Big data analytics in construction involves the collection, processing, and analysis of large volumes of data generated throughout the lifecycle of construction projects. This approach enables stakeholders to gain valuable insights by identifying patterns, trends, and correlations within complex datasets. It supports improved decision-making, enhances operational efficiency, and provides a deeper understanding of various project dynamics.
The main components of big data analytics in construction include solutions and services. Solutions consist of tools and platforms designed to analyze extensive construction data to boost decision-making, efficiency, safety, and project outcomes. The primary deployment models are on-premises and cloud-based, with key technologies such as predictive analytics, machine learning and artificial intelligence, data visualization, Internet of Things (IoT) integration, and more. Applications span project management, design and planning, construction management, operations and maintenance, among others, serving end users such as general contractors, subcontractors, project owners, architects and engineers, and government agencies.
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 rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the construction sector, particularly in materials procurement and project costs. Higher duties on imported steel, aluminum, lumber, and machinery have driven up expenses for builders, contractors, and infrastructure developers, leading to increased project bids and delayed timelines. Construction equipment manufacturers face similar challenges, with tariffs on essential components and raw materials inflating production costs and squeezing margins. Additionally, retaliatory tariffs in international markets have curtailed exports of U.S.-made construction equipment and materials, further affecting profitability. The sector must now prioritize local sourcing, modular construction techniques, and supply chain diversification to control costs and ensure project viability amid ongoing trade uncertainties.

The big data analytics in construction market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $9.07 billion in 2024 to $9.83 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.3%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to the increasing need for real-time project monitoring, rising demand for cost optimization in construction, growing use of digital tools in infrastructure projects, expansion of urban development activities, and heightened focus on improving productivity in construction.
The big data analytics in construction market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $13.34 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.9%. The growth anticipated in the forecast period is driven by rising demand for predictive insights in construction planning, greater integration of data analytics with BIM tools, increasing need for risk mitigation and compliance, and a surge in construction activities. Key trends in the forecast period include technological advancements in construction analytics platforms, innovations in AI-powered construction tools, increased investment in research and development of digital twins, development of real-time data visualization dashboards, and innovative applications of machine learning for project outcome prediction.
The increasing infrastructure development activities are expected to drive the growth of the big data analytics in construction market moving forward. Infrastructure development encompasses the planning, construction, and maintenance of essential physical systems such as transportation, energy, water, and communication networks. The rise in these activities is fueled by economic growth and urbanization, which increase demand for enhanced transportation, energy, and public utility systems. Big data analytics supports infrastructure development by delivering data-driven insights that improve planning and execution. It aids in optimizing resource allocation, early risk detection, and better project scheduling, resulting in more efficient and sustainable infrastructure outcomes. For example, in July 2024, the Office for National Statistics, a UK government department, reported that total general government investment in infrastructure reached $17.25 billion (£13.8 billion) in 2023, a 3.9% increase from 2022. Consequently, the expanding infrastructure development activities are propelling the growth of the big data analytics in construction market.
Key companies in the big data analytics in construction market are focusing on advanced solutions, such as artificial intelligence platforms, to streamline AI solution development and deployment by providing ready-to-use tools.
