Abstract: With the advent of digital economy, digital transformation has become a hot issue in the international construction industry. Using the core database of "Web of Science" as the data source, 181 papers published between 2010 and 2020 were analyzed for their spatial and temporal distribution, knowledge base, research hotspots and development trend, and the development of digital technology in the international construction industry was sorted out. The research results show that: although the international research output on digitization in the construction industry is increasing year by year, there is still more room for progress in the degree of cooperation among authors, research institutions and countries; the current research on digitization technology in the construction industry mainly focuses on BIM technology, and other new digitization technologies are also gradually gaining the attention of scholars; the research hotspots include not only the digitization technology itself, but also the the research hotspots include not only the digital technology itself, but also the specific application stage and application value of digital technology; the research frontiers include digitalization, digital transformation, user adoption, etc. It is predicted that the future research on digital technology in the construction industry will show a cyclic development trend of "development of digital technology-adoption and application of digital technology-challenges in the application process-corresponding solutions". The research results aim to provide reference for the development of digital technology in the domestic construction industry and promote the digital transformation of the construction industry in China gradually.
