Energy & Utilities Construction Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.8% through 2030F

The global Energy & Utilities Construction Market is expected to be led by North America, driven by Digitalization and Smart Grid Implementation and Infrastructure Modernization and Resilience during the forecast period 2026-2030F


According to TechSci Research report, “Energy & Utilities Construction Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F, The Global Energy & Utilities Construction Market was valued at USD 134.6 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 213.1 billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 7.8% through 2030, One major driver is the increasing emphasis on grid resilience and modernization to withstand natural disasters and cyber threats. As extreme weather events become more frequent, utilities are investing heavily in strengthening infrastructure to prevent outages and ensure continuous service, driving construction and upgrade projects. Additionally, advancements in construction technologies such as Building Information Modeling (BIM), drones, and automation are improving project efficiency, safety, and cost-effectiveness, encouraging greater investment in large-scale infrastructure developments.

Another significant driver is the growing electrification of transportation and industrial sectors, which demands expansion and reinforcement of electrical grids and charging infrastructure. As electric vehicles (EVs) gain popularity, utilities need to construct new substations and transmission lines capable of handling increased loads. Furthermore, the shift toward decentralized energy systems, including microgrids and distributed generation, is creating new opportunities for localized utility construction projects. Lastly, increasing international collaboration and financing for sustainable energy projects, particularly in developing regions, are fueling market expansion by enabling large infrastructure projects that were previously financially unviable. Together, these factors are accelerating the pace and scale of energy and utilities construction worldwide.

Based on Type, Utilities Infrastructure Construction segment dominated the Energy & Utilities Construction Market in 2024 and maintain its leadership throughout the forecast period, driven by the critical need to develop, upgrade, and maintain essential infrastructure that supports energy generation, transmission, and distribution. This segment encompasses the construction of vital components such as power generation plants (including thermal, hydroelectric, nuclear, and increasingly renewable energy facilities), electrical transmission lines, substations, distribution networks, and water and wastewater treatment plants. The expanding global demand for reliable and sustainable energy supplies is the primary factor propelling growth within this segment.

Governments and private stakeholders worldwide are investing heavily in modernizing aging utility infrastructure to enhance grid reliability, reduce energy losses, and accommodate increasing penetration of renewable energy sources like solar and wind. For instance, the rise of decentralized energy systems and smart grids necessitates upgrading traditional transmission and distribution networks with advanced technologies that enable real-time monitoring and management of energy flows. These advancements not only improve operational efficiency but also help integrate intermittent renewable sources while ensuring energy security and resilience.

Additionally, rapid urbanization and industrialization in developing economies are significantly driving the expansion of utilities infrastructure. Growing urban populations demand greater access to electricity, clean water, and sanitation services, requiring extensive infrastructure projects. Investments in expanding electrical grids, water supply networks, and wastewater treatment facilities are crucial to supporting economic growth and improving living standards in these regions.

The push for sustainability and stringent environmental regulations are further accelerating the development of utilities infrastructure projects that align with green energy and resource conservation goals. The construction of renewable energy plants, smart substations, and energy storage facilities forms a vital part of this transformation. The sector is also witnessing increasing adoption of innovative construction techniques, such as modular construction and digital project management tools, which enhance project delivery speed and cost-effectiveness.

The Utilities Infrastructure Construction segment leads the Energy & Utilities Construction Market due to its essential role in enabling energy transition, meeting rising demand, and supporting sustainable development worldwide. Its significance is amplified by ongoing technological advancements and government policies focused on infrastructure modernization and decarbonization. As countries continue to invest in upgrading and expanding their utilities infrastructure, this segment is expected to maintain its dominance and drive substantial market growth in the foreseeable future.  

Based on region, Asia Pacific is emerging as the fastest-growing region for the Energy & Utilities Construction Market, driven by rapid economic development, urbanization, and increasing energy demand across countries like China, India, Japan, and Southeast Asian nations.
