Construction Robots Market Growth & Trends

The global construction robots market size is anticipated to reach USD 3.66 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 18.0% from 2025 to 2030. The global adoption of advanced construction robot technologies has been prompted by the need for more environmentally friendly and affordable construction with reduced environmental impact and skills & labor. However, only a few construction firms have currently adopted robotic automation, indicating that market players have a significant opportunity to transform the industry through innovative and advanced product launches. Furthermore, due to the security risks of the construction industry and the increasing number of fatal accidents, there is a growing need for the adoption of robotic automation systems.

Construction tasks' inherent complexity, labor-intensive work models, and uniqueness of design necessitate significant human expertise and effort. These construction industry challenges can be overcome by developing computer vision and implementing advanced technologies such as machine learning and artificial intelligence to increase the efficiency and automation capacity of construction robots.

The COVID-19 pandemic has hastened the pace of modernization across the construction industry, especially due to the urgency of the construction of hospitals owing to the shortage of bed capacity. Although the adoption of construction robots during the pandemic was minimal, there was a huge positive impact on awareness regarding the adoption of robotic automation technologies due to its multiple benefits.

Construction Robots Market Report Highlights

• Based on function, the material handling segment accounted for the major revenue share of 32.7% in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at the highest CAGR of 18.0% over the forecast period. Surged adoption of automation technologies to reduce labor costs and increase workload management efficiency is attributed to the segment growth
