  Growing infrastructure investments to boost the market growth

  
  

According to market dynamics, the growing infrastructure investments are anticipated to boost the growth of the modular construction market because of the increase in industrialization and urbanization in developing nations like China, Vietnam, and India. Additionally, growing commercial real estate investments are anticipated to impact the prefabricated construction market's income positively. For example, commercial property leasing in India increased by 30% in the first quarter of 2019. According to secondary sources, the leased space is expected to be over 60 million square feet.

The industry is driven by advancing government initiatives to cut down on construction waste and promote green buildings. For instance, the Singaporean government has regulated using PVC (prefabricated, pre-finished, volumetric construction) materials in many projects on public property. In addition, the government gives businesses subsidies that help standardize contemporary construction techniques. The Canadian Minister of Families and other members of Parliament announced on March 15, 2021, that the Rapid Housing Initiative would invest CAD 16.4 million in the Surrey Center to construct 44 new, affordable houses. Shortly, the prefabricated construction industry is anticipated to be driven by rising R&D expenditures for innovative construction solutions.

Time and cost are two factors related to building operations that have long been viewed as barriers to the industry's expansion in many emerging economies. Overcoming this restriction has been one of the main challenges for many significant building enterprises worldwide. The prefabricated buildings system is one of the primary remedies for these issues. As per market statistics, prefabricated buildings technologies can reduce construction time by 30 to 50 percent in today's market and provide an alternative. Since fewer workers are needed for the on-site procedures, the system is economical. Another unintended consequence of the process's reduced on-site activity is the significantly smaller garbage generated. Therefore, such factors have enhanced the Prefabricated Buildings market CAGR ly in recent years.

However, Green building is becoming more popular as people are becoming more conscious of the negative environmental effects of construction waste is another factor driving the growth of the Prefabricated Buildings market revenue.

In 2024 Katerra introduced an updated version of its Modular Building System, featuring new modular components designed to streamline construction processes and improve sustainability. The new system incorporates advanced materials and improved design flexibility.

In 2023 Factory_OS launched a new line of modular housing units designed to address affordable housing needs. These units feature enhanced energy efficiency and faster assembly times, with a focus on reducing construction costs and environmental impact.
