Robotic Sheet Rock Installer Market Report 2025

The robotic sheet rock installer market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.21 billion in 2024 to $1.38 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.8%. The growth observed during the historical period was driven by increasing demand for construction automation, the need for faster project completion, greater adoption of advanced vision and AI technologies, expanded use of robotics in interior construction, and a heightened focus on precision and quality in drywall installation.

The robotic sheet rock installer market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.37 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.4%. The projected growth during the forecast period is expected to be driven by increasing urbanization and infrastructure development, a growing preference for cost-effective construction methods, wider adoption of modular construction techniques, rising demand for uniform drywall installation quality, and an enhanced focus on cost optimization. Key trends anticipated in this period include the advancement of autonomous drywall installation technologies, the creation of multi-functional construction robots, innovations in lightweight and durable sheetrock materials, progress in AI-powered construction planning, and the development of collaborative workflows between humans and robots.

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.

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.

A robotic sheetrock installer is a sophisticated automated system that combines robotic arms, sensors, and smart control software to lift, position, and secure drywall panels on walls or ceilings with exceptional accuracy. Its primary purpose is to simplify the drywall installation process by reducing labor demands, minimizing mistakes, and enhancing both safety and efficiency on construction sites.

The primary types of robotic sheetrock installers are fully automated and semi-automated systems. Fully automated installers are capable of performing the entire drywall installation process without direct manual intervention. These systems are distributed through direct sales, distributors, online platforms, and other channels. They are used in applications such as residential, commercial, and industrial construction, with key end users including contractors, builders, renovation companies, and similar professionals.
