Construction Wearable Technology Market Growing 10%
A recent report from ResearchAndMarkets.com reported that the construction wearable technology market size is projected to expand from $4.15 billion in 2024 to $4.6 billion in 2025. This represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.8%.
This growth is primarily driven by heightened jobsite safety concerns, increased integration IoT technologies, the pursuit of improved productivity, innovation in wearable tech, and a strong emphasis on worker health monitoring.
Looking ahead, the market is expected to reach $6.85 billion by 2029, maintaining a CAGR of 10.5%. Factors such as the escalating need for remote monitoring, investments in smart personal protective equipment (PPE), digitization of construction sites, and innovative solutions to labor shortages will fuel this growth.
Notable trends include advancements in AI-powered safety sensors, self-charging wearable systems, ergonomic exoskeleton designs, real-time health monitoring, and augmented reality interfaces.
The spike in workplace accidents also underscores the significance of these technologies. Poor safety training is a leading contributor, leaving workers vulnerable to site hazards. Construction wearables mitigate such risks by enabling real-time health and safety monitoring and improving job site efficiency through data insights and immediate alerts.
For example, the Bureau of Labor Statistics noted a 5.7% increase in fatal work-related injuries in the U.S. from 2021 to 2022, emphasizing the urgency for technology-driven safety measures.
Companies are pushing the envelope with innovative products like AI-powered exoskeletons, which enhance efficiency and reduce physical strain. In May 2025, German Bionic introduced Exia, an AI-driven exoskeleton that provides intelligent motion sensing and real-time analytics, optimizing support based on user movements. This innovation highlights the growing trend toward AI integration in construction wearables aimed at improving worker well-being and efficiency.
Collaborations are enhancing market capabilities. In May 2022, Kwant.ai partnered with Actility SA to develop smarter job sites using LoRaWAN tracking devices and real-time analytics for monitoring. This synergy aims to boost productivity and safety globally, showcasing the market's commitment to leveraging connected intelligence.
Prominent players in the market include 3M Company, Trimble Inc., Magic Leap Inc., RealWear Inc., and German Bionic GmbH, among others. North America leads the market, while key regions such as Asia-Pacific, Western Europe, and others offer significant opportunities.
