Nemetschek Group has outlined expectations for continued double-digit revenue growth and improved profitability in 2026, as it accelerates the integration of AI across its platform and product ecosystem.
The company reported a strong financial performance in 2025, with revenue exceeding €1bn for the first time, supported by growth in subscription and SaaS models and contributions from recent acquisitions. The shift towards recurring revenue continues to underpin the group’s operating model, with recurring income now accounting for over 90% of total revenue.
For 2026, Nemetschek expects revenue growth in the range of 14% to 15%, alongside an EBITDA margin of between 32% and 33%, reflecting ongoing operational efficiencies and platform scalability.
“We are evolving from a leading vertical software provider into a vertical AI leader in our industries. With our deep domain expertise, data access across the building life cycle, network effect and close integration into our customers’ workflows, artificial intelligence is amplifying the innovation that drives our success. It enhances our solutions, unlocks new growth potential across the construction and infrastructure life cycle, and delivers internal efficiency gains.”
Yves Padrines, CEO, Nemetschek Group
He added that AI is expanding the group’s addressable market and supporting a broader shift towards higher-margin, scalable growth.
“We are well positioned to lead this next era of profitable growth and innovation.”

A central focus of the company’s strategy is the continued expansion of its AI capabilities across design, build and asset management workflows. This includes the rollout of agent-based tools, analytics and automation features embedded across its software portfolio, alongside the development of a group-wide AI and data innovation hub.
The business has also expanded its AI footprint through targeted acquisitions and venture investments, including transactions involving Firmus AI and Manufacton, as well as investments in emerging construction technology platforms. Strategic partnerships with academic institutions and technology providers, including Google Cloud, are also supporting product development and research.
Growth in 2025 was led by strong performance in the Build segment, alongside continued momentum in design and subscription-based services. The company also progressed its international expansion, strengthening its presence in markets including India and Saudi Arabia.
Across the construction and infrastructure sectors, Nemetschek’s outlook reflects a broader shift towards digitalisation, as operators respond to increasing project complexity, sustainability requirements and labour constraints. AI is expected to play a growing role in improving productivity, automating workflows and enhancing decision-making across the asset lifecycle.
With continued investment in AI, SaaS and global expansion, the group is positioning itself to capture long-term growth as digital transformation accelerates across the built environment.
