Global Supply of Container Houses

China is the world's leading supplier of container houses, with its export scale continuously expanding and products covering more than 150 countries and regions globally.

I. Export Scale and Growth Trends

• Significant Growth in Total Export Value: In the first half of 2026, China's total export value of prefabricated buildings under HS code 9406 reached $2.79 billion, a year-on-year increase of 45%. Among them, steel-structured modular houses were the main export category.
• Impressive Export Data from Single Port: Taking the Shenzhen port as an example, in the first four months of 2026, the export value of movable houses reached 1.68 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 19.6%. The products were shipped to more than 150 countries and regions.
• Leading Global Market Share: China's export volume of container houses has ranked first globally. With high cost-effectiveness and short construction periods, its products are highly popular in the international market.

II. Product Features and Technological Advantages

• Modular Design: Container houses adopt a modular design, breaking down the entire building into independent modules. The main structure, water and electricity pipelines, and sanitary equipment are assembled in the factory, allowing for rapid on-site assembly like building blocks.
• High-Precision Manufacturing: The first steel-structured modular intelligent production line in China can produce up to 50 modules per day, with manufacturing precision stably controlled between 1 and 2 millimeters, far exceeding that of traditional buildings.
• Low-Carbon and Environmentally Friendly: Supporting multiple disassembly and reuse cycles, container houses reduce construction waste emissions by approximately 90% compared to traditional fixed temporary buildings, with higher resource utilization rates, aligning with global green construction trends.

III. Application Scenarios and Market Demand

• Diverse Scenario Adaptation: Container houses have covered dozens of scenarios, including engineering camps, mobile commerce, cultural and tourism accommodation, and emergency support, meeting the differentiated needs of various purchasers.
• Strong Overseas Demand: Purchasers in engineering camps, cultural and tourism, and emergency sectors have shown increasing attention to the reusability, cross-border compliance, and low-carbon attributes of detachable and relocatable container houses. Overseas market demand continues to grow rapidly.
• Expansion into High-End Markets: With the explosion of global AI computing infrastructure construction, high-end residences and data centers have become important growth areas. Chinese container house companies are actively expanding into high-end markets.
