Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of bim and digital design tools, rising demand for sustainable building design, growing use of virtual visualization and modeling, expansion of urban planning and smart city projects, enhanced focus on regulatory compliance and design accuracy.

The growing demand for construction activities is expected to significantly drive the growth of the architectural services market in the coming years. Construction involves assembling various elements to create a structure at a specific location, utilizing detailed designs and plans. Architectural services are essential in this process, as they help create the architectural designs and plans necessary for building projects. As a result, an increase in construction activities leads to a higher demand for architectural services. For instance, in November 2023, the Office of National Statistics, a UK-based statistical authority, reported a remarkable 15.8% surge in total new work construction output, reaching a historic milestone with a value of £132.98 billion in 2023. Additionally, in 2022, total new work rose by £18.16 billion, with private sector growth at 16.8% and public sector growth at 13.1%. Consequently, the rising demand for construction activities is propelling the growth of the architectural services market.

Major players in the architectural services market are increasingly focusing on technological advancements such as Building Information Modeling (BIM) to enhance project collaboration, improve design accuracy, and streamline construction processes. BIM is a digital representation of a building's physical and functional characteristics, allowing architects, engineers, and construction professionals to visualize and analyze a project throughout its lifecycle. For example, in March 2023, Trimble Inc., a U.S.-based technology company specializing in software, hardware, and services, launched the 2023 versions of its Tekla structural BIM solutions, which include Tekla Structures, Tekla Structural Designer, Tekla Tedds, and Tekla PowerFab. These solutions enhance automated workflows and integrate with third-party tools. The new features improve software performance, streamline detailing for fabrication, and introduce advanced analytical capabilities for footfall assessment, ultimately supporting efficiency and sustainability in structural engineering and steel fabrication projects.
