Construction Robots Market Growth Drivers and Challenges:
Growth Drivers
- Adoption of Collaborative Robots - The adoption of collaborative robots will be driven by an increase in the focus of building companies on reducing material resources and waste during construction. In addition, Autodesk points out that it is difficult to obtain precise data on waste produced at a typical construction site, but several construction organizations believe that almost 30% of the total weight of building materials transported to a construction site is wasted.
- Installation of Robots to Save Time - The growth of robots in the construction sector will be facilitated by shortening project durations. It can be used for a variety of flexible manufacturing processes, e.g. by material transportation, welding, milling, cutting, drilling, painting, and even bricklaying.
- Increasing Demand for Automated Construction - Automated building solutions are expected to become a key driver in the years ahead, as infrastructure needs increase and they will be an important influence on the market. For the sake of an expected 7 billion people living in cities, Redshift estimates that from now on industry will have to construct 13,000 buildings a day by 2050. Moreover, collaborative robots are used for performing multiple tasks that need accuracy.
Challenges
- High Maintenance Cost - One of the challenges in the implementation of collaborative robots is the high costs involved in acquiring and maintaining the technology. It costs a great deal of money to buy and implement these technologies. Consequently, these technologies cannot be used by any company with a good turnover and competition on the market.
- Complications in Construction Process
- Lack of Skilled Labour Force
