Engineering Services Global Market Report 2025

Engineering services play a vital role in offering extensive consultation to companies seeking expert advice and solutions. These firms can undertake projects, engaging in tasks such as evaluating, designing, simulating, and testing the product.

The primary categories of engineering services include civil engineering services, environmental engineering services, construction engineering services, mechanical engineering services, and other engineering services. Civil engineering services cover a broad spectrum of activities, ranging from the planning, design, and construction of commercial and residential structures to the development of transportation infrastructure such as roads, bridges, and railways. Additionally, these services extend to water distribution systems, such as dams, sewers, and sewage treatment, as well as environmental infrastructure, including landscaping, urban planning, and parks. Industrial infrastructure, construction management, construction technology, and more are also part of civil engineering services. Various engineering disciplines, such as civil, mechanical, electrical, piping, and structural engineering, are delivered through both offshore and onsite models. These services find applications across diverse sectors, including automotive, industrial manufacturing, healthcare, aerospace, telecommunications, information technology, energy and utilities, among others.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the ensuing trade tensions in spring 2025 are taking a toll on the professional services sector, especially within legal, consulting, architectural, and engineering fields. Increased duties on imported technology, software, office hardware, and digital infrastructure have pushed up operational costs for firms that rely on global systems and resources. Cross-border consulting engagements are experiencing delays and higher expenses due to elevated travel costs and limited access to international data and tools. Moreover, industries heavily impacted by tariffs such as manufacturing, construction, and logistics are reducing their reliance on outsourced services, dampening demand for professional support. In response, service providers are reassessing pricing models, strengthening ties with domestic vendors, and accelerating the adoption of AI and automation to maintain profitability and client satisfaction in an increasingly volatile environment.

The engineering services market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides engineering services market statistics, including engineering services industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with an engineering services market share, detailed engineering services market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the engineering services industry. This engineering services market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.

The engineering services market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $1110.15 billion in 2024 to $1141.89 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increased demand for industrial robots, a rise in industrial automation and implementation of industry 4.0.

The engineering services market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1318.58 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing digitalization, rising demand for IoT (internet of things) solutions for smart manufacturing, rising prominence of robots in the construction industry, government investments in the aviation industry, continuous development of smart cities and a rapid adoption of advanced technologies. Major trends in the forecast period include focus on partnerships and collaborations, adoption of artificial intelligence, use of blockchain, investment in development of smart cities, investment in low-code development, focus on environment-friendly buildings services and use of industry 4.0.

The forecast of 3.7% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.2% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. Tariff escalations are likely to challenge U.S. infrastructure projects by increasing expenses for structural analysis platforms and computer-aided design or computer-aided manufacturing systems developed in Sweden and South Korea, potentially extending project timelines and raising design service costs. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

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.

The engineering services market is poised to benefit from consistent economic growth in both developed and developing countries. For instance, in April 2024, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), a US-based financial agency, projected that the global economy would grow at a rate of 3.2 percent in both 2024 and 2025, maintaining the same growth rate as in 2023. Advanced economies are expected to experience a modest growth increase, from 1.6 percent in 2023 to 1.7 percent in 2024, and reaching 1.8 percent in 2025. Thus, the ongoing economic growth in developed and developing nations is driving the expansion 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.
