Robotic Total Station Market Outlook - 2026
The global robotic total station market size is expected to reach $930.6 million in 2026, from $568.6 million in 2018, growing at a CAGR of 6.4% from 2019 to 2026. A robotic total station is a combination of electronic distance meter and electronic theodolite. It is an integrated system, which consists of storage system, electronic data collector, and microprocessor. The functions of a robotic total station include data processing, coordinate measurement, distance measurement, and angle measurement.
The robotic total station are generally used by civil engineers and archaeologists for topographical and geographical surveying. The sectors such as meteorology, mechanical & electrical construction, mining, and others use robotic total station for purpose of land surveying. In addition, robotic total station are used in key application areas such as precision farming, transportation planning, and highway & roadway management. Furthermore, as compared to a total station, the robotic total station offers advantages of accurate calculation of coordinates with high accuracy of measurement, and elimination of manual errors of recording and reading.
The key factor in driving the robotic total station market growth is increase in adoption of robotic total station by construction sector, owing to the modernization of surveying tools and techniques for the purpose of land surveying. Other factor contributing toward the growth of the robotic total stations market is its use in survey of accident investigation on highway, crime scene location, and land investigation by insurance companies. The operational benefits and technological modernization offered by robotic total stations makes it the most preferred total station over manual total stations. The robotic total station market seeks huge growth opportunity in the highway and road sector. In addition, areas of utilities, mining, and civil engineering are expected to drive the demand for these robotic total stations during the forecast period. However, the rise in popularity of laser scanning and GPS systems as an alternative system for land surveying hinder the growth of the robotic total station market. Furthermore, the expansion of construction sector especially growth of smart cities offers lucrative growth opportunities for the manufacturer of robotic total station in the near future.
