MEP is an abbreviation for Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing. MEP software is a subset of CAD software designed primarily for users in MEP professions to improve overall project design. When engineers create a building's infrastructure, whether it's connected to heating & cooling or electrical circuits, the design calculation must be precise. As a result, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing design necessitates careful planning and skilled engineering personnel. Engineers can use the software to deconstruct and visualize these complex designs, optimizing overall workflows and speeding up project design from start to finish. These factors are expected to boost the market growth of MEP software.
The COVID-19 pandemic caused supply chain disruptions in the MEP software industry. Some products' lead times have increased due to plant shutdowns. However, in the current market scenario, some building projects have been delayed or canceled due to the impact of COVID-19 on the companies and government organizations that commissioned them. While these technologies have been on the rise in the construction industry in recent years, the COVID-19 outbreak has hastened the number of businesses adopting and implementing software solutions.
As per Business Research Insights, the global MEP software market size is anticipated to be valued at USD 2,222.7 million by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 10.5% during the 2022-2027 period.
