Construction Cybersecurity Global Market Report 2026

Construction cybersecurity involves a comprehensive set of strategies and technologies aimed at safeguarding digital assets, systems, and communication networks within the construction industry from cyber threats such as hacking, ransomware, data breaches, and unauthorized access. It focuses on protecting tools such as project management software, building information modeling (BIM) systems, connected construction equipment, and sensitive project data to maintain the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of information throughout the construction lifecycle.

The primary types of construction cybersecurity include network security, endpoint security, cloud security, and identity and access management. Network security is concerned with securing interconnected systems, devices, and data transmissions across construction sites and offices from unauthorized access, disruptions, and cyberattacks. Construction cybersecurity solutions encompass both products and services and are utilized by organizations of all sizes, including large enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Key applications include smart building protection, project data security, remote operations, BIM system protection, and safeguarding the industrial Internet of Things (IoT). These cybersecurity measures serve a wide range of end-users, including residential, commercial, and industrial construction sectors.

The construction cybersecurity market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $7.07 billion in 2025 to $8.58 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing digitization of construction workflows, rising integration of connected construction equipment, growing use of cloud-based construction tools, expansion of BIM-driven project environments, reliance on imported cybersecurity appliances.

The construction cybersecurity market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $18.41 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.0%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing adoption of AI-driven cybersecurity tools, expansion of IoT protection requirements, growth in localized cybersecurity hardware manufacturing, rising need for integrated cyber-physical protection, increasing demand for advanced construction data governance. Major trends in the forecast period include integration of AI-powered threat detection, expansion of cloud-native cybersecurity platforms, growth of iot security for connected construction sites, advancement of industrial cyber-physical security integration, adoption of blockchain for secure project data management.

The increasing frequency of ransomware and phishing attacks is expected to drive the growth of the construction cybersecurity market in the coming years. Ransomware and phishing attacks are forms of malicious cyber threats where ransomware encrypts data and demands payment for its release, while phishing deceives individuals into revealing sensitive information through fraudulent communications. These types of attacks are becoming more prevalent as cybercriminals adopt advanced social engineering tactics that exploit human behavior, making it easier to trick individuals into clicking harmful links or disclosing confidential information. Construction cybersecurity is essential in countering these threats by deploying comprehensive protective systems, monitoring digital infrastructures, and strengthening an organization's ability to resist unauthorized access and data breaches. For example, in June 2025, Ascendant Technologies Inc., a US-based IT services firm, reported a 23% increase in cybersecurity threats targeting the construction sector over the past year. These threats-including phishing, ransomware, and data breaches-pose significant risks, with potential industry losses projected to reach $1.2 trillion by 2025. As a result, the rise in ransomware and phishing attacks is contributing to the expansion of the construction cybersecurity market.

Leading companies in the construction cybersecurity space are developing advanced technologies such as AI-enabled intelligent building platforms to improve operational oversight, security, and efficiency in modern construction environments. An AI-enabled intelligent building platform is a digital solution that utilizes artificial intelligence to integrate and manage various building systems, offering real-time analytics, remote monitoring, predictive maintenance, and enhanced cybersecurity protocols. For instance, in June 2025, Honeywell International Inc., a US-based technology and manufacturing firm, introduced Connected Solutions-an AI-powered building management platform that consolidates key building software, systems, and devices into a unified interface for optimized performance. Built on the Honeywell Forge platform, this system features a streamlined AI-enabled installation completed within hours and provides facility managers with real-time insights, remote access, maintenance alerts, advanced encryption for cybersecurity, and tools for managing energy efficiency to support decarbonization goals.

In November 2023, Rockwell Automation, a US-based provider of industrial automation and information solutions, acquired Verve Industrial Protection for $183 million. This acquisition aims to integrate Verve's asset inventory and vulnerability management capabilities into Rockwell's Lifecycle Services, delivering a comprehensive cybersecurity solution that enhances the protection and resilience of industrial and construction infrastructure. Verve Industrial Protection is a US-based cybersecurity company specializing in securing industrial control systems (ICS) and critical infrastructure, including those used in construction settings.
