Why BIM (Building Information Modelling)
This growth is driven by increasing adoption across various sectors, such as commercial, industrial, and residential construction, as well as the rise of advanced technologies like cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and augmented reality that integrate seamlessly with BIM solutions.
Market Value & Growth
- 2024 Market Value: Estimated at $8.6 billion.
- Projected 2030 Market Value: Expected to reach $24.8 billion, growing at a 16.3% CAGR
- Long-Term Growth: Valuation could hit $29 billion by 2034 with a CAGR of 13%
Skill Gap
- The demand for BIM professionals surged alongside an expanding BIM software market, projected to grow at a compound annual rate of over 16% to reach $30.7 billion by 2027.
- Despite this growth, the gap between available talent and demand remains large with companies.
- The construction sector globally has recognized the need for approximately 217,000 additional skilled workers (including BIM professionals) by 2025 to meet industry demands.
- The shortage of professionals proficient in BIM (Building Information Modeling) tools is a significant challenge for the construction and architectural industries.

51% of MEP and structural engineers currently use BIM on at least half of their projects. This is only going to grow further through the years.
A BIM-skilled professional is paid 40% more on average, compared to other professionals with similar experience.
