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