Methodology and sourcing behind the figures shown above.
Roadway and multimodal infrastructure design
Estimate derived from disclosed totals for related markets in the search results: (1) road & highway infrastructure (~USD 1.5 trillion in 2025) and (2) broader transportation infrastructure construction (~USD 3.48 trillion in 2024), plus the smart transportation market (~USD 134.5 billion in 2025). Applying a conservative professional/engineering & design fee rate (~4% of construction spending) to the road/highway base (~1.5T → ~USD 60B) and adding a portion of smart-transportation professional services and specialized design (3D visualization, constructible design) from the USD 134.5B smart-transport market (~USD 25B) yields ~USD 85B. Growth potential (CAGR ~7.5%) reflects faster-than-construction expansion driven by digitalization and smart-transport adoption (smart-transport CAGR ~13.1%) tempered by slower overall construction growth (3–5% CAGR).
Water and wastewater engineering
Estimate derived from service-focused market data in the supplied results. MarketsandMarkets reports a global wastewater treatment services market (USD 62.65B in 2024; 6.87% CAGR). Broader treatment market totals (Fortune, BCC) show larger industry scale; Roland Berger highlights mid-single-digit to low-double-digit CAGRs across service and smart-water segments. Applying a conservative 10% share of the global services market to represent the planning & design (engineering) subsegment yields ~USD 24.6B and an expected CAGR near the services-market range (~7%).
- The wastewater treatment services market is projected to grow from USD 62.65 billion in 2024 to USD 92.74 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 6.87%.
- The global water and wastewater treatment market size was valued at USD 372.39 billion in 2025 and is projected to grow ... CAGR of 7.50%.
- The global market for water and wastewater treatment technologies is expected to grow from $350.7 billion in 2025 to $591.2 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 11.0%.
- The global smart water solutions market is projected to reach USD 65 billion by 2029, growing at a 6% CAGR.
Power and broadband infrastructure planning
Estimate derived from parent-market figures in the search results: global power grid market (~USD 321.8B, 2025) and mobile broadband infrastructure (~USD 51–55B, 2024–2025). Planning and engineering services are a subset of these parent markets; applying a conservative services/engineering share (mid-teens for power, low-twenties percent for telecom) yields an estimated combined planning & engineering market of about USD 50B. Growth potential (CAGR ~7%) is aligned with reported CAGRs for the power grid (6.8%) and mobile broadband (7%).
- The global power grid market size was valued at USD 321.77 billion in 2025... exhibiting a CAGR of 6.80% during the forecast period.
- The global mobile broadband infrastructure market was valued at USD 51.4 billion in 2024 and is estimated to register a CAGR of 7% between 2025 and 2034.
- The mobile broadband infrastructure market is projected to grow from USD 55.0 billion in 2025 to USD 108.2 billion by 2035, at a CAGR of 7.0%.
Urban design and landscape architecture
Used search results showing a focused landscape-architecture services market (~USD 15.2B in 2024, CAGR 5.8%) and a much larger urban planning & design services market (~USD 400B in 2024, CAGR 3.75%). The specified segment (urban design + landscape architecture: master planning, streetscapes, parks, campus planning, wayfinding, 3D visualization) is a subset overlapping both categories. Starting from the explicit landscape-architecture figure and adding adjacent urban-design services (master planning, streetscape, campus planning and visualization), I estimate the combined global market at roughly USD 25B in 2024. Growth potential is placed between the cited CAGRs (higher than broad urban-planning services due to tech, sustainability, and visualization demand) at ~5.0% CAGR.
Surveying, geospatial and construction inspection
Synthesis of market reports for closely related segments (construction site surveying, land surveying, construction mapping). Reported 2024–2026 market sizes cluster between ~$7.6B and $10.3B; reported CAGRs range ~3.2%–6.4%. I selected a mid-point market size (~$9.0B) and a median-growth estimate (5.0% CAGR) reflecting the distribution of published forecasts and the inclusion of mapping/inspection services.
- Construction Site Surveying Services Market was estimated at 8.5 USD Billion in 2024; CAGR 3.18% (2025-2035).
- Global land surveying market valued at approximately USD 10.3 Billion in 2025, growing at a CAGR of around 5.9% through 2032.
- Global Land Surveying Market size was valued at USD 7.62 Billion in 2025; with a CAGR of 6.4% from 2025 to 2035.
- Construction Mapping Service market projected annual growth rate of 4.9% from 2026 to 2033.
