HØNEFOSS, Norway, June 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Nordic construction companies continue to prioritize digitalization, despite a challenging macroeconomic backdrop. According to SmartCraft's newly released Digimeter report for 2025, nearly 70% of respondents say they plan to maintain or increase their investment in digital tools over the next 12 months.
"The fact that so many companies are prioritizing digitalization, even under financial pressure, shows just how critical efficiency, control, and simplification have become," says Gustav Line, CEO of SmartCraft.
The survey, based on 846 responses from professionals in Norway, Sweden, and Finland, shows that confidence in digital tools remains high. 30% of respondents say they plan to increase their investment in the next 12 months, while nearly 70% plan to either maintain or increase it. That's down slightly from 81% and 78% in Digimeter Sweden in 2022 and 2023, but up from 63% in Digimeter Finland from 2024. Meanwhile, the share of companies planning to reduce investment has remained remarkably low at 3.1% in 2025, compared to 1.1%-2.4% in 2022-2024.
Clear business benefits drive adoption
Companies that have already adopted digital solutions report clear operational improvements, including faster invoicing and stronger cash flow, better project tracking and transparency, more efficient documentation and compliance processes, and improved communication across teams and with clients.
87% of respondents say that digital tools help them serve customers better, while 78% confirm that digitalization enhances internal collaboration and reduces misunderstandings.
"This is the fourth time we are conducting the Digimeter survey in the Nordics and it is great to get confirmation from the industry that digitalization can increase their productivity. These companies are challenged by one of the deepest downturns for decades and need to think differently about how they should run their business. Our solutions are good tools to make sure they have good control of their employees, purchasing of materials and documents required in their projects," says Line.
