Construction companies increasingly view artificial intelligence as a practical response to persistent labor shortages, rising project complexity, and growing pressure to deliver projects more efficiently. The industry continues to face a shortage of skilled workers, while the available workforce has not expanded at the same pace as construction demand. AI-powered automation can help companies improve productivity by reducing repetitive work, strengthening project coordination, and supporting faster decision-making. AI technologies can also help contractors manage labor more effectively and reduce periods of underutilized resources. This shift is gradually changing the role of AI from a productivity-supporting technology into an important component of construction workforce planning. Meanwhile, public infrastructure programs are placing greater emphasis on digital project delivery and technology-enabled construction practices, creating additional opportunities for AI adoption. Safety also remains a major concern because construction continues to experience elevated workplace risks. As contractors seek stronger operational control, improved resource allocation, better project visibility, and safer working environments, demand for artificial intelligence in construction solutions is expected to increase substantially through 2035.
The solutions segment held a 74% share in 2025. AI solutions account for the largest portion of the market because they integrate artificial intelligence capabilities directly into construction-related workflows. These offerings support a broad range of activities involving design, planning, monitoring, cost management, resource allocation, and project execution. Growing interest in software-based automation is strengthening demand as construction companies seek to improve productivity, minimize project delays, support more accurate decisions, and manage resources throughout the project lifecycle. Contractors, engineering organizations, and project owners are increasingly incorporating AI-enabled platforms into their digital construction environments. The expanding use of intelligent software also reflects the industry's broader transition toward data-driven project management and automated workflows. As construction businesses continue to modernize their technology infrastructure, AI solutions are expected to maintain their dominant market position.
The commercial construction segment accounted for a 32.3% share in 2025. Commercial projects typically involve complex planning requirements, multiple stakeholders, extensive resource coordination, and demanding completion schedules, creating significant opportunities for AI-based technologies. Construction companies and developers are increasingly using artificial intelligence to improve project planning, estimate costs, optimize schedules, manage digital building information, monitor quality, and strengthen overall project visibility. AI can help project teams process large amounts of construction data and identify potential operational issues at an earlier stage. Technology also supports more efficient coordination across different phases of a project, allowing stakeholders to make decisions based on current project information. Increasing digitalization across commercial construction is therefore supporting the adoption of artificial intelligence and strengthening the segment's position within the overall market.
China Artificial Intelligence in Construction Market accounted for 47% share generating USD 0.4 billion in 2025. The country's leading position reflects the scale of its construction industry and continued activity across residential, commercial, industrial, and infrastructure development. Ongoing urban development and substantial investment in construction modernization are creating a favorable environment for AI-based technologies. Increasing digital transformation across the construction sector is supporting demand for intelligent project management, Building Information Modeling (BIM), computer vision, digital twins, and predictive analytics. China's extensive construction activity provides a substantial addressable market for artificial intelligence solutions even as adoption continues to develop across different areas of the industry. Continued investment in digital construction capabilities, combined with the country's large project pipeline, is expected to provide significant opportunities for AI technology providers throughout the forecast period.
Major companies operating in the global artificial intelligence in construction industry include Autodesk, ALICE Technologies, Trimble, SmartPM, Bentley Systems, nPlan, Procore Technologies, Nemetschek, Trunk Tools, and Document Crunch. Market participants are strengthening their positions in the artificial intelligence in construction market through product innovation, technology development, strategic collaborations, platform expansion, and broader integration with construction workflows. Companies are investing in AI capabilities that improve project planning, data analysis, automation, monitoring, forecasting, and decision-making. Providers are also enhancing software functionality and interoperability to make their platforms easier to integrate with existing construction technology ecosystems. Strategic partnerships allow companies to combine complementary technologies, expand distribution capabilities, and reach additional customer segments. Market participants are also increasing investments in research and development to improve AI accuracy, scalability, automation, and ease of use. Expanding applications across different construction activities provides another avenue for revenue growth and customer acquisition.
