After a turbulent period of adjusting forecasts and changing expectations, 2022 has been a year of reemergence and growth in the construction industry. With digitalization as the post-pandemic buzzword, construction companies across the globe are using smart contracts, building information modeling (BIM) systems, drones, and construction management software to enhance the efficiency of workers. Following these trends, market evaluations forecast that the construction management sector valued at $ 1,814.47 Million in 2021 is projected to reach $ 3,955.19 Million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 9.43 percent from 2023 to 2030.
Among the various trends that are driving the construction management industry, BIM is significant. BIM is predominantly leveraged in the architectural, engineering, and construction industries (AEC). BIM integration has driven the industry towards a more transparent, accountable, and efficient process system. With its vast scope, the technology has included several aspects of construction, like 3D modeling, facility management, collaboration, coordination, cost estimation, and procurement. According to market research, the market size for BIM was estimated to be $5.20 billion in 2019 and is projected to rise to $15.06 billion by 2027.
