CLEVELAND, Sept. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- US architectural service revenues are forecast to grow 4.9% per annum in nominal dollars through 2026 from a depressed base in 2021, according to Architectural Services: United States, a report recently released by Freedonia Focus Reports. Demand for architectural services is closely tied to US building construction expenditures, which are forecast to rise 6.2% annually from 2021 to 2026. Providers of architectural services stand to benefit from a growing emphasis on sustainable design. Value gains over the historical period were promoted by increasing demand for architects and designers certified by the US Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program, which heightened architectural design time and fees, among other costs. This factor will continue to support value growth into the forecast period as demand for LEED certification continues to expand due to environmental concerns and efforts to lower building utility costs, in addition to potential tax deductions. The rising cost of acquiring land and constructing structures will limit faster growth in building construction expenditures and in demand for architectural services.

Key Points: 
  • Demand for architectural services is closely tied to US building construction expenditures, which are forecast to rise 6.2% annually from 2021 to 2026.
  • Providers of architectural services stand to benefit from a growing emphasis on sustainable design.
  • The rising cost of acquiring land and constructing structures will limit faster growth in building construction expenditures and in demand for architectural services.
  • In 2022, architectural service revenues are expected to expand 4.3%, with the most notable gains seen in the single-unit residential segment (10%).
