Geotechnical Services Market

Geotechnical Services Market Outlook - 2030

The global geotechnical services market size was valued at $1.9 billion in 2020, and is projected to reach $3.7 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 6.7% from 2021 to 2030. Geotechnical engineering is a branch of civil engineering concerned with understanding the nature of the earth and its materials beneath its upper surface. The branch studies the physical, chemical, and mechanical properties of materials found below the earth's surface. Geotechnical engineering allows the monitoring and analysis of the condition of the subsoil of a property before constructing the foundation of a structure. It has become an integral part of every construction process, regardless of whether it is building, canal, tunnel, bridge, or road. The method helps to analyze the stability along with various other factors of the selected plot of land for construction. 

The coronavirus pandemic resulted in a nationwide lockdown and a halt in economic activities. A halt in the construction industry leads to a decrease in demand for geotechnical services.

Impact of COVID-19 on the global geotechnical services market

COVID-19 is an infectious disease that originated in Hubei province of the Wuhan city in China in late December. The highly contagious disease, caused by a virus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is transmitted from humans to humans. Since the outbreak in December 2019, the disease has spread to almost 213 countries around the globe with the World Health Organization declaring it a public health emergency on March 11, 2020. 

The outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic had led to partial or complete shutdown of production facilities, which do not come under essential goods, owing to prolonged lockdown in major countries such as the U.S., China, Japan, India, and Germany. It has led to either closure or suspension of their production activities in most of the industrial units across the world. Construction & infrastructure is one of the most affected sectors, owing to a lockdown announced in several countries.. Lockdown has affected several construction and infrastructure projects due to supply chain disruptions and the unavailability of workers. In March 2020, Boston became the first city in the U.S. to halt all construction activities to contain the spread of COVID-19, which negatively impacted the geotechnical services market growth.
