By End User, the Construction and Engineering Segment held the Larger Market Share, and it would continue on this Path during the Forecast Period

The construction and engineering segment dominated the market share and is expected to maintain its leading position throughout the forecast period owing to the inherent risks associated with its operations and the increasing emphasis on regulatory compliance and worker safety. Construction projects often involve complex processes, heavy machinery, and hazardous work environments, making EHS management critical for preventing accidents, injuries, and environmental harm. EHS solutions provide construction and engineering firms with tools and frameworks to assess, monitor, and mitigate risks related to workplace safety, environmental impact, and regulatory compliance. By implementing robust EHS programs, organizations can improve worker safety, reduce incidents, and avoid costly fines and litigation. Moreover, as sustainability becomes a key focus in the construction industry, EHS solutions enable firms to adhere to environmental regulations, minimize their ecological footprint, and implement sustainable practices throughout the project lifecycle. With the growing recognition of the importance of EHS in safeguarding both people and the planet, the demand for EHS solutions in the construction and engineering segment is expected to continue rising, driving innovation and investment in this space.
