Construction robot market for exoskeleton to grow at highest CAGR during forecast period 

The market for exoskeleton is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The high growth of this segment can be attributed to the fact that most of the construction companies are expected to adopt exoskeletons for their workers to address the issue of labor shortage. The deployment of exoskeletons is likely to help workers to perform heavy work easily; hence, the use of exoskeleton is expected to improve work environment at construction sites.

Semi-autonomous construction robots held larger share of overall market in 2017 

The semi-autonomous construction robots held a larger share of ~67.1% of the overall construction robot market in 2017. The need for broader and more efficient infrastructure, and improved infrastructure monitoring for predictive and corrective maintenance are the factors driving the market for the semi-autonomous construction robots.

Europe is major consumer of construction robots 

Europe accounted for a major share of the overall construction robot market in 2017. The largest size of the European construction robot market is attributed to the large facilities of various companies for the development and production of the construction and demolition robots, increasing number of government regulations, and growing need for the residential and non-residential construction projects. Also, the European construction market is expected to grow tremendously in the coming years. The high rate of industrialization has increased the extent of construction activities in the region, leading to increasing demand for advanced construction equipment, such as robots.
