The construction industry is important in the social and economic development of countries. In this sector, the reinforced concrete is highlighted, providing resistance to compressive forces and protection to steel. During construction processes, there is a need to wait for the concrete to harden (setting time), whose improper decision about finishing can generate costs or even serious accidents. The objective of this paper is to elaborate a technological roadmap based on a prospective study and identification of internal and external elements that influence the development of a concrete cure monitoring system. For this, it was necessary to search and analyze patents, followed by SWOT analysis and, finally, elaboration of technological roadmap containing products, interested market, competing market and necessary technologies. It concludes by the viability of the monitoring system, with short-term benefits for the academy and expectation of interest in different sectors of construction, such as construction companies, concrete and precast factories.
