Adoption of lean manufacturing techniques to boost the market growth
Modular construction is one of the major industries seeking lean techniques to enhance 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 construction workflow. 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.
Further, the growth in the adoption of pre-engineered buildings for offices especially contributes to the growth of the pre-engineered buildings market. Owing to rapid urbanization and economic growth in developing economies, firms seek faster and more cost-effective ways to construct their office space. Pre-engineered buildings are sought for their cost-effectiveness and speedy construction. This growth is anticipated to expand the pre-engineered buildings market CAGR globally in recent years.
Moreover, Increasing awareness of environmental issues and the need for sustainable development has led to a shift towards green building practices. Pre-engineered buildings offer several advantages in terms of sustainability, including energy efficiency, reduced carbon footprint and minimized waste generation. The use of environmental-friendly materials, energy-efficient designs and renewable energy integration in pre-engineered buildings aligns with the goals of sustainable construction.
A 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 commercial space investments are expected to positively contribute to the prefabricated construction market revenue. For instance, in India, commercial property leasing has witnessed a growth of 30% in the first quadrant of 2019, driving the growth of the India pre-engineered buildings market revenue.
February 2023: As reported by the Director of EPACK Prefab Private Limited, the company based in Greater Noida has begun working on the construction of a new PEB manufacturing facility in Tirupati district and will invest about 200 crores in this facility since PEBs are in great requirement in southern states. This facility will add more production capacity for the company, which is currently standing at 100,000 metric tons per annum, by an additional 84000 metric tones per annum.
