This report identifies key demand-side trends in the engineering and construction (E&C) industry that can help enterprises fine-tune their digital strategies. It also provides an overview of enterprise challenges in this space based on Avasant’s assessment.
Persistent supply chain volatility, skilled labor shortages, accelerating demand for data centers and energy infrastructure, and tightening sustainability mandates are pushing E&C enterprises to deepen their digital transformation. Firms are embedding AI-native platforms into project execution, industrializing delivery through modular and DfMA-led workflows, and scaling digital twins across design, construction, and asset operations. Fragmented systems are giving way to integrated platforms that strengthen cost control, schedule predictability, and procurement resilience. As sustainability shifts from a voluntary differentiator to a compliance-driven baseline, enterprises are adopting carbon tracking, life cycle assessments, and green building standards across project portfolios. To accelerate these initiatives, industry leaders are partnering with digital service providers to embed intelligence across the construction value chain.
The Engineering and Construction Digital Services 2026 Market Insights™ aids enterprises in this sector in identifying important market trends and challenges for any digital project they participate in.
