What Is Modular Construction?

Modular construction involves prefabricating building components off-site in controlled factory conditions before transporting and assembling them at the final location. This method offers:

  • Faster project completion (30–50% quicker than traditional construction)

  • Reduced material waste (up to 90% less)

  • Lower labor costs

  • Enhanced quality control 1.

Types of Modular Construction:

  1. Permanent Modular Construction (PMC) – Long-term structures like offices, schools, and hospitals.

  2. Relocatable Modular Construction (RMC) – Temporary structures for events, disaster relief, or mobile offices 1.


Key Market Drivers

1. Rising Urbanization & Housing Demand

  • Rapid urbanization in Asia-Pacific (38.28% market share in 2021) is driving demand for affordable, scalable housing 1.

  • Governments in India and China are investing in prefabricated housing to address housing shortages 1.

2. Cost & Time Efficiency

  • Modular construction reduces project timelines by 30–50%, making it ideal for hospitals, schools, and commercial buildings 1.

  • Steel-based modular construction (26.8% revenue share in 2021) dominates due to durability and cost-effectiveness 1.

3. Sustainability & Green Building Initiatives

  • Modular construction generates less waste and carbon emissions, aligning with LEED and net-zero building goals 1.

  • Europe is leading in eco-friendly modular construction, with strict regulations on sustainable building practices 1.
