Market Growth Factors

Civil engineering is one of the industries which benefits from rapid urbanization activities around the world, with large amounts of government and private investment into developing road, bridge, railway, and airport infrastructure to support economic growth. As the population increases, demand for residential and commercial properties is growing which is projected to drive the growth of engineering and construction market. Additionally, advances such as Building Information Modeling (BIM) and 3D printing are making buildings faster to construct and cheaper to build.

Sustainability has become an important focus in civil engineering, with more environmental regulations and awareness of climate change. Energy-efficient and sustainable materials, and designs that minimize waste and optimize resource use, are becoming more common throughout the industry. An industry's first manual was prepared by the Global Green Construction Coalition. Wind and solar panels are increasingly used by contractors. Water saving features, such as improved drainage facilities and wastewater reuse systems, are also becoming more common.

Smart cities are expected to create a wealth of opportunities for revenues within the civil engineering industry. Governments and private stakeholders are investing in smart infrastructure such as smart traffic management, smart roads, smart water management, smart waste management, and smart energy management. The Middle East is expected to spend USD 50 Billion across smart city projects involving AI, IoT, automation, real-time monitoring and sustainable development by 2025, creating strong demand for civil engineers who can help build those projects.
