Global AEC Market Revenue Estimated Around USD 29.08 Billion By 2034

According to the report, the global AEC market size was valued at approximately USD 10.84 billion in 2024 and is predicted to reach around USD 29.08 billion by the end of 2034, expanding at a CAGR of around 10.37% from 2025 to 2034.

Architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) software offers a variety of services and plays a major role in initiating constructive project life cycle management. It is extensively used in visualizing, designing, documenting, and drafting phases of numerous projects, as it is capable of planning the initial lifecycle process starting from presentation to the culminating stage of production. AEC is widely used among real estate businesses, surveyors, interior designers, construction companies, and mechanical and electrical piping engineers for various purposes. This is mainly because they help in improving overall productivity, minimizing labor expenses and overhead costs, and saving a great deal of time. This further results in swifter turnaround time on multiple projects.  

The global Architectural Engineering and Construction AEC market is expected to surge exponentially due to an increase in urbanization across the globe and the rapid construction of various infrastructural projects in both developed and developing countries around the world. A significant surge in population, growing initiatives towards building smart cities by various governments, and an increase in the construction of effective highways & roadways connecting numerous states and cities drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.

In addition, a surge in the need for personalized and cost-effective design solutions, and extensive application of AEC particularly by interior designers and architects to devise a comprehensive layout and make effective use of the three-dimensional (3D) model-based approach for a variety of construction projects will boost the growth of the AEC industry during the forecast period. Besides, AEC is extensively used by most construction and infrastructure companies to incorporate crucial construction processes such as data management and procurement, resulting in improved overall productivity of projects. Furthermore, the growing integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in AEC, the Internet of Things (IoT), and virtual reality (VR) in AEC for enhanced visualization and design creates ample opportunities for the growth of the market during the forecast period. However, the high initial investment in AEC software might restrict the growth of the market to an extent during the forecast period.

The global AEC market is segmented based on Component, Deployment Mode, Enterprise Size, Application, Project Life Cycle, and region. Based on Component, the global AEC market is divided into Software and Services. On the basis of Deployment Mode, the global AEC market is bifurcated into On-premise and Cloud. By Enterprise Size, the global AEC market is split into Large Enterprises and Small & Medium Enterprises. In terms of Application, the global AEC market is categorized into Construction & Architecture Companies, Education, and Others. By Project Life Cycle, the global AEC market is divided into Preconstruction, Construction, and Operations.

Based on region, the North American region held the largest market share in 2024 and is further projected to grow rapidly at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. There has been remarkable growth in the construction and infrastructure sector in this region due to the increase in the standard of living, rise in disposable income, and growth of the economy in this region. Besides, there has been an immense surge in the number of commercial buildings due to the presence and rise in the number of start-ups in this region. In addition, an increase in the adoption of innovative technologies such as AR, VR, and IoT among AEC companies further bolsters the growth of the market in this region.
