Collaborative Robots are witnessing a significant growth in the market and estimated to grow at a CAGR of 21.44% in the forecast period due the ongoing construction projects in which reinovation and new commercial buildings are an essential part. In October 2019, Torxx Kinetic partnered with Waste Robotics. Through this partnership Torxx Kinetic deployed their material processor in Atlanta. Waste Robotics supplied three WR- C&D sorting robots to sort construction and demolision of waste. In Novermber 2019, an agreement was finalized between Brock Rentals, Inc. and Brokk. Through this partnership Brock Rentals was supposed to upgrade the rental company’s fleet of remote-controlled demolition units with 12 next-generation models, including Brokk 110s, 170s, 200s, and 300s. These partnerships and Agreements fuel the growth of the market. A small Barcelona based startup Scaled Robotics raised a stake of $2.42 Million led by Norwegian Construct Venture and PropTech Fund Surplus in 2019. This funding brought opportunity for the construction robots owing to increase in construction activities in the European region.

Construction Robots Market Segment Analysis – By Application 

By Application the market is segmented into Public and Infrastructure, Commercial, Residential and Others. The commercial sector is witnessing a significant growth in the market and are growing at a CAGR of 18.52% in the forecast period owing to the urbanization, investments in repairing and construction of the buildings, emerging economies and others. The moving robots carry loads and hence reduces the human efforts in the construction activities. On 9th Feb 2018, Fanuc Corporation acquired Tokyo based company Life Robotics Inc. Through this acquisition Fanuc Corporation aimed to implement technologically advanced robots to Life Robotics. Fanuc Corporation expanded its presence in Europe with a total installation of 400,000 construction robots. The governmental investments and upcoming projects are anticipated to further boost the market in the forecast period.

Construction Robots Market Segment Analysis – Geography

By Geography the Construction Robot Market is dominated by APAC with a market share 36.52% in 2020. APAC is dominating the market owing to the growth of construction activities, growth of the smart cities and others. In countries, China, being a hub for all the construction projects and infrastructural projects. According to National Development and Reform Commission, in China post the COVID-19 pandemic all the major railway projects and waterways projects have resumed with 97% of the major highway projects and 87% of the waterways projects resuming the construction projects. In these public infrastructure the construction robots are very well suited as they are equipped with modular gripper which enables holding, tightening, handling and releasing of objects reducing the manual-intensive labor. These have increased the opportunity for robotic manipulator applications in these countries such as China, Japan, South Korea and others. In India, large percentage of infrastructural projects are managed and financed by the government owing to which there is rapid growth in commercial areas and residential areas resulting in the growth of the market.

Construction Robots Market Drivers

Growth of the construction activities

Due to the growth of construction activities there is demand for these construction robots. Due to the high urban population and high development in the regions such as India, China, Japan and others infrastructure the residential and commercial sectors are facing huge development. Many accidents have been reported in these due to the problems with the old buildings which have called for stricter regulations and codes. Many legislation have been introduced regarding repair of old buildings and construction of new ones as well in terms of safety standards and to increase awareness among customer with respect to technological and safety improvements. This creates a high opportunity for modernization processes in which the construction robots are used for various applications such as bricklaying, painting, loading and bulldozing. According to the U.S States Census Bureau, total investment of $1,355,189 million was made in construction works in U.S. among which $534,170 million were residential and $467,719 million were non-residential investments in June 2020. These construction activities have driven the growth of the market.

Technological Advancements have led to the introduction of advanced construction robots

The technological advancements have led to the introduction of advanced robots that are responsible to carry huge loads and complete a sort of work in very less time. India is ranked third in the world in implementing robots in its construction processes according to the statistics prompted by the International Federation of Robotics. The application of these robotics has increased by 60% in construction industry in year 2020 compared to 2016. Due to the technological advancement these robots have joint torque sensors in each axes with no requirement of external sensors. Climbing robots are introduced nowadays for the construction of tall buildings. The demand for such robots are projected to propel the growth of the market owing to the several advantages for instance highly efficient, powerful, flexible and versatile nature.
