Geotechnical Services Market Report 2026

The geotechnical services market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.42 billion in 2025 to $2.57 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to urban infrastructure expansion, development of large scale construction projects, early adoption of engineering risk evaluation, increasing use of soil testing practices, growth in civil infrastructure investments.

The geotechnical services market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.28 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising future infrastructure modernization, increasing global construction activity, expanding focus on resilient structural development, growing reliance on engineering based site assessment, strengthening emphasis on structural safety standards. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing demand for infrastructure stability assessment, growing need for advanced soil and rock analysis, rising focus on foundation reliability enhancement, strengthening adoption of risk based geotechnical planning, increasing utilization of specialized ground investigation solutions.

The increasing investments in wind energy are expected to drive the growth of the geotechnical services market going forward. Wind energy refers to the process of harnessing wind to produce mechanical power or electricity. Investment in wind energy is rising as the growing demand for clean power encourages the development of renewable infrastructure, with countries aiming to lower carbon emissions and transition to sustainable energy sources. This expansion requires specialized geotechnical exploration and data analysis methods to manage risks throughout different stages of project development. For instance, in 2024, according to the U.S. Department of Energy, a U.S. federal agency, the United States installed 6,474 MW of new onshore wind capacity in 2023, bringing cumulative wind capacity to nearly 150,500 MW. Therefore, the rising investment in wind energy is driving the growth of the geotechnical services market.

Major companies operating in the geotechnical services market are developing advanced technologies, such as geotechnical data management platforms, to meet larger customer bases, increase sales, and increase revenue. A geotechnical data management platform is a comprehensive software solution designed to collect, store, analyze, and visualize geotechnical data generated during various phases of construction and engineering projects. For instance, in October 2023, Soil Instruments Limited, a UK-based company that designs, develops, manufactures, and sells geotechnical and structural monitoring instrumentation, launched Sensly, a data monitoring software. The unique Sensly software, positioned to replace the current Argus platform, marks a substantial advancement in geotechnical data management. Operating on a secure cloud technology platform, Sensly introduces a myriad of unparalleled features tailored to meet the dynamic requirements of geotechnical professionals. With an intuitive and user-friendly interface, the software ensures a seamless and efficient experience for users across all levels of expertise, distinguishing itself as a unique and innovative solution in the realm of data monitoring.

In September 2023, RMA, a US-based engineering and consulting company specializing in geotechnical engineering, construction materials testing, building code compliance, threshold inspections, and environmental consulting, acquired A3GEO for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition allows RMA to expand its capabilities and pursue federally funded projects across the Western U.S., enhancing its services for public and private infrastructure projects across various sectors, including transportation, healthcare, and renewable energy. A3GEO is a US-based company providing geotechnical services including geology, subsurface exploration, site evaluation, material testing, and earthquake engineering.
