Construction Workflow Automation Market Report 2025

The construction workflow automation market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $4.34 billion in 2024 to $4.78 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.2%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to the rising demand for automation, expanding digital transformation initiatives, increasing need for efficiency, growing adoption of BIM, and the surge in cloud-based solutions.

The construction workflow automation market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.95 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.8%. The growth during the forecast period can be attributed to the expanding needs of a mobile workforce, increasing project complexity, rising labor cost pressures, a growing focus on compliance, and the increasing use of AI. Key trends in the forecast period include advancements in AI-powered tools, improvements in real-time analytics, integration of BIM platforms, connectivity with ERP systems, and technologies enabling remote collaboration.

The increasing focus on sustainability and green construction practices is expected to drive growth in the construction workflow automation market moving forward. Green construction practices involve environmentally responsible and resource-efficient methods applied throughout a building’s lifecycle - from design and construction to operation and demolition - to reduce environmental impact. These practices are gaining momentum due to stricter environmental regulations that encourage the adoption of sustainable and energy-efficient building techniques. Construction workflow automation supports these goals by optimizing processes, minimizing material waste, and enabling data-driven decisions for environmentally friendly project execution. For example, in July 2024, the Green Building Council, a US-based nonprofit, reported that over 46,000 residential projects in the US were certified under the LEED green building rating system in 2024, with new LEED residential project registrations rising nearly 5% in 2023. Thus, the growing emphasis on sustainability and green construction is boosting the construction workflow automation market.

Key companies in the construction workflow automation market are focusing on innovative cloud-based financial automation solutions that provide automatic updates and secure data backups. Cloud-based solutions operate over the internet using remote servers, allowing users to access and manage data without relying on on-site hardware or software. For example, in May 2024, Sage, a UK-based software firm, launched Sage Intacct Paperless, a cloud-based tool designed to automate and streamline Accounts Payable (AP) workflows for the construction sector. This solution integrates seamlessly as an add-on to Sage Intacct Construction, the company’s native cloud financial management system tailored for construction. It reduces manual, paper-heavy tasks and enhances automation throughout the construction project lifecycle.

In January 2023, Trimble, a US-based technology company, acquired Ryvit for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to resolve longstanding industry challenges caused by siloed data and disconnected technology systems by enabling seamless integration and real-time information sharing among project teams. Ryvit’s platform facilitates communication between widely used construction applications and data sources, ensuring critical information flows smoothly across teams and organizations. Ryvit is a US-based provider of construction workflow automation solutions.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s recommendations and conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the construction sector, particularly in materials procurement and project costs. Higher duties on imported steel, aluminum, lumber, and machinery have driven up expenses for builders, contractors, and infrastructure developers, leading to increased project bids and delayed timelines. Construction equipment manufacturers face similar challenges, with tariffs on essential components and raw materials inflating production costs and squeezing margins. Additionally, retaliatory tariffs in international markets have curtailed exports of U.S.-made construction equipment and materials, further affecting profitability. The sector must now prioritize local sourcing, modular construction techniques, and supply chain diversification to control costs and ensure project viability amid ongoing trade uncertainties.

Construction workflow automation involves the use of digital tools and technologies to streamline, standardize, and optimize processes in construction projects - such as scheduling, approvals, documentation, and resource management. Its goal is to reduce manual effort, minimize errors, and enhance project efficiency and team collaboration.

The main components of construction workflow automation include solutions and services. Solutions refer to software tools that automate various construction tasks such as project planning, document sharing, scheduling, and progress tracking. These solutions can be deployed both on-premises and in the cloud, serving small and medium enterprises (SMEs) as well as large organizations. They are applied across project management, design and planning, construction management, operations and maintenance, and other areas, and are used by a range of end users including general contractors, subcontractors, owners, architects, engineers, and others.
