Prefabricated Housing Market

The prefabricated housing market has witnessed rapid development in recent years, with both domestic and international markets showing favorable growth trends.

Domestic Market Development

• Strong Policy Support: National policies are vigorously promoting the development of the prefabricated housing market. The '15th Five-Year Plan for Urban Renewal' issued by the State Council emphasizes the development of intelligent construction, the promotion of prefabricated decoration, and the expansion of the application ratio of prefabricated buildings. The Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and the National Development and Reform Commission have also introduced a carbon peak implementation plan, setting a core target of achieving a 40% share of prefabricated buildings in newly constructed urban buildings by 2030.
• Meeting Urban Renewal Needs: Currently, a large number of old residential areas and dilapidated buildings in China are entering a cycle of renovation and refurbishment. Traditional construction methods struggle to meet the demands of large-scale and fast-paced urban renewal. Prefabricated houses, with their modular, standardized, and lightweight advantages, are perfectly suited for scenarios such as old house renovation, unit transformation, and space upgrading. They can significantly shorten construction periods and minimize disruptions to residents' lives.
• Significant Export Growth: In the first quarter of 2026, the export growth rate of prefabricated buildings reached 45%, becoming a new calling card for 'Made in China' overseas. The simultaneous boom in both domestic and international markets has opened up vast opportunities for industry development.

International Market Development

• Impressive Export Performance: Chinese prefabricated houses continue to gain popularity in the international market. According to Shenzhen Customs data, in the first four months of this year, the export value of mobile homes by enterprises across the country through Shenzhen ports reached 1.68 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 19.6%. Products have been sold to over 150 countries and regions, with overseas customers continuously repurchasing, reflecting recognition of the new 'Chinese construction' model.
• Wide Range of Applications: In addition to traditional sectors such as hotels, senior living apartments, dormitories, and office buildings, the massive construction of global data centers has also propelled the popularity of domestically produced modular buildings overseas. Relevant companies have delivered over 1,000 megawatts of installed capacity in modular prefabricated data center projects, covering countries and regions such as Malaysia, Indonesia, the Middle East, and Italy.
• Broad Market Prospects: Market research institutions predict that by 2030, the global modular building market size will exceed 142.8 billion US dollars, indicating the enormous development potential of the prefabricated housing market.
