The global EPC (engineering, procurement, and construction) market size was USD 7.9 Tn in 2022 and is likely to reach USD 13.7 Tn by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 5.8 % during 2023–2031. The market growth is fueled by the ­­rising infrastructure development and power generation facilities globally and the subsequent need for engineering services that facilitate cost-driven project management solutions for project management companies.

EPC (engineering, procurement, and construction) services are aimed at increasing profitability by reducing risks and costs associated with industrial project management. The EPC contractors have niche experience and a dedicated network of consultants, suppliers, transporters, and subcontractors to carry out turnkey projects in an efficient and organized manner to enhance efficiency and cost-effectivity.

 

EPC Market Outlook

The team of professionals involved in the EPC projects plans baseline schedules on defined metrics based on various parameters set by the project companies. These schedules allow contractors to take corrective actions to mitigate cost overruns or avoid delays caused by the uncertainties and disruptions such as technical or natural complexities involved in project management.

The market report finds that the COVID-19 pandemic has hampered the growth of the market due to the complexities arising in the supply chain management operations and economic slowdown. The oil & gas and manufacturing companies slowed down the production rates due to the slump in demand for products and services due to pandemic-induced volatile economic conditions. The construction industry in the U.S. lost nearly USD 61 Bn in GDP due to COVID-19-associated impact. This was due to the temporary closure of construction activities owing to the lockdown measures enacted by the government. The EPC services in the construction sector suffered major setbacks as the construction projects were postponed during the pandemic period.

EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) Market Dynamics

EPC Market Dynamics

Drivers

Rising preference for infrastructure development by various governments to boost economic activities is expected to drive the market. Complex structures such as bridges, tunnels, and railroads in geographically diverse areas require engineering excellence and high-end machinery to complete the project in a time-bound manner with an emphasis on cost-efficiency.

The engineering, procurement, and construction contractors have niche expertise in handling turnkey complex engineering projects with the help of efficient designing, procurement, and a skilled workforce. Government bodies dedicated to infrastructure development engage engineering, procurement, and construction contractors to execute the projects with high-quality assurance and cost-efficiency.

Increasing power consumption in emerging economies and the subsequent need for power generation facilities globally are anticipated to drive the market. According to International Energy Agency, an intergovernmental organization, global electricity demand is anticipated to grow at a pace of 3% annually in the forecast period of 2023-2025 while renewable energy share in the global power generation segment is expected to rise from 29% in 2022 to 35% in 2025.

Restraints

Supply chain disruptions and economic uncertainties caused by geopolitical unrest and lack of skilled manpower in the EPC sector are likely to hinder the market.  The geopolitical unrest in the OPEC countries or the ongoing events such as the Russia-Ukraine war is likely to create supply chain disruption of the material required for infrastructure development of manufacturing and oil & gas infrastructure facilities. Similarly, a shortage of skilled employees to execute the project efficiently and complexities in the project execution cause significant reductions in the profit margin for the EPC companies. These factors act as a restraint to the market.

Opportunities

Infrastructure push by the governments to promote renewable energy sources is expected to create significant opportunities for the market. Governments around the world are engaged in bilateral deals to build cross-border infrastructure to promote trade activities. The cross-border infrastructure developments including highways, roadways, and dams depend on EPC services to ensure the timely completion of the projects and quality assurance. The geopolitical uncertainties in the OPEC (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) and its associated effects on oil prices due to supply chain disruptions are encouraging major economies to adopt renewable sources of energy such as solar power or wind energy to generate electricity.

Market Segment Insights

Type Segment Analysis

Based on type, the EPC (engineering, procurement, and construction) market is divided into design, engineering, procurement, and construction. The engineering segment is expected to expand at a significant growth rate during the projection period owing to the rising adoption of EPC models by companies in the infrastructure development and energy sector. The infrastructure projects are aimed at giving a boost to the economies.

The construction segment is anticipated to grow significantly during the forecast period owing to the development of turnkey projects undertaken by governments to boost the economy. The major government initiatives such as building high-speed rail connectivity and airports rely on EPC services for the completion of projects as the EPC contractors have niche experience and resources to complete the project in a prescribed time.

EPC Market Type

Application Segment Analysis

On the basis of application, the global market is segregated into industry, chemicals, petrochemicals, power, and others. The power segment is projected to register a considerable CAGR during the forecast period due to rising power demand in developed and developing economies. The globalization and liberalization of economies have accelerated the demand for power in different sectors.

Power companies are expanding their infrastructure to cater to the rising demand for power. Moreover, the clean energy transition has fueled the infrastructure growth in the power sector as traditional power generation facilities are replaced with facilities that support renewable energy generation. The demand for power EPC services is increasing due to these factors.


The industry segment is expected to dominate the market in the projected period owing to efficient offsite manufacturing, prefabrication, and designing services provided by the EPC contractors. Contract-based project delivery model offered enables the contractors to reduce the uncertainties in the project execution and implementation.

EPC Market Application

Regional Outlook

In terms of region, the global EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) market is classified as Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa. Asia Pacific is expected to dominate the market during the projection period owing to rising urbanization and industrialization in the region. Large-scale capital investment by both foreign and domestic investors is creating lucrative opportunities for the growth of the industrial sector. Infrastructure development companies engaged in the development of a network of highways, railroads, and airports to support industrial growth by catering to the logistical and infrastructural requirements of the industries.

North America is expected to grow at a significant rate in the forecast period due to the growth of the infrastructure and energy sector due to supportive government policies and funding.  In a recent study conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau construction expenditure during April 2023, was anticipated at an annual rate of USD 1,908.4 Bn which is 7.2 % above the April 2022 estimate of USD 1,780 Bn. Moreover, the enactment of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) facilitated USD 550 Bn toward conventional and next-generation infrastructure development projects.  This factor is likely to drive the market in the region.
