Firms in the Surveying and Mapping Services industry have struggled with volatile downstream demand over the past few years. Demand for surveying services fluctuates in response to construction activity, as they’re a necessity for construction projects. Although demand for surveying services has risen in areas like heavy and civil engineering construction, as well as exploration, these gains haven’t been enough to counterbalance the drop in residential building construction demand. Slow growth in the number of surveyors further constrains market size as more experienced surveyors are retiring while fewer young people are interested in pursuing surveying as a career. Overall, revenue is expected to contract at an annualised 3.1% over the past five years to $4.0 billion, including an anticipated drop of 4.5% in 2024-25.
Industry revenue has declined at a CAGR of 3.1 % over the past five years, to reach an estimated $4.0bn in 2024.
Market size is projected to grow over the next five years.
