Artificial Intelligence in Construction Market Trends, Share & Forecast to 2035

The global market for AI in Construction is experiencing a period of explosive growth, but a strategic analysis of the AI in Construction Market Growth Share by Company and by solution type reveals a clear and dynamic allocation of value. The fastest and most significant growth is being captured by specialized, AI-native startups that are focused on solving high-impact problems like on-site safety and productivity, and by the major AEC software platforms who are successfully bundling AI features into their existing, dominant ecosystems. This dynamic highlights a market that is being built from two directions: from the bottom up by agile innovators with best-of-breed solutions, and from the top down by the incumbent platform giants embedding AI into their core workflows. The AI in Construction Market size is projected to grow USD 15.01 Billion by 2035, exhibiting a CAGR of 32.66% during the forecast period 2025-2035. Understanding how this substantial growth is being allocated is key, as it underscores the immense opportunity for both focused, AI-first companies and the strategic imperative for the established players to infuse their platforms with intelligence to defend their market share and drive new growth.

A massive portion of the market's growth, particularly in terms of innovation and winning new, "greenfield" deployments on job sites, is being captured by the specialized AI-powered construction analytics startups. The category of AI-powered video analytics for safety and productivity is a prime example of this growth. Companies that have developed sophisticated computer vision models that can analyze existing video streams from construction sites to automatically detect safety hazards (like a worker too close to heavy machinery) or to track the progress of different trades have seen explosive growth. Their value proposition is clear and compelling: they can help a general contractor reduce safety incidents, avoid costly project delays, and improve on-site productivity, all by leveraging the existing camera infrastructure. Their growth is driven by their ability to deliver a clear and rapid return on investment. Another high-growth area for specialists is in generative design and project optimization, where startups are capturing growth by offering AI tools that can help architects and engineers create more efficient and sustainable building designs from the very beginning of a project.

While the AI-native startups capture the high-velocity, innovative edge of the market, another massive share of the overall revenue growth is being captured by the major incumbent AEC software platforms, particularly Autodesk. Their growth is a direct result of their powerful "ecosystem" and bundling strategy. For the millions of construction professionals who already use the Autodesk Construction Cloud for project management and documentation, the path of least resistance is to adopt the new AI-powered features and modules that Autodesk is continuously adding to that platform. For example, by integrating an AI-powered risk analysis feature directly into the project management workflow, Autodesk can provide immediate value to its massive existing customer base and capture a new revenue stream through an upsell. Their growth is driven not necessarily by having the single best AI algorithm for every problem, but by having a "good enough" and perfectly integrated AI feature set within the platform that their customers already use every day. This "platform lock-in" and cross-selling strategy is a powerful engine for capturing a huge share of the market's value growth.
