Global Modular Construction Market by Application (Residential, Commercial, Industrial, Healthcare), by Type (Relocatable, Permanent) and Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa), Forecast To 2028
Summary of the Report
Global modular construction market was valued at USD 112.3 million in 2018. It is forecast to grow 6.5% during the forecast period. Market growth is expected to be positive due to rising demand for affordable housing and increasing investments in healthcare and commercial infrastructure.
According to industry surveys modular construction can save 30% to 50% on time compared with traditional construction. Due to growing focus on productivity, efficiency and workplace safety, the market will see a renewed interest in the building and construction industry.
Because of its high adoption rate, the U.K. is a leading market for modular construction. Over the forecast period, the country's market will be driven by a chronic shortage of skilled labor and massive ongoing investments in residential housing development. There will also be a renewed focus to improve healthcare infrastructure.
Traditional building methods are not possible in countries like Sweden, Canada, Finland and the United States. Modular construction is a viable alternative to traditional methods. Around 85% of all new homes in Sweden were built using modular construction as of 2018.
Modular construction is attractive because it allows you to benefit from economies of scale, faster speeds, and better quality control. Modular construction also has a significant decrease in the amount of waste generated by traditional building methods.
Market growth is being slowed by lack of awareness, poor consumer perceptions about quality, and difficulties in accessing finance. Market growth will be hindered by the possibility of an economic slowdown in key markets like the U.K. and China.
Type Insights
In the last decade, permanent modular construction has been gaining popularity as an alternative to traditional building techniques. The market's positive growth is being driven by the increasing popularity of buying a house. This can be attributed to the easy availability of finance and an increase in per capita income.
The largest share, 64.4%, was held by the permanent modular segment in 2018, due to the increasing demand for permanent housing and commercial structures. Market growth will be boosted by the increasing cost of housing construction and the rapid growth in the industrial sector of developing countries.
To provide temporary accommodation for workers at work, modular structures that can be moved around are used. A variety of end-users can also use modular, relocatable structures, including local governments and industrial corporations, school boards, schools, and healthcare providers. They are used as temporary offices, clinics, temporary hotels, and healthcare providers.
Over the forecast period, Africa and the Middle East are expected to see a large demand for modular construction that can be moved around. Market growth is expected to be driven by the rising trend to provide housing facilities for migrant blue-collar workers who are engaged in ongoing construction projects and industrial projects.
Application Insights
Modular construction is expected to be the most lucrative segment, with the residential market gaining the highest share at 6.9% CAGR over the forecast period. This is due to an increase of residential housing construction in Asia Pacific, which has a growing population and rapid economic growth.
In 2018, the commercial application segment was valued USD 15.8 billion. It is projected to grow at 6.2% CAGR over the forecast period. The recovery of key markets like the U.K. and the U.S. is expected to drive strong demand for commercial space such as offices, showrooms and hotels. This will lead to an increase in commercial building activities.
Modular construction reduces disruptions and allows for closure of existing structures. Modular construction is becoming more popular in capital-intensive sectors like healthcare. It allows for a shorter construction time and lowers costs, while maintaining the highest quality building materials and design.
A growing eCommerce sector and rising industrialization have resulted in a higher demand for warehouses. The forecast period will see an increase in demand for modular construction in industrial applications.
Regional Insights
The U.K.'s leading segment, residential application, emerged and will continue to grow at 7.2% CAGR over the forecast period. The U.K. government plans to build 300,000 homes annually in the next five-years, which will increase the residential construction industry. This plan is expected positively to impact the modular construction market.
Canada's growing commercial construction market is supported by the demand for commercial space such as offices, hotels, and retail showrooms. Due to the improved economic outlook and the growing commercial construction market, the country's commercial application segment is expected to grow to USD 198.8 millions by 2025.
Europe was the second largest market for modular construction in 2018, due to the high penetration in Sweden, Finland, Germany and the U.K. It is likely that the main driving factor will be the increasing influx of migrants, which will require the construction of permanent and temporary housing structures.
India's modular construction market is expected to grow at 8.4% CAGR over the forecast period. Market growth is expected to be boosted by the ambitious plan of the Indian government to provide permanent housing to all citizens by 2022.
Market Share Insights & Key Companies
