Building Information Modeling (BIM) Market: Overview

Building information modeling (BIM) is a holistic process that involves the creation and management of information for a facility, business unit, or asset. It is based on the use of intelligent models further strengthened by cloud technology that assists in integrating multidisciplinary and structured data. With the help of various technologies, tools, and contracts, BMI can create a digital representation of all functional and physical characteristics of a unit or a place. At its core, BMIs are computer files that can be exchanged, extracted, or shared across users to aid decision-making related to the building of an asset.

The software has found applications across sectors including private and government-run segments since it is used to plan and can help prevent the waste of monetary and non-monetary resources. BMIs can be used at every step of asset construction including planning, designing, constructing, operating, and maintaining large and complex structures like roads, water, bridges, gas facility, electricity facility, tunnels, and communication utilities. The BMI software was conceptualized in 1970 but the early 2000s were the years when the technology started gaining momentum.

Building Information Modeling (BIM) Market: Growth Drivers

Growing investments toward infrastructure development to propel market demand

The global building information modeling (BIM) market is projected to grow owing to the rise in investments across the globe for infrastructure development. These are systems that are required for any country to function and include the construction & development of large-scale facilities like power and water supplies, transport, buildings, and other key units. Good infrastructure can effectively help reduce the price of delivered goods, help in removing any productivity constraint, allow hassle-free and convenient physical mobility of people and goods alike, and help in increasing competitiveness. Countries spend a higher amount on infrastructural growth since it directly impacts the rate of foreign investment.

As the world is moving toward fast-paced growth to meet the growing demands of the rising population, rampant industrialization, and urbanization, the adoption rate for BMI software is projected to skyrocket in the coming years. For instance, in 2019, the Indian government announced that it will be leveraging the benefit of BMI systems to facilitate infrastructure development projects in the country.

Building Information Modeling (BIM) Market: Restraints

The high implementation cost to restrict market expansion

The global market growth may be restricted due to the high cost of implementation of building information modeling systems. The cost not only includes the expenses associated with the technology or the equipment but other intangible costs as well. Businesses gripping from the benefits of BIM have to invest in other factors starting from compliance concerns to vendor management. All of these systems have to be streamlined in a manner that reinforces positive outcomes and neglect any of these subunits that could potentially damage the overall final result obtained from the technology.

Building Information Modeling (BIM) Market: Opportunities

Constant product innovation to support further growth

Business survival depends on the rate at which they can meet the dynamic and changing demand or requirements of the end-users. BIM technology may get access to higher growth opportunities as the players in the global building information modeling (BIM) market are constantly working toward integrating better systems to provide enhanced user experience and outcomes. The use of virtual reality, artificial intelligence, 3-dimensional printing, the internet of things (IoT), and machine learning are expected to enhance the modeling process derived from BIM technology.

Building Information Modeling (BIM) Market: Challenges

Managing cost-effectiveness in small projects acts as a challenge

One of the key factors that could challenge global market growth is the proof of cost-effectiveness when BIM systems are used in small projects. If the rate of return (ROI) on BIM investment remains low, businesses working on small projects may refrain from using the technology. Hence providers of BIM have to work on detailing how the system aligns with the end goal for small projects with relatively less capital.

Building Information Modeling (BIM) Market: Segmentation

The global building information modeling (BIM) market is segmented based on end-user, solution, vertical, and region

By Solution

• Software
• Services

The global market is expected to be dominated by the services segment due to the growing demand for cloud-based services due to the various benefits associated with the technology. Cloud services do not require the use of a hard drive and all information can be stored on the internet. It allows businesses more flexibility as compared to hosting from a local server managing the complexities of a business operation. Cloud services offer fast and effective visualization and give the business owner higher access to resources. The software segment is mainly dominated by structural and architectural software solutions. As per estimates around 46.9% of the architects use Autodesk Revit as the preferred BIM software.

By Vertical

• Commercial
• Residential
• Infrastructure
• Institutional
• Industrial

The global market may generate the highest revenue in the industrial segment during the forecast period due to the rapid industrialization rate observed worldwide. As per a December 2022 report by Statista, in August 2022 the global industrial production rate increased by 3.6% in comparison to the previous year. Several factors influence industrialization and some of them include high tariffs, western mining, national markets, vertical and horizontal integration, and tax breaks and government subsidies.
