Architecture/Interior design

The architectural and engineering services sectors are mature, fragmented, and competitive with few barriers to entry and high volatility of demand.

During the global lockdown, the demand for commercial/industrial constructions weakened. Nevertheless, the rising demand for distribution, logistics, data centers and other industrial facilities is helping offset the industry. Architectural services revenue was estimated at $344 billion in 2021, with engineering services revenue estimated at $938 billion globally.

While increasing demand for green buildings has created a niche that many firms have developed talent to exploit, a long, continuous decline of profit margins in both architecture and engineering poses a threat to the growth of this market- particularly in developed economies.
