Impact of Industry 5.0 on the Construction Industry (Construction 5.0): Systematic Literature Review and Bibliometric Analysis

Abstract

The construction industry is undergoing a paradigm shift with the advent of Construction 5.0 (C5.0), which integrates artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), digital twins, blockchain, and robotics to enhance productivity, sustainability, and resilience. This study conducts a systematic literature review and bibliometric analysis of 78 scholarly sources published between 2022 and 2025, using data from Scopus and following the PRISMA method. Keyword co-occurrence mapping, citation analysis, and content review are utilized to identify key advancements, emerging trends, and adoption challenges in C5.0. Seven core technologies are examined through the lenses of sustainability, human–robot collaboration (HRC), and resilience, revealing a rapidly expanding yet still nascent research domain. While C5.0 presents transformative potential, its widespread implementation faces significant barriers. A critical evaluation of these challenges is conducted, alongside strategic pathways to facilitate adoption and maximize impact. Furthermore, the leading countries and seminal contributions in the field are highlighted to guide future research efforts. By addressing knowledge gaps and industry trends, this study provides practical insights for policymakers, researchers, and industry professionals, contributing to the development of innovative frameworks that enhance efficiency, sustainability, and resilience in the era of Industry 5.0.
