Geotechnical Engineering Market Overview


The global geotechnical engineering market is witnessing rapid growth with rising investments in the development of resilient structures.  The global geotechnical engineering market share was valued at USD 49.17 billion in 2020. The assessment of soil for proper foundational engineering is vital for any infrastructure development project which ultimately raises the need for geotechnical engineering.


Geotechnical engineering is the study of earth materials for analysis, design, and construction of commercial or civil infrastructure.  This knowledge plays a vital role in the development of foundations, tunnels, bridges, slopes, or any man-made structure. Therefore, proper support of geotechnical engineering is necessary to mitigate the rising challenges in the construction industry. The global geotechnical engineering market is expected to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate ( CAGR ) of 6.6 % over the forecast period 2022-2030.


The world is becoming energy-hungry with each passing day. The proper utilization of geotechnical engineering technology will help in power generation by reducing the chances of failure of hydropower, wind power structures, and mines. Moreover, the use of geotechnical services in the construction of smart cities will help in saving our vital resources. The global geotechnical engineering market is expected to be worth USD 80.29 billion by the end of the current forecast period in 2030.


Covid 19 Analysis

Covid-19 adversely affected the global geotechnical engineering market. The halt in construction activities across the globe led to a fall in the demand for geotechnical engineering services. The market was also affected by the cash crunch of building companies due to poor economic activity during the period. Furthermore, the shortage of labor and capital led to delay or postponement of major construction and mining activities. However, the market is witnessing a positive uprising with the resumption of construction activities after the relaxation of restriction measures. 


Competitive Landscape

The major global companies playing a key role in the geotechnical engineering market are :



Market Dynamics
Drivers

The rapid infrastructure development across the globe is raising the demand for geotechnical engineering services. As the knowledge of geotechnical engineering is vital for starting any development project the demand for these services is ever rising. The rising urbanization and the need for resilient structures are directly contributing to the market growth. Moreover,  increasing energy consumption and demand for mineral products has led to the development of the mining and renewable energy industry thereby, of the geotechnical engineering industry.


Remarkable scientific advancements in geotechnical engineering technology are helping mankind to build vital infrastructure in difficult zones. There is also a high demand for earthquake-resistant and other natural and artificial disaster-resilient structures. Therefore, increasing investments in infrastructure development by governments across the world is driving the growth of the global geotechnical engineering market.


Restraints

The high cost of geotechnical engineering services is a major restraining factor for the growth of the global geotechnical engineering market. This high cost arises due to the need for skilled technological knowledge and the use of sophisticated instruments and costly software. Therefore, it restricts small builders from getting the benefits of geotechnical engineering services.


Technology Analysis

Geotechnical engineering is a branch of civil engineering especially dealing with the use of earth matter ( soil, rocks, etc.) as an engineering material. This discipline allows the study of soil behavior under the influence of loading force for infrastructure development purposes. Geotechnical engineers apply this knowledge for foundational engineering of all civil, military & industrial infrastructures including dams, roads, infills, underground structures, etc. Therefore,  they play an important role in the successful establishment of every construction project.


Geotechnical engineering includes the study of a vast range of subjects like civil engineering, geology, soil and rock mechanics, slope stability, foundation engineering, and computational mechanics. The need for more complex, resilient, and sustainable structures arises from the need for constant developments in geotechnical engineering techniques.
