Market Dynamics

Companies looking to increase construction productivity and profitability boost the global construction management software market.

Companies looking to increase construction productivity and profitability

With around US$ 10 trillion spent on construction-related goods and services each year, the construction sector is the largest in the world economy. For years, companies have been employing applications and technologies to help with various stages of projects, including design, pre-construction and operations. However, the demand for building project management software, particularly modern and durable solutions, is growing.

Today's projects are far more complicated and organizations are under increasing pressure to increase construction productivity and profitability. The appropriate technology (including software) can assist construction firms to do all that and the industry players realize it. Research by USG and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Commercial Construction Index found that 78% of contractors think advanced tech can increase labor productivity and 75% think it can improve project schedule management.

While implementing construction management software requires a financial investment, the time and money savings that the user will gain are more than worth it. Recent research found that construction professionals spend 35% of their time on non-productive activities, including conflict resolution, looking for project information and dealing with mistakes and rework. Construction management software streamlines various tasks and reduces human error and missing data issues. The solution also empowers teams to do things quickly and accurately, so tasks are completed faster and stakeholders can devote their efforts toward high-value and profit-generating activities.

Lack of technical expertise and awareness

Lack of technical expertise is one of the major factors that hinder the market growth. Digitization is never easy, especially when the fields are entirely dependent on old-school methods of work scheduling, progress tracking, planning and overall task management. Investing in construction management software will come with a lot of learning curves.

The employees and employers will take effort and time to work on the software and use its various components smoothly. Additionally, a lack of awareness about the benefits of construction management software is anticipated to hamper the market. The software comes with a high price tag which might be a solid reason the companies are afraid of such an implementation in the business.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The pandemic has halted the growth of construction management software globally due to the sudden halt in construction sectors. According to the data, 40% of construction firms had to lay off staff due to the COVID-19 outbreak. e Center for Construction Research and Training reported on the economic impacts on the U.S. construction industry that almost one million construction workers became unemployed from March to April 2020.

The unemployment rate in construction has grown from 6.8% in October 2020 to 9.4% in January 2021. Moreover, the impact of the Coronavirus on India's construction industry is costing an estimated US $4,04,000 million (Rs 30,000 crore). Thie pandemic will reduce investment in the construction industry by 13 to 30%, probably affecting gross value added. However, the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated digitization in the construction industry and the importance of having a construction management platform became clear and its potential to drive more prominent profitability.

Segment Analysis

The construction management software market is segmented into cloud-based and on-premises by deployment.

Companies looking for a centralized platform are boosting the sales of cloud-based construction management software

The most modern construction management software is cloud-based. Companies that use them benefit from having a single source of truth, automatic software updates and the capability to access data from any location. The advanced features are critical in today's fast-paced construction environment, as team members are frequently dispersed across multiple sites. Currently, some workers are working from the office, while others work from home. A cloud-based solution ensures that everyone working on the project has access to the required information and tools, regardless of their location. Cloud-based solutions act as a single source because everything is centralized on one platform, allowing teams to collaborate on the same data.

The companies are launching new cloud-based software, which is expected to boost the market. For instance, in 2020, Hyphen Solutions, a cloud-based construction management software, announced the launch of three new products, Hyphen CRM, Hyphen Wallet and SupplyPro GM, at the NAHB International Builders' Show 2020. Hyphen Solutions has a modern platform for discovering supply chain bottlenecks and improving communication between home builders and suppliers by launching three new software solutions at IBS, the industry's largest exhibition.
