The 42nd Annual Deltek Clarity A&E Industry Study 2021

For the last 42 years, Deltek, the leading global provider of software and solutions for project-based businesses, has conducted an annual survey of firms in the Architecture and Engineering industry (A&E) to identify key performance indicators, market conditions and industry trends.

This leading market report is developed in close collaboration with industry organizations and is utilized by thousands in the industry. The outcomes of the study are based on a survey of more than 480 architecture and engineering firms in the United States and Canada.

Some interesting facts from this year’s report:

• 54% of firms struggle with prioritizing which new technologies are most applicable to their business and which will yield the greatest returns;
• 76% of firms envision their business as digitally mature or advanced in 5 years, but only 25% of firms consider their business digitally advanced today;
• the top challenges faced by businesses in this year: managing distributed resources (59%), streamlining processes and delivering projects remotely (57%), managing project information and tracking time spent on project tasks (48%).

The Clarity study serves as a roadmap for firms to understand the state of the A&E marketplace and provides detailed insight and analysis into technology trends, financial statements, business development, project management, and human capital management.

The report will be useful to owners and executives of architectural and engineering companies.
