Construction robotics refers to the automated and semi-automated robotic systems designed to perform tasks traditionally undertaken by human labor on construction sites. These robots are employed by general contractors, specialty contractors, skilled tradespeople and project developers to carry out operations ranging from heavy-duty demolition and concrete erection to precision finishing, surveillance and inspection, bricklaying and more.
The construction robotics market consists of sales by entities (organizations, sole traders and partnerships) of construction robotics that are used throughout all phases of building and infrastructure projects, from site preparation through structural assembly, facade construction, interior finishing and final installation works, serving both new build and renovation contexts.
The global construction robotics market was valued at $1,844.25 million in 2019 which grew till 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of more than 10.00%.
Growth In Residential And Commercial Construction
Growth in residential and commercial construction fueled the growth of the construction robotics in the historic period. The growth in residential and commercial construction is accelerating the demand for construction robotics as developers seek faster, safer and more cost-effective building solutions. Rising project volumes, labor shortages and tighter deadlines are pushing the industry to adopt robotic systems for tasks like drywall finishing, bricklaying, 3D printing and material handling. These technologies enhance productivity, ensure consistent quality and reduce on-site risks, making them especially valuable in large-scale residential and commercial developments. As construction activity continues to surge globally, robotics are becoming essential tools for meeting the demands of modern building environments. For instance, in October 2024, according to CBRE Group Inc., a US-based a commercial real estate services and investments company, in 2024, the residential sector achieved an impressive 302,867 unit sales, reflecting an 11% growth compared to the previous year. Additionally, in November 2023, according to G2.com, a US-based peer-to-peer review site, expenditures on commercial buildings reached $128 billion in July 2023, an 11% increase from the year before. Therefore, the increased prevalence of infectious diseases drove the growth of the construction robotics market.
AI-Powered Robotic Construction System Transforms Building Design
Major companies operating in the construction robotics market are focusing on integration of artificial intelligence to enhance automation, improve decision-making, optimize construction workflows and increase overall efficiency and safety on job sites. Artificial intelligence is the ability of machines to mimic human intelligence for tasks like learning, reasoning and problem-solving. For instance, In June 2025, All3, a UK-based construction technology company, launched the building system with integrated artificial intelligence and robotics. It features an AI-driven design platform that collaborates with architects to generate site-specific, regulation-compliant building plans optimized for space and function. These designs are directly converted into robot-executable instructions, enabling automated off-site fabrication of structural components like walls and beams using standardized timber-based elements. The system also includes a mobile robotic platform equipped with interchangeable tools capable of handling multiple on-site tasks through reinforcement learning. By unifying design, manufacturing and assembly in a single automated workflow, this system significantly cuts construction time, reduces labor dependency, lowers costs and enhances sustainability in building projects.
The global construction robotics market is concentrated, with large players operating in the market. The top 10 competitors in the market made up 26.14% of the total market in 2024.
