The global modular construction market size was USD 72.11 billion in 2020 and is projected to grow from USD 75.89 billion in 2021 to USD 114.78 billion in 2028 at a CAGR of 6.1% during the 2021-2028 period. Based on our analysis, the modular construction market exhibited a modest growth of 5.2% in 2020 as compared to the average year-on-year growth during 2017-2019. The regional COVID-19 impact has been unprecedented and staggering, with modular construction witnessing a positive demand across the regions amid the pandemic. The sudden fall in CAGR is attributable to this market’s demand and growth returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.


Modular building solutions are gaining popularity among housing giants due to their various benefits, including reduced waste, speedy building, cost-effectiveness, eco-friendliness, and flexibility. As per industry experts, modular building projects can be completed 30% to 50% quicker than traditional construction. Modular buildings are extremely flexible owing to the custom-made fits that are created according to the specific requirements of customers. Rapid urbanization has given rise to infrastructure activities to bridge the rising demand and supply chain gap. GCC-based AMANA Investments is planning to launch a platform for seamless offsite construction under its brand DuPod, and DuBox, resulting in the adoption of advanced manufacturing techniques.


COVID-19 to Impede Opportunities for New Construction Activities Owing to Reduced Investments


COVID-19 has caused considerable economic damage. The nationwide lockdown globally has halted construction and impacted the labour-intensive sector. This is due to the migrant workers being stranded at construction sites, and the halted construction activities are hampering the growth prospects across the world. As per the International Labor Organization study, nearly 52% of labor absenteeism is observed in the Indian construction market, reducing the overall construction activities across the country. The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic led to market uncertainty and volatility worldwide. Moreover, the stock market volatility worldwide has had an adverse impact on stock prices and trading volumes for manufacturers. This has resulted in a significant decline in new residential and non-residential constructions that has shrunk the demand for modular construction.


Financial institutions and investors usually back commercial and residential construction projects. According to the European Investment Bank, in 2018, approximately USD 13,300 million was invested in Europe for infrastructure development, environmental projects, SMEs and midcaps financing, etc.


LATEST TRENDS

Adoption of Lean Manufacturing Techniques to Augment Product Demand


Today, modular construction is one of the prominent industries seeking lean techniques to improve overall operational workflows. Permanent modular construction (PMC) delivers sustainable construction, utilizing offsite manufacturing techniques to prefabricate single or multi-story buildings. This improves operational performance, identifies and evaluates process improvement measures, and improves the overall construction workflow. For instance, in May 2019, Skender launched a modular production building at its advanced manufacturing facility located in Chicago. Moreover, prominent key players worldwide adopt innovative approaches, including lean manufacturing and management, standardized project management (SPM), building information modeling (BIM), etc., to revolutionize the industry.


DRIVING FACTORS


Increasing Infrastructure Investments in Fast-growing Economies to Propel Growth


Due to the rise in industrialization and urbanization in developing economies such as India, Vietnam, and China, the increasing infrastructure investments are expected to drive the modular construction market growth. Besides, rising investments in commercial spaces are expected to contribute to the prefabricated construction market revenue positively. For instance, in India, commercial property leasing has witnessed a growth of 30% in the first quadrant of 2019. The leased area is estimated to be around 60 million sq. ft. according to secondary sources.


Evolving Government Initiatives to Promote Green Infrastructure will Aid Growth


Evolving government initiatives to reduce construction waste and promote green buildings is driving the market. For instance, the Government of Singapore has mandated using PPVC (prefabricated, pre-finished, volumetric construction) elements in numerous projects on government lands. Besides, the government provides companies with subsidies that are standardizing modern methods of construction. On 15th March 2021, The Canadian Minister of Families and other members of Parliament announced the investment of CAD 16.4 million Rapid Housing Initiative allocation for the Surrey Centre by building 44 new affordable homes. The increasing spending on R&D activities for novel construction solutions is expected to drive the prefabricated construction market in the near future.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Rising Offsite Manufacturing Investments & Financial Crisis May Hinder Growth


Modular construction is strongly associated with offsite manufacturing, requiring huge investments and long-term returns, with a need for stable market growth. Project pre-planning is one of the key restraints in the modularization process. It may lead to extensive planning of critical components such as coordination of design, onsite installation, and transportation. Hence, strategic project pre-planning increases manufacturing investments that create pressure for the investment rate for further stage planning, hindering the overall market growth rate.


SEGMENTATION


By Type Analysis


Permanent Modular Construction Segment to Hold Major Market Share


The type segment is bifurcated into permanent (PMC) and relocatable modular construction (RMC).


PMC holds the largest market share and is the fastest-growing segment. The PMC module can be retrofitted to the existing building or delivered as a turn-key solution with time and cost-efficiency.


RMC is expected to witness progressive growth as temporary housing for emergency and relief operations has gained importance over the past years. These buildings are specially designed to be reused and repurposed and to be transported to various project sites.


By Application Analysis
