Education Buildings Market Report 2025

The education buildings market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $727.49 billion in 2024 to $755 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to strong economic growth in emerging markets, an increase in the number of private colleges and universities, an increase in renovation activities, and a rise in construction activities.

The education buildings market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $884.43 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the rising number of schools, increasing government support, globalization of education, global population growth, and urbanization. Major trends in the forecast period include prioritizing environmentally conscious construction by incorporating energy-efficient designs, renewable energy sources, and eco-friendly materials, incorporating modular construction methods, investing in state-of-the-art infrastructure to support technology-enhanced learning experiences, and increasing investments.

The anticipated surge in the number of schools is poised to drive the growth of the educational buildings market in the coming years. Schools, as educational facilities designed to provide classrooms and other learning environments, necessitate appropriate buildings for the establishment of classrooms, laboratories, and the provision of necessary educational infrastructure. The escalating count of schools globally is expected to result in an increased demand for educational buildings. For instance, in the United States, there are approximately 84,000 public schools distributed across nearly 100,000 individual buildings. Projections indicate that the total student enrollment in these schools will reach 56.8 million by the year 2026. Consequently, the rising number of schools emerges as a significant factor propelling the growth of the educational buildings market in the foreseeable future.

The growth of the construction industry is expected to drive the expansion of the educational buildings market in the future. The construction industry encompasses a branch of manufacturing and trade operations that includes infrastructure development, repair, renovation, and maintenance. It plays a crucial role in the development, upkeep, and enhancement of educational buildings. For example, in November 2023, the UK’s Office for National Statistics reported that new construction orders in 2022 increased by 11.4% compared to 2021, reaching a record value of £80.83 billion. The primary contributors to this growth were private infrastructure, private commercial, and other public non-housing sectors, which saw increases of 85.1%, 10.2%, and 17.5%, respectively. As a result, the growth of the construction industry is fueling the educational buildings market.

The incorporation of robotics in construction has emerged as a prominent trend gaining traction within the education buildings market. Robotics, a field of science involving the design, manufacturing, and utilization of robots to perform tasks traditionally executed by humans, is making significant inroads in the construction industry. Its application aims to enhance work efficiency, reduce labor requirements, minimize environmental impact, and expedite the construction process of educational buildings. A noteworthy example is Rugged Robotics, a US-based construction technology developer, which secured $9.4 million in funding in March 2022. The company's 'Rugged Robotics Mark I' robot facilitates automated construction layouts by directly marking engineering designs onto concrete floors, streamlining the commencement of construction activities.

The integration of technology stands out as a rapidly advancing trend in the education-building market. Given the growing significance of digital learning tools, online education, and hybrid teaching models, educational institutions are making substantial investments in cutting-edge infrastructure to support technology-enhanced learning experiences. A case in point is Berea College, a private liberal arts work college in Berea, Kentucky. In November 2022, the college launched a $10 million campaign to construct two technologically advanced buildings focused on computer science, digital media, and information technology. These buildings aim to empower the next generation of technology thinkers, makers, and innovators. Featuring contemporary applied engineering and sophisticated manufacturing techniques, the structures will house cutting-edge tools that graduates can utilize beyond Berea. The Phase 1 building is set to include computing laboratories, an innovative maker space, flexible classrooms, and new spaces for digital-media endeavors, thereby preparing traditionally underserved students for careers in technology.

In October 2022, Pike Construction Services, a US-based construction company specializing in construction management and development services, successfully acquired Charles A. Gaetano Construction Corporation and C2C Construction Solutions, LLC for an undisclosed sum. This strategic acquisition is expected to enhance Pike's presence in Utica, the Central New York region, and the entire Northeast. Furthermore, it aims to increase the value proposition for both existing and potential clients of Pike. Charles A. Gaetano Construction Corporation and C2C Construction Solutions, LLC are US-based companies offering construction services, with a focus on educational buildings.
