Strong growth in building construction and in oil and gas extraction has a positive impact on surveying and mapping services in 2022
Operating revenue for the surveying and mapping services industries increased 9.8% to $2.8 billion in 2022. Surveying and mapping services have strong ties to capital investments. Investment in building construction, for all types (industrial, commercial and institutional), strongly increased in 2022. Furthermore, the growth in capital expenditures in oil and gas extraction more than doubled to 43.9% in 2022, bolstering demand for surveying and mapping services at a time when pressures from the residential housing sector were levelling off. Housing starts eased from 271,198 units in 2021 to 261,849 units in 2022.
