Global Modular Construction Market Size is valued at USD 100.1 Bn in 2024 and is predicted to reach USD 179.0 Bn by the year 2034 at a 6.1% CAGR during the forecast period for 2025-2034.
Modular construction is constructing a building in sections that are transported to the job site and assembled there. The structures are constructed in sections and assembled in their final locations. Modular construction causes significantly less disruption to the surrounding area and produces significantly less trash than conventional building methods. Rapid urbanization and industrialization in emerging economies drive the worldwide modular building market. In addition, a larger consumer base will require the market to expand rapidly to meet rising demand.
The industry is driven by government efforts to lessen construction waste and increase the prevalence of environmentally friendly structures. The government's increased spending on R&D for innovative construction solutions is also anticipated to push the prefabricated construction market soon, which is a major driver of the expansion of the modular construction industry. As a result, demand for modular constructions is expected to rise. In addition, key players increased focus on new product development and strategic collaborations led to the growth of the global modular construction market. It drives expansion globally and is expected to boost market expansion in the coming years.
However, preparing for a key project beforehand raises manufacturing investments, which stresses the investment rate for subsequent stage planning and slows down the modular construction market. Furthermore, increasing R&D activities and investments by prominent players are expected to create lucrative growth opportunities in revenue for players operating in the global modular construction market over the forecast period.
The modular construction market is segmented based on type, material, module and end-user. Type segment includes permanent and relocatable. Material segment includes steel, wood, and concrete. By module, the market is segmented into four-sided, open-sided, partially open-sided, mixed modules & floor cassettes, modules supported by a primary structure, and others. The market is segmented by end-user into residential, office, education, retail & commercial, hospitality, healthcare, and others.
The utility industry modular construction category is expected to have a significant global market share in 2022 due to using off-site manufacturing techniques, permanent modular construction sustainably prefabricates single- and multi-story buildings in modular sections. It can be integrated into preexisting structures or constructed from scratch.
The healthcare segment is projected to grow rapidly in the global modular construction market because medical, surgical, clinical, and dental procedures necessitate silence, safety, and cleanliness that modular buildings can only provide. Time and money savings during construction are important, but so are using only high-quality materials and completing projects that will last time. Modular building techniques can provide low-cost, high-quality, and aesthetically pleasing custom-built facilities, especially in countries like the US, Germany, the UK, China, and India.
The North American modular construction market is expected to register the highest market share in revenue shortly. It can be attributed to increased demand from the residential and commercial sectors. The need for prefabricated structures is rising in emerging markets due to the government's efforts to encourage sustainable architecture. In addition, the presence of key market competitors and improvements in modular construction technology fuel expansion in the region's industries. In addition, Asia Pacific is projected to grow rapidly in the global modular construction market, boosted by increasing population, more buildings, a more robust construction market contributing to this development, and growing financial support from the business.

InsightAce Analytic follows a standard and comprehensive market research methodology focused on offering the most accurate and precise market insights. The methods followed for all our market research studies include three significant steps – primary research, secondary research, and data modeling and analysis - to derive the current market size and forecast it over the forecast period. In this study, these three steps were used iteratively to generate valid data points (minimum deviation), which were cross-validated through multiple approaches mentioned below in the data modeling section.
Through secondary research methods, information on the market under study, its peer, and the parent market was collected. This information was then entered into data models. The resulted data points and insights were then validated by primary participants.
Based on additional insights from these primary participants, more directional efforts were put into doing secondary research and optimize data models. This process was repeated till all data models used in the study produced similar results (with minimum deviation). This way, this iterative process was able to generate the most accurate market numbers and qualitative insights.
Secondary research
The secondary research sources that are typically mentioned to include, but are not limited to:
The paid sources for secondary research like Factiva, OneSource, Hoovers, and Statista
Primary Research:
Primary research involves telephonic interviews, e-mail interactions, as well as face-to-face interviews for each market, category, segment, and subsegment across geographies
The contributors who typically take part in such a course include, but are not limited to:
Data Modeling and Analysis:
In the iterative process (mentioned above), data models received inputs from primary as well as secondary sources. But analysts working on these models were the key. They used their extensive knowledge and experience about industry and topic to make changes and fine-tuning these models as per the product/service under study.
The standard data models used while studying this market were the top-down and bottom-up approaches and the company shares analysis model. However, other methods were also used along with these – which were specific to the industry and product/service under study.
