Construction robotics involves using automated machines and robotic systems in the construction industry to perform tasks traditionally carried out by human workers. These robots can handle activities such as building, demolition, bricklaying, concrete pouring, welding, and inspection and surveying. Designed to replace human labor, construction robots aim to improve productivity, precision, safety, and efficiency in construction projects.
The main types of construction robotics include demolition, bricklaying, 3D printing, surveillance, concrete structural erection, finishing work, and doors and windows installation. Demolition robots are used for controlled tearing down or destroying of buildings and structures. These robots are available through various sales channels, including new sales and aftermarket options. They are utilized by different end-users, such as residential, industrial, and commercial sectors.
The construction robotics market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides construction robotics market statistics, including construction robotics industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a construction robotics market share, detailed construction robotics market segments, market trends, and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the construction robotics industry. This construction robotics market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The construction robotics market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $5.5 $ billion in 2024 to $6.55 $ billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the increasing focus of construction organizations on reducing the wastage of building resources, rising labor costs, the rising deployment of robotics in the construction industry, growing pressure to complete construction projects faster, and government regulations and safety concerns.
The construction robotics market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $12.99 $ billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to an upsurge in construction activities, the increase in construction of residential and commercial sectors, growth of the emerging economies, investments in the construction activities, and increasing focus on worker safety. Major trends in the forecast period include the development of new technologies, Integration with intelligent control systems, integration with artificial intelligence (AI), incorporating machine learning (ML), and technologically advanced robots.
The growth of the construction robotics market is expected to be driven by the increasing construction activity in the residential sector. The residential sector encompasses areas designated for living spaces, such as homes and apartments. The rise in residential construction is attributed to factors such as increased productivity, labor shortage solutions, enhanced safety, and the reduction of construction time and costs. Construction robots provide uniformity and precision, ensuring that construction standards are consistently met across all projects, while improving the efficiency, safety, and overall quality of residential construction. For example, in March 2024, the Australian Bureau of Statistics, an Australia-based government agency, reported that private new house dwellings reached 30,992 units in 2023, reflecting a 3.7% increase from December and a 14.6% increase from March 2023. Additionally, private and other residential completions rose to 14,844 dwellings, a 5.6% increase compared to December 2023. These trends in residential construction are driving the expansion of the construction robotics market.
Key players in the construction robotics market are focusing on developing innovative solutions, such as rebar-installing robots, to enhance automation, improve efficiency and precision, and reduce the labor-intensive nature of construction tasks. Rebar-installing robots are specialized machines designed to automate the placement and securing of steel reinforcing bars (rebar) in concrete structures, increasing the efficiency, accuracy, and safety of construction projects. For instance, in March 2023, Advanced Construction Robotics (ACR), a US-based manufacturer of construction robots, introduced IronBOT, the first robot specifically engineered for lifting, carrying, and placing rebar. IronBOT is designed to assist construction crews by automating the physically demanding task of rebar installation. It can lift and place rebar bundles in both transverse and longitudinal orientations, eliminating the need for manual heavy lifting by workers.
In January 2023, Built Robotics, a US-based startup specializing in automating construction equipment through advanced software and hardware solutions, acquired Roin Technologies for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is intended to accelerate Built's roadmap for the automation of construction equipment. Roin Technologies is a US-based company that manufactures construction robots.
