North America has long been the dominant region in the global architectural services market with 34.3% share in 2024. With some of the world's largest architectural firms based in major cities like New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles, the industry presence and reputation of North American companies is unparalleled globally. Many iconic buildings around the world were designed by American architects, cementing their leadership in modern architecture.

While the scale and experience of North American firms gives them an advantage, their pricing is generally on the higher side compared to other regions. However, clients are willing to pay this premium for the brand name, cutting edge designs and proven track record that these firms offer. Exports of architectural services have been a major revenue generator for the region. Many firms also have overseas offices that allow them to better serve international clients.

The Asia Pacific region has emerged as the fastest growing market for architectural services in recent years. Rapid urbanization and infrastructure development across developing nations like China, India and Indonesia have spurred tremendous demand for architecture and construction. Given the enormous addressed market, many regional and global players have been aggressively expanding their operations in Asia Pacific.

Countries in Asia Pacific offer lower costs for architectural work compared to mature markets. Local firms in particular have been able to leverage their familiarity with regional building practices and lower wage structures to drive growth. While quality and brand reputation still lag the benchmark set by Western giants, Asian architectural talent is fast catching up by taking on ambitious and high-profile projects both domestic and abroad. Growing exports of construction materials and building components from the region have further complemented this expansion.
