Market Overview:

The global construction robots market reached a value of US$ 109.9 Billion in 2021. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 275.4 Billion by 2027, exhibiting a CAGR of 16.9% during 2022-2027. Keeping in mind the uncertainties of COVID-19, we are continuously tracking and evaluating the direct as well as the indirect influence of the pandemic on different end use sectors. These insights are included in the report as a major market contributor. 

Construction robots are employed to execute civil engineering projects and perform essential tasks such as positioning, demolishing and tunneling at a construction site. These robots improve productivity by shortening construction time and reducing the overall operational costs. They also enhance workforce safety and security in hazardous working environments. The implementation of construction robots eliminates errors due to human factors such as laziness, fatigue or lack of attention. Specialized robots can work in dark, congested and airless spaces that can be dangerous for humans.

The thriving construction industry, coupled with rapid urbanization, is the key factor driving the growth of the market. Additionally, rising construction of megastructures and high-quality infrastructure has enhanced the requirement of construction robots to counter the shortage of skilled labor. Moreover, technological advancements such as the introduction of 3D printing robots in construction projects are also contributing to the market growth. They are used to design models for bridges and prototypes for buildings that simplify the construction of intricate designs to save time and resources. Furthermore, the rising trend of aerial robotics is also expected to drive the market. These robots include devices such as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) or drones that are extensively used for safety inspections, site surveying, and accessing hazardous zones. Increasing adoption of exoskeleton equipment that includes wearable mechanical suits to lift heavy material, machinery and supplies is also catalyzing the market growth.
