Press Release

Modular Construction Market is Expected to Reach USD 141.7 Billion By 2030

Chemicals & Materials Oct 3, 2022

The report published by The Brainy Insights shows that the global modular construction market is expected to grow from USD 84.6 billion in 2021 to USD 141.7 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 5.9% during the forecast period 2022-2030.

Modular building solutions are gaining popularity due to their various benefits, such as reducing waste, cost-effectiveness, eco-friendliness, speedy building, and flexibility. As per a study, it has been found that modular constructions can be completed 30% to 50% quicker when compared to conventional construction. These buildings are incredibly flexible as they are custom-made to fit the construction site according to the specific requirement of the customers or builders. Rapid urbanization has increased the demand for construction activities to bridge the rising demand for the infrastructure of the increasing population. GCC-based Amana investment plans to launch a platform for seamless offsite construction under its brand DuPod and DuBox, adopting advanced manufacturing techniques.

Competitive Landscape:

To enhance their market position in the global modular construction market, the key players are now focusing on adopting the strategies such as product innovations, mergers & acquisitions, recent developments, joint ventures, collaborations, and partnerships.

  • In June 2020, Algeco Group announced the acquisition of Wexus Group AS, strengthening its Nordic presence from Norvestor Equity AS and other shareholders. Wexus in the Nordic region is a provider of high-quality modular building solutions.

Market growth and trends:

The increasing demand rise in industrialization and urbanization in developing countries increases the need for modular construction to meet the housing demand of the growing population. Furthermore, the rising investment in building advanced infrastructure to provide the best amenities in a small space adds impetus to the market's growth. However, there is a high risk of project failure, while shifting the unit to the final installation site hinders the market's growth. There is also increased investment required for modular construction along with long-term returns, which restrain the market's growth. But the rising government initiatives to reduce construction waste and pollution at the construction site provide an opportunity for the market's growth. However, the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic negatively affected the market as lockdown restrictions were imposed, and construction industries were temporarily closed to stop the spread of the disease, challenging the market's growth. The raw material supply chain was also disrupted, challenging the market's growth.

Key Findings

  • In 2021, the permanent segment dominated the market with the largest market share of 65% and market revenue of 54.34 billion.

The product type segment is divided into permanent and relocatable. In 2021, the permanent segment dominated the market with the largest market share of 65% and market revenue of 54.34 billion. The permanent modular construction can be built to stand independently and assembled into an existing structure, which drives the segment's growth.

  • In 2021, the steel segment accounted for the largest share of the market, with 43% and market revenue of 54.34 billion.

The material segment is divided into concrete, steel, and wood. In 2021, the steel segment accounted for the largest share of the market, with 43% and market revenue of 54.34 billion. Steel provides strength-to-weight serviceability, strength, design flexibility, structural integrity, security, durability, and fire resistance, reducing maintenance and repairs throughout the building's lifespan and driving the segment's growth.

  • In 2021, the healthcare segment accounted for the largest market share, with 19% and a market revenue of 15.8 billion.

The application segment is divided into retail & commercial, residential, education, office, healthcare, and hospitality​. In 2021, the healthcare segment accounted for the largest share of the market, with 19% and a market revenue of 15.8 billion. The segment has been growing owing to the increasing need for improved healthcare infrastructure and better hospital amenities for treatment, surgeries, and clinical and dental use.
