12th Customs & Trade Compliance Asia Summit 2026

The real estate and construction sector is undergoing a major transformation, driven by rapid urbanization, sustainability demands, and the adoption of advanced technologies. Contributing nearly 13% to global GDP, the industry stands at a critical inflection point. In India, the sector is projected to reach US$ 1 trillion by 2030, accounting for around 13% of GDP, with the urban population expected to exceed 600 million by 2031-fueling demand for faster, smarter, and more sustainable construction.

At the same time, the global construction technology (ConTech) market is expected to surpass US$ 35-40 billion by 2030, powered by digital transformation and innovations such as BIM, AI, IoT, digital twins, and modular construction. However, persistent challenges like cost overruns, delays, and productivity gaps remain, with large projects often taking 20% longer and costing up to 80% more than planned-underscoring the urgent need for innovation-led change.

The Construction Technology & Innovations Summit 2026 will bring together real estate developers, construction firms, technology providers, urban planners, and policymakers to explore how emerging technologies can enhance efficiency, reduce risks, and improve lifecycle value in real estate development. The summit will focus on digital transformation, sustainable construction, smart buildings, risk management, and future-ready infrastructure, enabling stakeholders to unlock new opportunities in a rapidly evolving ecosystem.
