Guangdong Prefabricated Assembled Houses
The development of prefabricated assembled houses in Guangdong is rapid, with significant manifestations in policy promotion, industrial development, market conditions, as well as technology and application.
Strong policy promotion: Multiple places in Guangdong have introduced clear policies to support the development of prefabricated assembled houses. Guangzhou requires that starting from 2026, 100% of the residential land for transfer in the city will implement prefabricated buildings. It also stipulates that the proportion of the modular building's floor area in the total floor area of new resettlement housing and other projects should be no less than 15%. Shenzhen plans to have implemented modular building projects covering an area of no less than 3 million square meters by 2028. These policies provide strong guarantees for the promotion and application of prefabricated assembled houses in Guangdong.
Good industrial development trend: Yunfu aims at the goal of a '100-billion-yuan green building materials industrial cluster', accelerates the cultivation of the prefabricated building industry, and strives to build a supply demonstration base for prefabricated buildings in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. It aims to build no less than 5 prefabricated building industrial bases in the city by 2030, with the proportion of prefabricated buildings in newly built floor area reaching 50%. Yunfu has obvious advantages in developing this industry. It has a solid foundation in the building materials industry, and the core raw materials required for prefabricated components can basically be supplied and transformed locally. For example, the exploitable reserves of building stones reach 44.3 billion tons, and the annual mining capacity of sand and gravel aggregates is 170 million tons, ranking first in the province. At the same time, a complete industrial chain has been formed, covering mining, creative design, production and processing, engineering installation, after-sales service, and other links. Moreover, the logistics channels are smooth, and the water transportation cost is more than 60% lower than that of highway transportation.
Outstanding market performance: Prefabricated houses made in China are selling well overseas. In the first four months of 2026, the export value of movable houses in the customs area under the jurisdiction of Guangzhou Customs was 1.4 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 38.1%, showing that Guangdong's prefabricated assembled houses have strong competitiveness in the international market.
Breakthroughs in technology and application: Modular buildings are a more integrated model among prefabricated assembled buildings. China has made breakthroughs in technical paths such as concrete modularization, steel structure modularization, and steel-concrete composite modularization. Modular buildings have advantages such as good earthquake resistance and being environmentally friendly (reducing building waste by about 80%). They are widely used in various scenarios such as residences, schools, and hospitals.
