The global modular construction market is expected to reach USD 277.76 Billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 8.1% during the forecast period 2022 to 2030. The modular construction market has grown due to the increasing investment in the construction sector for affordable, environment-friendly, high-quality modular structures. There are advancements in new technologies to help ease the modular construction experience of people, which is expected to provide growth opportunities for the market during the forecast period.

Market Overview

Modular construction refers to the construction of a building offsite and assembling it at its final location under controlled plant conditions. In the modular construction industry, lean techniques are being implemented to improve overall operational workflows to improve productivity, quality, efficiency and safety. Depending on the design, modular modules could include fully functional rooms, such as bathrooms or elevators, or only a portion of a room. In comparison with conventional construction, modular construction produces fewer site disturbances and reduces waste. Structures like industrial buildings, classrooms, construction camps, and military housing can be constructed using modular construction. In the hospitality and education sector, modular units will likely become increasingly popular due to their reduced cost and ease of installation. Although modular construction is widely used, the lack of reliability in earthquake-prone regions substantially hampers its growth. The modular construction market is estimated to grow to USD 277.76 billion by 2030 at a CAGR of 8.1%. A number of additional benefits are contributing to its growing popularity, such as its ability to compete in remote areas, its environmentally friendly construction process, its high quality, market acceptance, and low waste generation. Moreover, the pre-planning of strategic projects leads to increased manufacturing investments and greater pressure on investment rates for further stages, inhibiting the market’s overall growth. Additionally, rapid industrialization, urbanization, and the demand for highly technical buildings at reasonable prices are expected to fuel the growth of the industry for the next few years.

Market Dynamics:

• Driver- Rise in Demand

In the upcoming years, rising urbanisation and industrialisation in developing nations like India and Indonesia is anticipated to be the primary development driver for the modular building industry. The market for modular construction is also anticipated to expand in the next years as a result of increased infrastructure spending. The market for modular construction may potentially expand as a result of increased investments in the development of commercial spaces employing the module format in the future. The market for modular construction may experience development in the years to come as a result of an increased need for work-zone safety. The development of green buildings and waste reduction programmes are two government efforts and policies that may in the future potentially boost the market for modular construction.

• Restraint- Huge size

The size of modular buildings is constrained since they must be delivered to your location. For instance, the traditional construction technique might be the ideal choice if you want to add a really large building to your property. Despite this, many companies, healthcare organizations, and educational institutions choose to purchase a number of modular buildings that may be combined to form a larger complex of additional offices, conference rooms, and classrooms.

• Opportunity- Structural Development

This expansion is related to the expanding off-site construction activity in urban areas. Additionally, the expansion of modular building is being aided by the expanding infrastructure in emerging nations all over the world. Off-site construction is not impacted by weather because it is produced in enclosed factories with cutting-edge equipment, reducing erection time and delivering high-quality goods.

• Challenges- Stigma

Modern modular constructions are of excellent quality, adaptability, and design, but they still carry a negative connotation. Prefabs from the 1970s come to mind, which is a long cry from the kinds of modular structures that are offered nowadays. Even if this drawback is modest, certain people express worries about choosing modular buildings over traditional construction, it might occasionally slow down your internal planning process.
