*Construction-related overview*
The construction industry has been one of the slowest industries to adopt technology due to factors such as project complexity, fragmented processes, reliance on paper-based systems, and an aging workforce. However, the environment surrounding the construction industry has undergone major changes over the past few years, including the need for remote work triggered by the coronavirus pandemic, a serious shortage of human resources, and the need to deal with economic issues such as inflation. In response to these changes, demand for
construction technology has increased, and startups that handle new technologies and services have attracted attention.
In particular, we focus on solutions that improve worker safety and work efficiency by enabling tasks such as remote operation of heavy machinery and site monitoring, management tools and online
marketplaces that streamline project progress and material
procurement, and eliminate material waste. Many investors and business companies have high expectations for modular housing, which can be constructed in a shorter period of time than conventional
technologies, as a technology that can solve problems unique to the construction industry.
Sustainability issues are also of particular interest in this industry. Generally, the amount of energy consumed in the building sector is said to be as much as 30% of the total energy consumption*, so it can be said that the construction industry can play a large role in reducing energy consumption and related CO2 emissions. . In fact, in recent years, the presence of startups that deal with technologies such as building materials with low energy consumption and low CO2 emissions, construction methods such as modular construction and renovation with low environmental impact that reduce waste materials, and energy management solutions that realize energy conservation has increased. It is becoming a way to solve sustainability issues.
This report lists the top 50 construction-related startups around the world by cumulative amount of funding.
(As of April 2024), we will introduce them by classifying them into categories.
