Modular & Prefabricated Construction Market Introduction and Overview
According to SPER Market Research, the Global Modular & Prefabricated Construction Market is estimated to reach USD 277.59 billion by 2034 with a CAGR of 5.98%
The report includes an in-depth analysis of the Global Modular & Prefabricated Construction Market, including market size and trends, product mix, Applications, and supplier analysis. The global construction industry is experiencing growth driven by rising demand for affordable housing and increased investment in healthcare and commercial infrastructure. Rapid urbanization and industrialization are fueling new projects, particularly in commercial and industrial sectors. Technological advancements in construction, combined with the benefits of modular building—such as faster timelines, lower costs, flexibility, and reduced waste—are boosting demand. However, the high costs associated with transporting modular structures pose a significant challenge. Modular construction is often located in rural areas to leverage cheaper labor, but transporting large modules over long distances is costly and further complicated by trucking regulations and weight limits.
By Product Type:
The permanent construction segment currently holds the leading position by product type and is expected to continue dominating the market in the foreseeable future. Permanent modular construction (PMC) is a forward-thinking and sustainable building method that involves the off-site fabrication of modules, which are later assembled into single or multi-story structures. These modules offer flexibility, as they can be integrated into existing buildings or constructed as standalone units, making PMC a versatile solution in modern construction practices.
By material:
By material, the steel segment plays a significant role in the modular construction market and is expected to see continued growth. Prefabricated steel buildings are constructed using pre-engineered components manufactured in a controlled factory environment, then transported to the construction site for assembly. These structures are known for their speed, affordability, and durability, with weather-resistant features due to precise factory production. Their clean, modern appearance makes them suitable for commercial and industrial applications. Additionally, the ability to easily deconstruct and reuse the structures at different locations adds to their appeal and is expected to drive ongoing demand.
By Regional Insights
The Europe region currently holds a leading position in the modular and prefabricated construction market and is anticipated to experience strong growth in the coming years. A major factor driving this expansion is the rising influx of migrants, which has created a growing need for both temporary and permanent housing solutions. In addition, increased investments and the adoption of advanced construction technologies are further supporting the growth of the modular construction sector across the region.
Market Competitive Landscape
The market is moderately consolidated. Some of the market key players are Laing O’Rourke, Bouygues Construction, Larsen & Toubro Limited, Sekisui House, Ltd., VINCI Construction, Skanska, Lendlease Corporation, Kiewit Corporation, Hickory Group, Algeco (Modulaire Group), Red Sea International, Taisei Corporation, Others.
Recent Developments:
In September 2023, the city of Malmö in southern Sweden introduced a new student housing development, Unity Malmö, featuring five building blocks and 450 micro-living apartments. For this project, Forta PRO supplied 269 prefabricated modules, covering a total area of 9,671.9 square meters.
In February 2023, Modular Group Investments Ltd. (MGI) announced its acquisition of Oakland Glass Ltd., marking a key strategic step for the Group. This move significantly enhanced MGI’s capacity and expertise in the production of insulated double-glazed units. Additionally, the acquisition opened established market channels for Oakland Glass, aligning with both MGI's current activities and future growth plans.
