Robots in the construction industry
ABB sees the construction industry as a new growth market for its robotics business. According to the industrial group, nine out of ten companies intend to rely on solutions from this area in the next few years.
The construction industry is increasingly relying on robots, if the industrial group ABB has its way. The industrial group is therefore also working with ETH, to develop automated construction technologies. According to the Swiss technology company, nine out of ten construction companies want to introduce robots by 2030 to accelerate safety and environmental aspects.
According to industry forecasts, the total value of the construction industry worldwide will increase by 85 percent to $15.5 trillion by 2030. In internal analyses, ABB predicts high double-digit growth rates for the market potential of robotic automation, especially in key areas of construction, including precast and 3D printing. This is likely to be particularly evident over the next decade.
