From 2018 to 2025, more than 7,000 robot assistants, infrastructure robots, structural robots and finishing robots will be deployed globally for construction.

The construction industry has always been a labor-intensive industry with a low degree of automation. The traditional solution to achieve more production is to simply add more workers. While productivity in many other industries has increased significantly, productivity in the construction industry has remained almost flat because until recently not much technology was developed or introduced.

The industry is ripe for disruption, with more construction companies integrating robots to address labor shortages and benefit from increased speed, efficiency, safety and profits, according to a new report from Tractica . Robots are starting to perform a variety of construction tasks, promising to change the way industry builds homes, buildings and other infrastructure.

Tractica predicts that growing interest in construction robots will drive market revenue from $22.7 million in 2018 to $226 million in 2025 . During this period, more than 7,000 construction robots will be deployed around the world to perform various construction and demolition tasks. The largest market in terms of unit shipments will be robotic assistants used on construction sites, followed by infrastructure robots, structural robots, and finishing robots.
