Modular Construction Market: Key Drivers, Trends, Challenges, and Customer Landscape
Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
Key Modular Construction Market Drivers
Increasing demand to remove site constraints is a key factor driving the growth of the modular construction industry. On-site construction can be hampered by various restrictions, such as unpredictable weather conditions and the need to stage multiple processes. Not only does this lead to higher construction costs on site, but more time is spent managing day-to-day construction activities.
Also, on-site construction is risky, and various safety measures must be followed to prevent accidents. Such difficulties lower the demand for on-site construction and drive the demand for modular construction, which will fuel the growth of the global modular construction market during the forecast period.
Significant Modular Construction Market Trends
Increasing awareness of custom-built facilities with minimum budgets is the primary trend in the modular construction industry growth. Modular construction takes into account the growing demand for multi-family housing. Large construction projects use modular construction methods to reduce costs and create affordable housing. For instance, the Homeless Housing in Hilda L.Soil, Los Angeles, US, offered 553,000 housing units in April 2021 through modular construction.
Modular construction offers flexibility to contractors and is environment-friendly in nature as major construction components are reusable and can be relocated without wasting new resources for building a home. The rising awareness of the benefits of modular construction for constructing custom facilities is expected to grow, which will fuel the growth of the global modular construction market during the forecast period.
Major Modular Construction Market Challenges
Lack of awareness and volatility of transportation costs are major challenges for the growth of the global modular construction market. Modular parts have to be transported to construction sites and this requires special vehicles. Also, shipping costs change from time to time, which can increase the cost of modular construction. Transportation costs may vary depending on fuel price, mode of transportation, and required distance. Delays in transporting modular parts delay construction projects.
Moreover, people are unaware of modular construction methods as they are accustomed to traditional construction methods and the contractors also are unaware of the new construction methods, which could lead to their lower adoption. Such factors will impede the growth of the modular construction industry during the forecast period
