North America Mechanical Electrical And Plumbing Service Market Growth & Trends
The North America mechanical electrical & plumbing service market is anticipated to reach USD 51,411.4 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 7.4% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Smart buildings are gaining popularity as they integrate various systems to create intelligent, interconnected environments. The adoption of smart building automation and the Internet of Things (IoT) is driving the demand for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing services in North America.
The growing number of manufacturing facilities is expected to require MEP services such as engineering, designs, and drafting services for the HVAC, electrical, and plumbing systems, among others. This rise in the value added in manufacturing and construction sectors is observed due to the flourishing construction, chemical processing, and food & beverages industries. MEP services play a significant role in manufacturing facilities’ operation, construction, and design. Hence, the growth of these industries is expected to further fuel the demand for MEP services in North America over the forecast period.
Furthermore, Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) has revolutionized MEP design by allowing accurate visualization, improved collaboration, and early clash detection. Stakeholders can coordinate effectively and identify conflicts using detailed virtual models before construction begins. VDC supports precise quantity takeoffs, cost estimation, and efficient project planning. By incorporating building energy modeling services, MEP professionals can achieve higher project efficiency, lower costs, minimize disruptions, and ensure timely project delivery of MEP systems. The incorporation of such advanced technologies is expected to further drive the demand for MEP services in the region.
Moreover, the regulatory framework for the market encompasses a variety of laws, regulations, standards, and guidelines aimed at ensuring the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of commercial facilities. Regulations such as the Canadian Standard Association (CSA)C22.1:24, the National Electrical Code (NEC), and the International Plumbing Code (IPC) are some of the important regulatory frameworks impacting the MEP service market.
Market players in North America in mechanical, electrical, and plumbing services are adopting several strategies, such as acquisitions, mergers, joint ventures, new service launches, and regional expansion, to enhance market penetration and cater to changing local demands from various end-use applications, including residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
For instance, in October 2023, Global Facility Solutions, LLC was acquired by Huron Capital, a full equity partner, through its portfolio company Exigent. This restructuring has provided Global Facility Solutions, LLC with increased capital funds and key business service relationships, allowing the company to enhance its client services and further expand its ability to provide sustainability services to clients throughout the U.S.
