Dublin, Aug. 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Construction Robots Market Size Analysis Report - Market Share, Forecast Trends and Outlook (2025-2034)" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global construction robots market is poised for significant growth, with an estimated CAGR of 17.50% from 2025 to 2034. Major factors driving this expansion include the rise in construction activities, increasing urbanization in developing countries, and efforts to reduce construction costs.

Construction Robots Market Analysis

The construction robots market is primarily driven by labor shortages, rising labor costs, and the push for enhanced productivity and safety on construction sites. Robotics are becoming essential tools due to their ability to automate tasks such as bricklaying, welding, and demolition, thereby reducing the dependency on human labor. Reports from the International Federation of Robotics highlight a 20% annual increase in robot deployment, particularly in developed markets, contributing to market revenue growth.

In the United States, where the construction industry faces a shortage of approximately 430,000 workers, robotic solutions are bridging the gap by automating labor-intensive tasks. For instance, a bricklaying robot can place up to 1,000 bricks per hour versus 300-500 bricks by a human worker. Additionally, autonomous earth-moving robots expedite tasks like trench digging by up to 50%. The use of construction robots not only enhances productivity but also addresses safety concerns by operating in hazardous environments, leading to a 25% reduction in injury rates on some projects.

Construction Robots Market Trends

Growing Adoption of Autonomous Robots

The adoption of autonomous and semi-autonomous machinery, driven by advances in AI and sensor technology, is a key trend. These robots, such as those by Built Robotics, can perform tasks like grading with minimal human intervention, increasing project efficiency by approximately 35%. The global deployment of over 1,000 autonomous construction robots in 2023 demonstrates this trend's impact on reducing human labor reliance and enhancing precision and productivity on large-scale projects.

Increased Adoption of Exoskeletons

Robotic exoskeletons are increasingly used to enhance worker productivity and safety. These wearable robots assist with heavy lifting and extended physical tasks, allowing workers to lift 40% heavier loads with less strain. Companies like Ekso Bionics and Sarcos Robotics are leading the adoption of these devices, contributing to a 15% annual growth in the exoskeleton market within construction.

Industry News

October 2024

At the ICBA Construction Innovation Summit, robotics expert Dr. Tessa Lau emphasized the importance of shifting focus from mere productivity to enhancing quality. She highlighted how robots improve communication and collaboration, reducing job site errors and waste.

October 2024 Amazon's new warehouse in Shreveport, Louisiana, showcases advanced robotic systems like Proteus and Sparrow, which are designed to assist rather than replace human workers. This facility will employ 2,500 people and integrate robotics in key production areas.

Opportunities in Construction Robots Market

Significant opportunities abound as the demand for sustainable building practices grows, particularly in areas facing labor shortages and rising costs. For instance, 3D printing robots by ICON can construct homes in under 24 hours, using less material and generating 60% less waste than traditional methods. Key infrastructure projects worldwide, including those in China, are leveraging robotic technology to expedite development, reduce costs, and improve safety.

Construction Robots Market Restraints

The market faces restraints due to high initial investment and maintenance costs, deterring broader adoption, particularly among smaller firms. The investment for robots, such as autonomous excavators, ranges from USD 150,000 to USD 500,000 per unit. Furthermore, a 15% increase in training costs poses additional challenges. Such financial constraints delay or prevent robotics adoption, especially in cost-sensitive regions like Southeast Asia.

Construction Robots Market Dynamics and Segmentation

Innovations in reducing material wastage and enhancing worker safety are pivotal. Robots offer precision that minimizes material wastage by up to 25%, which significantly cuts costs on large projects. Additionally, the use of robotics in lifting heavy loads accounts for a reduction in injuries, promoting workplace safety.

Key market segmentation includes robot types, functions, automation levels, applications, and regional insights. Autonomous systems, robotic arms, and exoskeletons are driving market growth, with exoskeletons seeing a 15% annual rate increase. North America leads in adoption, driven by high labor costs and a focus on safety, while the Asia Pacific emerges as the fastest-growing market, driven by urbanization demands.

Leading players in the construction robots market are focusing on automation and robotics advancements, with companies like ABB Ltd., Advanced Construction Robotics, and Brokk AB, among others, playing critical roles. Recent developments include Advanced Construction Robotics' launch of TyBOT 3.0, demonstrating the ongoing innovation and adoption in the industry.
