The global modular construction market size was estimated at USD 90.79 billion in 2022 and is expected to register a growth of 7.5% over the forecast period. This growth is attributed to the growing demand for affordable housing coupled with the increasing investment in the development of healthcare and commercial infrastructure around the globe. Off-site building activities in the urban regions are also growing, which is further driving the growth of modular construction market. Off-site building is not affected by weather conditions as they are manufactured within closed factories using advanced machinery, thereby, optimizing the construction time and providing high-quality products. The aforementioned benefits of off-site building make modular construction cost-effective and contribute to less site-generated waste.

Rapid urbanization and industrialization are expected to increase the number of new projects, primarily in the commercial and industrial sectors. This is likely to fuel the growth of the construction industry across the globe. Increasing technological advancements in building industry coupled with the advantages provided by modular construction such as reduced building schedule, reduced cost, greater flexibility, reuse, and less material waste are contributing to the product demand.
