The demand for residential and commercial real estates is expected to increase significantly through 2030. Modular & prefabricated construction has proven to be more effective in reducing construction time. For instance, recent modular projects have a proven track record of reducing project timeframes by 20% to 50%. This saves a huge sum of money approximately 20% of the project's cost as well as man hours that can be put to better use.
 

According to the UN, metropolitan areas will house approximately 68% of the world's population by 2050. Furthermore, the World Bank projects that approximately 300 million new housing units will be required to house approximately three billion people by 2030. The increasing penetration of modular & prefabricated building systems in single-family and multifamily homes in the U.S. is predicted to boost the market growth.
 

The successful establishment of the modular & prefabricated construction market in developed regions, such as North America and Europe, along with the growing construction sector is driving the business statistics. To improve business processes including production productivity, accuracy & logistics, the construction sector is introducing new technologies such as environmental-friendly products and energy-absorbing materials including micro dwellings, resulting in the focus on energy efficiency.
 

Base material prices are constantly changing owing to several supply-side factors and geopolitical & economic decisions. The cost of major raw materials such as steel depends on various factors including demand and supply factors, which are often referred to as price elasticity. The frequently rising prices of raw materials, such as steel, concrete, etc., along with a slowdown in the construction sector amid the impact of COVID-19 has negatively impacted the market demand.
 

Permanent construction segment is the leading the industry

Permanent modular & prefabricated construction market accounted for about 52% of the revenue shares in 2021 and is projected to generate nearly USD 132 billion by 2030. The sector will grow quickly due to the cost advantages of modular buildings and rapid urbanization. The growing demand for mobile & custom houses will fuel the market expansion. The demand for modularized buildings is increasing led by the continuously rising cost of manufacturing and raw materials. New opportunities will arise in the coming years owing to the continuously expanding working population and the rising demand for commercial real estate in Europe & North America.
 

The use of concrete in modular & prefabricated construction will see considerable growth

The concrete material segment is anticipated to showcase considerable growth rate of around 8% from 2022 to 2030. In tornado-prone regions and seismic zones, contemporary & design-focused precast concrete is ideal. Precast concrete can be used as a primary building material and a structural support. High-quality and energy-efficient structures can be built using design-focused precast concretes. Furthermore, the development of new technologies, such as cavity-composite concrete structures, enables prefabricated construction to minimize defects and enhance quality, easy handling & cost-effectiveness, which are likely to propel the concrete material demand.

The North America modular & prefabricated construction market captured significant share and is predicted to account for USD 79 billion revenue by 2030. The region saw considerable growth due to rising infrastructure projects such as office buildings, hospitals, new housing centers, and educational institutions.
 

Growing environmental concerns about the volume of carbon emissions from conventional construction methods has also augmented the regional business expansion. The introduction of several government programs to encourage the development of green buildings across the U.S. is also supporting the market revenue. Additionally, the region's high incidences of extremely cold weather, which causes shorter days and heavy snowfall, impedes on-site building, thus fueling the demand for modular construction.
 

The economic expansion in the Asia Pacific region is being impelled by factors including the convenient supply of raw materials & labor and advanced technologies & innovations. China and Japan, the two economic powerhouses of the Asia Pacific region, are the second- and third-largest economies in the world as of 2021.
 

Mergers & acquisitions, joint ventures, and product development are among the key activities by companies
