Engineering Services Market Report 2024

The engineering services market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $1.14 trillion in 2023 to $1.18 trillion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.6%. The expansion witnessed in the historical period can be ascribed to the heightened demand for industrial robots, the surge in industrial automation, and the implementation of Industry 4.0. Challenges that impeded growth during this period included deficiencies in quality control and safety concerns among engineering firms.

The engineering services market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.36 trillion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.6%. The anticipated growth in the upcoming period can be linked to the growing trend of digitalization, increasing demand for IoT (Internet of Things) solutions for smart manufacturing, the growing significance of robots in the construction industry, government investments in the aviation sector, ongoing advancements in smart cities, and the swift adoption of advanced technologies. Key trends projected for the forecast period encompass an emphasis on partnerships and collaborations, the adoption of artificial intelligence, utilization of blockchain, investments in the development of smart cities, focus on low-code development, an emphasis on environment-friendly building services, and the adoption of Industry 4.0.

The increasing adoption of artificial intelligence is anticipated to drive the expansion of the engineering services market in the future. Engineering services encompass any service or creative work that necessitates engineering education, training, and expertise in applying specialized knowledge of mathematical, physical, and engineering sciences. The integration of artificial intelligence can enhance the efficiency, productivity, and profitability of engineering services, leading to the creation of new job roles and opportunities. For instance, Stanford University's AI Index Report 2023 reveals that the proportion of companies adopting AI doubled between 2016 and 2022, plateauing in recent years at 50% to 60%. This growing adoption of artificial intelligence is a key driver for the engineering services market.

Steady economic growth in developed and developing countries is expected to be a favorable factor for the engineering services market. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) projects a global real GDP growth of 3.6% from 2021 to 2023, with a focus on Asia and Africa driving this trend. The report highlights that Asia is anticipated to constitute 66% of the global middle-class population by 2030. Consequently, the sustained economic growth in developed and developing nations is contributing to the growth of the engineering services market.

Leading companies in the engineering services market are introducing innovative products to address industry challenges. An example is Ricoh USA Inc., a US-based software company, which launched RICOH Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) Enablement in October 2023. This end-to-end managed services offering for health systems aims to streamline remote patient monitoring workflows, addressing healthcare staffing challenges amid a significant industry burnout crisis. The service supports the integration of remote patient monitoring devices into existing virtual care programs, covering inventory tracking, logistics, and device returns. This launch coincides with the healthcare industry's shift to virtual care delivery and a shortage of healthcare workers.

The latest trend in the engineering services market is the widespread adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT) globally. IoT is a system of interconnected devices that facilitate data transmission across various networks. It enables continuous innovation in real-time data analytics, product design, and development, fostering faster business growth. Engineering service providers are increasingly leveraging industrial IoT to optimize production processes by improving energy usage, resource allocation, and asset management. As an example, PureSoftware, an engineering service company, has successfully integrated IoT into its services, creating a robust IoT platform to enhance the speed and accuracy of data retrieval.

In June 2023, UES, a US-based engineering and consulting company, acquired Riner Engineering for an undisclosed amount, aiming to expand its geotechnical expertise. The acquisition was expected to bolster UES's capabilities in geotechnical engineering, construction materials testing, and environmental consulting. Additionally, it provided Riner Engineering with access to UES's resources and expertise, enabling the firm to extend its services and geographic reach. Riner Engineering, a US-based geotechnical engineering and construction materials testing firm, was the subject of this strategic acquisition.
