The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing deployment of AI-driven sheetrock robots, adoption of multi-functional installation systems, expansion of on-site robotics solutions, development of connected and sensor-enabled robots, growth in automated drywall workflows. Major trends in the forecast period include deployment of AI-assisted drywall placement robots, integration of robotic lifting and alignment systems, adoption of smart control and sensor modules, expansion of automated finishing and fastening solutions, development of connected sheetrock installation platforms.

The growing volume of construction activities is expected to drive the expansion of the robotic sheetrock installer market. Construction activity involves planning, designing, and executing tasks such as building, repairing, or renovating residential, commercial, industrial, and infrastructure projects. This increase is largely fueled by rapid urbanization, as expanding cities require additional housing, transportation networks, and public infrastructure to accommodate rising populations. Robotic sheetrock installers aid the construction process by automating repetitive tasks such as lifting, aligning, and fastening drywall sheets. These machines enhance productivity, reduce labor costs, minimize physical strain on workers, and improve overall job site safety. For example, in February 2024, the United States Census Bureau reported that private construction in 2023 was valued at $1.54 trillion, representing a 4.7 percent increase from $1.47 trillion in 2022. Nonresidential construction alone reached $676 billion, a 21.9 percent rise from $554.5 billion in 2022, highlighting the growing demand for automated solutions such as robotic sheetrock installers.

Companies in the robotic sheetrock installer market are developing advanced solutions such as compact drywall finishing robots to improve productivity and safety on construction sites. These small, automated machines efficiently apply joint compound and finish drywall surfaces, reducing manual labor, enhancing safety, and delivering consistent results even in tight or medium-sized spaces. In October 2024, Canvas Construction Inc., a US-based construction technology firm, introduced the 1200CX, a compact drywall finishing robot designed for confined areas such as multifamily and tower projects. Measuring approximately 30 by 35 inches and weighing 1,200 pounds, it features all-wheel steering for maneuverability, is battery-powered for full-day operation, and can perform multiple finishing functions including spraying and sanding at Level 4 and Level 5 finishes. The 1200CX aims to shorten drywall finishing time from five days to two, reduce worker fatigue and safety risks, and provide high-quality finishes regardless of operator skill.

In May 2023, Canvas Construction Inc. partnered with USG Corporation to advance automated drywall finishing solutions. This collaboration combines USG’s expertise in building materials with Canvas’s robotic technology to enhance efficiency, worker safety, and the quality of drywall finishes while addressing challenges such as labor shortages and project delays. USG Corporation is a US-based manufacturer of building materials and innovative construction solutions.
