Report Overview

的global construction estimating software market size was valued at USD 1.34 billion in 2021 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.3% from 2022 to 2030. The current growth of the market can be attributed to the rising construction activities and shift in construction companies' focus on optimizing the cost of the project. Aggressive growth in the construction activities being undertaken across the globe is prompting companies to integrate lean principles into construction processes to reduce waste, improve productivity, and cut costs supporting the market trend. The spread of the COVID-19 virus in early 2020 has negatively impacted the construction estimating software market for the first three quarters of 2020. However, various companies have leveraged the increasing digitalization and internet penetration amid the pandemic to advertise their products and expand their customer base. This encouraged construction companies to digitize business operations such as construction designing, estimating, and fleet management, among others.

的growing demand for construction estimating software is encouraging software vendors to adopt various business strategies to increase their net sales. Industry players are focusing on improving their client network by partnering with construction design companies to enhance their market revenue and expand their service network. For instance, in March 2022, Cost Certified, a construction estimating software provider, partnered with Cedreo, a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) provider for 3D home design, to develop a single platform with estimation and designing tools for residential projects. Cost Certified planned to integrate its construction estimating software on the platform with a simplified interface.

COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the construction industry across the globe, affecting the economic growth of most countries. To revive the pandemic-affected economy, governments of various countries are investing in the construction sector, creating robust opportunities for the construction estimating software market. Governments are launching multiple infrastructure development projects, including the construction of houses, commercial buildings & bridges, and their maintenance, supporting market growth.

For instance, in September 2021, the Government of the U.K. announced to spend USD 900 billion in private & public construction and infrastructure development in the next ten years. The government has aimed to complete projects worth USD 200 billion by 2025, creating jobs for 425,000 people per year in this duration.

Various government initiatives to establish digital infrastructure are also accelerating the adoption of construction estimating software. Various government-authorized organizations are developing software to prepare cost structures for the different construction and infrastructure development projects. For instance, in June 2022, the Public Works Department (PWD) of India announced the launch of construction and project estimator software to calculate the funds required to commence the project and strengthen transparency in the system. PWD will also make the software compatible with other construction software such as asset monitoring & tracking and quality checking tools to improve the adaptability of the estimator software.

的high initial costs of the software and evolving digital threats are the two key factors expected to hamper the market growth during the forecast period. The software development process for construction estimating software is costly as the provider needs to hire expert software engineers and implement advanced software testing and assessment tools. The market players are adopting various business strategies to reduce the costs of construction estimating software.

的y are also focusing on mergers & acquisitions to improve their service product portfolios and technological expertise, which allow them to reduce software prices. For instance, in March 2022, JDM Technology Group, a global construction software company, acquired CavSoft, a construction estimating Software Company, for an undisclosed amount. CavSoft merged with JDM Technology Group’s subsidiary (Spearhead Software) in Australia.

Software License Insights

的subscription license segment held a market share of 56.6% in 2021. The segment growth can be attributed to the growing preference for subscription business models and the strong emphasis on customer retention, reducing subscriber churn, and ensuring regulatory compliance. Advances in cloud computing have particularly added flexibility to the subscription-based license models. As a result, several providers of construction estimating software have started partnering with cloud service providers to offer their respective software on a subscription license. A subscription-based license model also allows construction companies to increase customer engagement and subsequently augment their sales by providing efficient services to their customers.

的perpetual license segment is expected to expand at a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period. A perpetual license allows indefinite use of the software for a one-time fee. However, technical support and software updates might be limited for the initial years. After the technical assistance period is over, the customer may opt for new software or continue using the existing perpetual licensed construction estimating software without any software updates and technical support. Nevertheless, a perpetual license also involves a high level of customization or integration in line with the customer’s requirement, thereby giving customers more control over security and more insights into the situation. These benefits associated with perpetual licensed software are expected to drive the growth of the segment during the forecast period.

Deployment Insights

的cloud segment accounted for the largest market share 50.3% in 2021. As the construction industry continues to evolve, the adoption ofcloud computingis higher within the industry as construction companies are considering cloud deployment the most preferred way to deploy construction estimating software. Cloud deployment ensures cost-efficiency while also increasing productivity by allowing the use of data to streamline processes. Several large enterprises, such as Autodesk and Microsoft Corporation are offering construction estimating software over the cloud.

For instance, in October 2021, Autodesk, Inc. launched a new feature across Autodesk Construction Cloud and expanded its partner ecosystem as part of its efforts to connect workflows on a single platform.

的on-premise segment is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 6.0% throughout the forecast period. The increasing complexity of real-time collaboration among project stakeholders, and large upfront capital investments, to purchase and manage the software along with hardware, servers, and other facilities, are driving the segment growth. On-premise solutions typically provide high data security for construction projects while facilitating functionalities, such as estimating, job costing, project design and scheduling, and project management, among others.

For instance, Sage Group’s Sage 300 Construction and Real Estate Management is an on-premise solution that can be installed on a company’s server and accessed from licensed workstations. The solution guarantees a high level of customization and flexibility.

Enterprise Size Insights

的large enterprise segment accounted for the largest market share of 61.6% in 2021.
