The COVID-19 pandemic, which led to the imposition of lockdowns in several countries, created major disturbances across a range of industries. The lockdown restrictions temporarily halted major infrastructure development activities, hampering the urban planning software and service industry. Nevertheless, the industry is expected to recover rapidly in the near future as restrictions relax. As the pandemic ebbs away and economies recover from the severe loss of revenues and spending on the healthcare sector, governments across the globe are expected to focus on other development activities that were hampered for more than a year.

Urban planning is a development process that encompasses political and technical concerns such as the usage and development of lands, the welfare of societies, and the protection of the environment. Therefore, city planners or urban planners that work with the government or other urban development entities often need tools that help them layout development designs and plans.

The rising availability of open-source software and imbalances in government budgets are expected to hamper the growth of the market. Reluctance to evolve from conventional business models and insufficient institutional planning capacity across various countries are also likely to impede the growth of the market. Nevertheless, factors such as the increasing number of suburban areas and cities, increased investments in smart city technologies and projects, and a budding global IT industry are expected to offer major growth opportunities to the market over the forecast period.
