Dublin, Jan. 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “Land Planning and Development Market Report 2026” has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering. In 2025, Asia-Pacific was the largest market, followed by North America.
The land planning and development market has seen robust growth recently and is poised for further expansion. It is projected to increase from $225.6 billion in 2025 to $338.08 billion by 2030, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.5%. This surge is fueled by rising residential investments, urban population density, the adoption of modern surveying technologies, and a focus on sustainable land use.
Key market drivers include the burgeoning demand for digital land planning platforms and zoning optimization tools, leading to the development of integrated smart-city projects and green communities. The expansion of mixed-use and residential developments aligns with these trends, as does the increasing emphasis on efficient land utilization models. Urbanization projects, community-centric planning, and large-scale commercial and institutional complexes are also on the rise.
A major impetus for this growth is the expanding resident population, especially in urban locales. For example, the U.S. population grew by nearly 1% between 2023 and 2024, and with international migration increasing substantially, the demand for housing and urban development has surged. This demographic trend is expected to continue driving the land planning and development industry’s growth trajectory.
In response, industry leaders are deploying advanced digital solutions like map-based development platforms and digital lot-management systems. These systems enable dynamic parcel tracking, real-time updates, and greater connectivity with builder workflows, moving away from traditional static planning methods. For instance, Cecilian Partners innovated with XO KISS in May 2025, a platform offering comprehensive digital tools for land and community developers.
Mergers and acquisitions also play a crucial role in market dynamics. RSK Group Limited’s acquisition of DWD Ltd in November 2023 exemplifies strategic expansion goals, enhancing expertise and capabilities in property and planning services across critical sectors.
