oriented strand board (OSB) structural insulated panels and magnesium oxide (MgO) board structural insulated panels. The different applications of structural insulated panels are for walls and floors, roofs and cold storage which are used by residential and non-residential end-users.
