The specialized design services market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $158.22 billion in 2024 to $169.16 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to technology development and demographic shift.
The specialized design services market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $229.53 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to economic growth, increase in number of internet users, globalization will drive the growth. Major trends in the forecast period include investments in innovative technologies, adoption of IoT and computer-aided engineering (CAE) technologies, cloud-based product design, offering customized solutions, collaborations with local interior designers, providing virtual designing services, integrating ai technologies, investing in 3d printing technologies, and investments in lab grown diamonds.
The increasing urbanization and infrastructure development are anticipated to drive the growth of the specialized design services market in the future. Urbanization involves the rising movement of populations from rural areas to urban centers, resulting in city growth and expansion. Meanwhile, infrastructure development pertains to the construction and enhancement of vital systems such as transportation, utilities, and public services to support urban growth and boost economic activity. Both urbanization and infrastructure development are gaining momentum due to population growth, economic opportunities, and the demand for better living standards, services, and connectivity in urban settings. Specialized design services are essential for these processes, as they help create functional, sustainable, and visually appealing urban environments that address the complex needs of expanding populations and modern infrastructure systems. For example, a report from the World Bank, a US-based international organization, noted that in 2022, over 50% of the global population lived in urban areas. This number is expected to rise to 6 billion by 2045, marking a 1.5-fold increase. By 2030, the world is projected to add 1.2 million square kilometers of urban built-up area, with urban land consumption anticipated to grow at a rate up to 50% faster than population growth. Furthermore, a July 2024 report from the Office for National Statistics, a UK government department, indicated that total investment in the infrastructure sector reached $18.0 billion (£13.8 billion) in constant prices in 2023, reflecting a 3.9% increase from 2022. Therefore, the rising urbanization and infrastructure development are propelling the growth of the specialized design services market.
The rising demand for transportation services is expected to contribute to the growth of the specialized design services market. Transportation services involve the movement of people, goods, and materials, playing a crucial role in the functioning of modern societies for work, commerce, and leisure. Specialized design services play a key role in helping transportation companies design and develop new products, including vehicles, parts, and accessories, that are more efficient, safer, and more comfortable for passengers and drivers. As per the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, a US-based government agency, truck transportation employment is projected to reach 1.59 million in January 2023, reflecting a notable increase of 600,000 from January 2022. Consequently, the growing demand for transportation services is a significant driver of the specialized design services market's expansion.
Major players in the specialized design services market are increasingly directing their focus toward 3D printing technology, anticipating the highest growth rate in the near future. The utilization of 3D printing technology is revolutionizing the delivery of specialized design services, enabling the creation of intricate and complex designs that may be challenging with traditional manufacturing methods. For example, in September 2023, Mastercam, a US-based specialist in CAD/CAM software, introduced a new Add-On product called Mastercam APlus by CAMufacturing Solutions, specifically tailored for 3D printing. This software supports the programming and simulation of additive manufacturing processes within Mastercam. Seamlessly integrating with Mastercam, the software empowers users to generate 3D printing toolpaths and visualize the additive machining outcomes. The introduction of Mastercam APlus enhances the value proposition in the specialized design services market, providing a more efficient and cost-effective approach to creating intricate designs.
Interior design service providers are widely incorporating virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technologies to offer customized designs to customers and deliver low-cost design plans within a short timeframe. Virtual reality involves using computer technology to create computer-stimulated visuals, while augmented reality supplements real-world objects with computer-generated information through sensory inputs. These technologies contribute to reducing rework, enhancing quality, lowering labor costs, improving safety, facilitating collaboration, and aiding in project management. For instance, online interior design service provider Decorilla utilizes AR and VR technologies for interior design. Major corporations such as Google, Facebook, and Samsung also leverage these technologies to boost productivity and elevate the quality of design. Other companies employing virtual reality and augmented reality for interior design include Roomy and Vectorworks.
