KEY MARKET INSIGHTS

Play Audio Listen to Audio Version

The global modular construction market size was USD 84.48 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 131.58 billion by 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period. Increasing demand for speed, cost savings, sustainability, and quality control to boost the growth of modular construction market globally.


The delivery and installation of prefabricated, engineered building units at the construction site are modular. The volumetric building modules are often heavily serviced units like kitchens, bathrooms, whole rooms, or room portions. Modular building construction is faster than traditional construction because it takes less time to complete. Other advantages of modular buildings include greater flexibility, higher air quality, and a shorter construction timeline. In 2022, the global modular construction market size was valued USD 79.92 billion.


Modular building solutions are picking up steam among housing giants owing to their major benefits, including less waste, better durability, lower costs, environmental friendliness, and flexibility. Industry experts say such projects can take 30%-50% less time than traditional construction. Due to the custom-made fittings that are developed according to the client's requirements, modular structures are exceptionally versatile. Infrastructure activities have sprung up in response to the growing demand and supply mismatch caused by rapid urbanization. AMANA Investments, located in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), plans to establish a platform for seamless offsite building under the DuPod and DuBox brands, culminating in the adoption of innovative manufacturing processes.


COVID-19 IMPACT


COVID-19 Impeded  the Opportunities for New Construction Activities


COVID-19 has caused considerable economic damage. Nationwide lockdowns have halted construction and impacted this labor-intensive sector as migrant workers leaving the labor colonies at construction sites are critically hampering construction activities worldwide. As per the study by the International Labor Organization, during the COVID-19 pandemic, nearly 52% of labor absenteeism was observed in the Indian construction market. The recent emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic has increased market uncertainty and volatility. It has led to a complete economic shutdown in India, China, the U.S., Italy, Israel, the U.K., and other countries, significantly affecting businesses across industries.


Moreover, the volatility in the stock market around the world has had an adverse impact on stock prices and trading volumes for manufacturers. This has resulted in a significant decline innew residential and non-residential constructions that has shrunk the demand for modular construction. Also, commercial and residential construction projects are usually backed by financial institutions and investors. According to the European Investment Bank, approximately USD 13.30 Billion was invested in Europe for infrastructure development, environmental projects, SMEs, and midcap financing. Owing to the sudden pandemic outbreak, the cash inflow-outflow ecosystem has been majorly hampered, resulting in low returns on investments.

Smart Manufacturing Technology Deployment to Enhance Product Demand


Modular building is one of the most well-known businesses today pursuing agile approaches to optimize overall operational operations. Permanent modular construction (PMC) is a construction method that uses off-site manufacturing processes to prefabricate single and multi-story structures. This enhances overall construction workflow by improving operational performance, identifying and evaluating process improvement measures, and identifying and evaluating process improvement measures. For instance, Skender opened a modular production building at its advanced manufacturing site in Chicago in May 2022. Furthermore, major companies worldwide use novel ways to modernize their businesses, including lean manufacturing and management, standardized project management (SPM), and building information modeling (BIM), further contributing to market growth.


DRIVING FACTORS 


Increasing Infrastructure Investments in Fast-Growing Economies to Propel the Market Development


Increasing infrastructure investments owing to the rise in industrialization and urbanization in developing economies such as India, Vietnam, and China are expected to drive the market growth. Besides, rising commercial space investments are expected to contribute positively to the prefabricated construction market’s revenue. For instance, in India, commercial property leasing has witnessed a growth of 30% in the first quarter of 2022, and the leased area is estimated to be around 60 million sq. ft., according to secondary sources.


Evolving Government Initiatives to Drive the Market Growth


Evolving government initiatives to reduce construction waste and promote green buildings drive the market. For instance, the Government of Singapore has mandated using PPVC (prefabricated, pre-finished, volumetric construction) elements in numerous projects on government lands. In addition, the government provides companies with subsidies that standardize modern construction methods. In 2016, the State Council of China released a circular stating that 30% of the new buildings would utilize prefabricated construction materials. In addition, increasing government spending on R&D for novel construction solutions is expected to drive the prefabricated construction market shortly.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Rising Offsite Manufacturing Investments & Financial Crisis Hinders the Market Growth


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


SEGMENTATION


By Type Analysis


PMC Holds a Major Market Share Owing to Its Cost Effectiveness


By type the market is divided into permanent modular construction (PMC) and relocatable modular construction.


PMC holds the largest market share and is the fastest-growing market segment. The PMC module can be retrofitted to the existing building or delivered as a turn-key solution with time and cost-efficiency. Relocatable modular construction is expected to grow progressively as temporary housing for emergency and relief operations has gained importance over the past few years. These buildings are specially designed to be reused, repurposed, and transported to various project sites.


By Material Analysis


Concrete Segment Dominated Global Market in 2022, due to the Increasing Need for Road Infrastructure 


By material type, the market is divided into concrete, steel, and wood.


Concrete segment generated prominent revenue in 2022. It is due to the increasing demand for concrete materials from the road and highway infrastructure industry. Furthermore, the wood segment shows the highest CAGR during the forecast period due to the rising demand for antique multi-storey wooden and bamboo houses. However, the steel segment is growing moderately due to the industrial sector's growing demand for steel infrastructure. 


By Application Analysis
