The AI in construction market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $9.48 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 33.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to smart city development initiatives, demand for cost optimized construction, expansion of AI driven site monitoring, adoption of digital twins, increasing sustainability regulations. Major trends in the forecast period include predictive project scheduling, AI based safety monitoring, smart construction site analytics, automated risk assessment, energy efficiency optimization.

The rise in infrastructure projects is anticipated to drive the growth of artificial intelligence (AI) in the construction market in the future. An infrastructure project involves developing new road systems or significantly modifying an existing network that impacts traffic flow. AI plays a crucial role in infrastructure projects by utilizing advanced technologies and algorithms to enhance various aspects of the project lifecycle, enabling more efficient design, planning, operation, and management of construction initiatives. Consequently, the adoption of AI in the construction sector is expected to increase as the industry seeks innovative solutions to address the demands of infrastructure development. For example, in September 2024, the United States Census Bureau, a government agency, reported that construction spending in July 2024 was estimated at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $2.16 trillion, which is 6.7% (±1.8%) higher than the July 2023 estimate of $2.02 trillion. During this time, construction spending reached $1.23 trillion, reflecting an 8.8% (±1.2%) increase compared to the $1.13 trillion spent in the same period in 2023. Therefore, the increase in infrastructure projects is propelling the growth of artificial intelligence (AI) in the construction market moving forward.

Major companies in the AI in construction market are focusing on developing AI-powered workflow automation tools to streamline processes across architecture, engineering, construction, and operations (AEC/O). AI-powered workflow automation tools automate routine tasks, optimize project workflows, and enhance decision-making, improving collaboration and operational efficiency. For example, in January 2025, Nemetschek Group, a Germany-based AEC/O software provider, launched an AI assistant to optimize workflows for architects, engineers, and construction professionals. The assistant integrates with Nemetschek’s software ecosystem, automating documentation, improving design coordination, enhancing model quality, and providing real-time project insights through generative and predictive AI capabilities.

In August 2024, Turner Construction, a US-based international construction firm specializing in project and construction management, acquired Dornan Engineering Group for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Turner Construction aims to broaden its presence in Europe and enhance its capabilities in the advanced technology sector, particularly in data centers and biopharmacy facilities. Dornan Engineering Group, an Ireland-based construction company, utilizes AI to optimize project planning, improve safety, and enhance cost estimation, fostering efficiency and innovation in construction.
