Jiangmen Prefabricated Houses
Prefabricated houses in Jiangmen, represented by modular construction, are characterized by high efficiency, a high prefabrication rate, and wide applications, occupying an important position in the global construction market.
Representative Enterprises and Technologies
The Xinhui District of Jiangmen is home to two representative enterprises: CIMC Modular Building Systems and China State Construction Hailong Technology. CIMC Modular Building Systems breaks down buildings into independent modules, which are manufactured in factories and then transported to construction sites for assembly. Its business covers more than 20 countries and regions worldwide, with over 200 projects implemented, such as high-end elderly care apartments in the UK, hotels in Iceland's polar climate, hotels in Saudi Arabia along the Belt and Road, and office buildings in Cameroon. The interior finishing of these buildings, including plumbing, electrical, fire protection, and sanitary facilities, is all prefabricated in factories. For example, the student apartments built for Hong Kong have a prefabrication rate as high as 98%, with a 114% increase in construction speed and a 71% reduction in labor costs for talent apartments. China State Construction Hailong Technology is the "national team" for concrete modular integrated construction. Its self-developed "Intelligent Construction - MiC (Modular Integrated Construction) Technology" transforms the construction process from a series of sequential steps to parallel operations, breaking the linear construction schedule of traditional sites. The "super factory" of China State Construction Hailong in Shadui Town, Xinhui District, delivers 12,000 steel box and concrete MiC modules annually, with workers producing building "components" on assembly lines like manufacturing cars.
Market Recognition and Development Prospects
The modular buildings in Xinhui, Jiangmen, have received praise from the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and have been featured in reports by CCTV-2's "Global Business" program, highlighting the growing popularity and surge in orders for Chinese modular buildings overseas. Data from the General Administration of Customs shows that from 2015 to 2025, China's exports of prefabricated buildings increased from $1.472 billion to approximately $4.339 billion, nearly tripling in a decade, with a growth rate of 45% in the first quarter of 2026. Market research institutions predict that by 2030, the global market size for modular buildings will exceed $142.8 billion, and Jiangmen's prefabricated housing industry is expected to continue benefiting from this trend.
