Construction robots—ranging from demolition units and robotic arms to exoskeletons—bring repeatability, precision, and safer work practices to job sites. Stratview Research estimates the global construction robots market at USD 155.41 million in 2022 and projects it to reach USD 327.94 million by 2029, reflecting an 11.3% CAGR (2023–2029). The study segments the market by type (Traditional, Robotic Arm, Exoskeleton), automation (Fully autonomous, Semi-autonomous), function (Demolition, Bricklaying, 3D Printing, Concrete Structural Erection, Finishing Work, Doors & Windows Installation), application (Public Infrastructure; Commercial & Residential Buildings; Nuclear Dismantling & Demolition), and region.

Drivers

• Rapid urbanization and infrastructure build-out. Stratview flags urban population growth (with Asia expected to house a majority of the world’s urban residents by 2050) as a structural demand engine for mechanized and automated construction methods.
• Safety and productivity imperatives. Robots take on hazardous or repetitive tasks—demolition, heavy lifts, precision finishing—reducing injury risk and improving cycle time and quality on site.
• Rising adoption of automation. The report highlights accelerating automation across masonry prefabrication, precast, timber and steel components, and even on-site material production—opening the door for specialized robots and automated systems.

Trends

• Function mix: structural robots rise fastest. Concrete structural erection is identified as the highest-CAGR function through 2029, reflecting the push to mechanize complex, high-precision structural tasks.
• Application hotspots: hazardous-area work scales. Within applications, nuclear dismantling & demolition is expected to post the highest CAGR, as operators limit human exposure and leverage remote, robotic capability.
• Region: APAC outpaces. Asia-Pacific is projected to record the highest regional CAGR, supported by rapid urbanization, 3D-printing adoption in construction, and a dense robotics manufacturing base in China and Japan.
• Product news: steady innovation cadence. Recent launches include Brokk’s Surface Grinder 530 attachment and Husqvarna’s upgraded DXR demolition robots, both aimed at faster, safer removal and demolition workflows.

Conclusion

With cities expanding and job-site safety and productivity under the microscope, construction robotics is shifting from pilot to program. Expect the market to double by 2029, led by robots for concrete structural erection, rising deployments in nuclear decommissioning, and faster adoption across Asia-Pacific. Vendors that pair ruggedized hardware with job-specific tooling and support services will be best positioned to capture the next wave of growth.
