Container House Sales Situation

The overall situation of container house sales is positive, with strong market demand, a wide range of application scenarios, and significant export growth.

I. Strong Export Performance

In the first four months, the value of exported movable houses at the Shenzhen port reached 1.68 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 19.6%, with destinations covering more than 150 countries and regions. According to data from the General Administration of Customs, in the first half of 2026, China's total export value of HS9406 prefabricated buildings was 2.79 billion US dollars, a year-on-year increase of 45%, with high-end residential buildings and data centers becoming important growth areas. According to CIMC's semi-annual report for 2026, the revenue from its modular data center business increased more than fivefold year-on-year. The Malaysia 2312 project, as the world's first ultra-large prefabricated modular data center, had a construction period nearly half that of traditional methods.

II. Diversified Development of the Domestic Market

1. Market Size Expansion: In 2022, the global market size of container residences reached 293.36 billion yuan and is expected to increase to 384.912 billion yuan by 2028, with a compound annual growth rate of 5%. The domestic market has formed a vast demand space with the rise of scenarios such as offices, scenic spots, and homestays.
2. Rich Application Scenarios: They cover areas such as temporary construction sites, cultural tourism homestays, commercial spaces, and emergency shelters. For example, in cultural tourism scenarios, container houses are transformed into popular homestays, commercial street shops, and camping reception houses. Yunsheng Integrated Housing in Xingtai, Hebei, can provide multi-scenario adaptation solutions.
3. Driven by Technological Upgrades: Modular buildings, through precise factory assembly and container transportation, have shortened the construction period by more than 60% compared to traditional methods. China Construction Science and Industry Corporation's hotel project in Papua New Guinea had an overall project period of only 7 months, with labor costs reduced by 40% and material losses reduced by more than 50%.

III. Distinctive Regional Market Characteristics

In Handan, enterprises such as Hongda Movable Houses and Hebei Zhongtai Steel Structure are representative, with products covering conventional color steel plate houses and steel structure container houses, meeting the differentiated needs of engineering construction and commercial operations. Chengjianbang Integrated Housing in Chengdu has achieved good product condition after more than 5 product turnovers in railway and highway projects in the southwest region through its full-link service capabilities.

IV. Industry Trends and Challenges

The global explosion of AI computing infrastructure has further driven the demand for container houses, but issues such as incomplete industry standards, product homogenization, and export certification barriers still exist. Users need to pay attention to enterprise qualifications, product performance, and full-link service capabilities, and give priority to manufacturers with research and development capabilities.
