Robotics in Construction Report Overview
The robotics in construction market report provides detailed insights on the development of robotics in the construction industry along with complete data analysis. The report also focuses on the value chain analysis and the leading robotics vendors and adopters that are impacting the construction industry.
The main types of robots used in construction are caged industrial robots (3D printing, off-site modular construction), industrial co-bots (bricklaying, demolition, materials handling), exoskeletons, drones, and inspection robots. Construction robots can increase safety on construction sites, ensure projects are delivered on time, and help maintain productivity at a time when fewer people are pursuing a career in the construction industry. Moreover, with advances in off-site modular construction and 3D printing of concrete, construction companies can create higher quality, lower cost builds in line with increased environmental regulation.

Robotics in Construction – Impact Analysis
Robotics has been influential in solving some of the most common challenges faced by the construction sector across the globe. For instance, the construction industry is seeing an increase in the development and use of robots and automated machines to undertake dangerous, repetitive, or difficult tasks. This has been driven by the need to increase productivity and improve working conditions through applications that limit workers’ exposure to safety hazards.
Furthermore, the deployment of robotics in the construction sector is likely to resolve the challenges of various stakeholders from the construction sector. With more and more construction projects becoming increasingly complicated, spanning across large areas and employing a range of external contractors, the use of robotics will aid market growth. Drones and robots can quickly bring contractors up to speed with the site and the state of the project. Inspection robots can create 3D site models to provide site tours and navigation, reducing onboarding time. Drones can also be used to track material use, ensuring project managers can see how close a project is to completion.
Robotics in Construction – Data Analysis
The robotics industry is worth $45.3 billion in 2020 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of more than 28% during 2020 – 2030. Exoskeletons, industrial robots, and consumer robots will be the fastest-growing robotics segments between 2020 and 2030. Construction was among the first industries to recognize the potential of drones to aid in virtual design and construction (VDC). VDC provides architects and engineers with a new method of visualizing and analyzing structural requirements from different perspectives. Several industrial firms in the construction segment already deploy drones within visual line of sight (VLOS) for their daily operations.

Robotics in Construction - Value Chain Analysis
The robotics industry value chain consists of four segments: hardware components, software components, robot manufacturing, and robotics as a service.
Robot Manufacturing: Industrial robots are typically housed in safety cages as they lack sensory intelligence, making them too dangerous to be placed near workers for fear of injury. China is the key growth driver for the industrial robot sector due to the accelerating automation in the Chinese manufacturing sector and the retooling of its automotive factories. Growth in the market is also driven by increasing demand for automation in industries other than automotive, especially electronics. The long-term prospects for growth in industrial robotics are good. However, robot prices are likely to fall, especially as the leading Chinese industrial robot makers such as Estun and Siasun increase their presence outside their home market.
