Shenzhen Standard Container House

Shenzhen standard container houses are modular buildings constructed using containers as basic units. They are characterized by rapid construction, low cost, and mobility, and are widely used in temporary or long-term construction scenarios.

Production Enterprises and Business Models

Several enterprises in Shenzhen are engaged in the production and related businesses of standard container houses. Shenzhen Zhicheng Light Steel Modular Housing Co., Ltd. mainly deals in products such as Shenzhen movable houses and residential container movable houses. It possesses strong research and development capabilities in light steel and color steel technologies, and its products are directly sold to multiple countries and regions at home and abroad. Shenzhen Falilai Integrated Housing Co., Ltd., established on December 15, 2017, with a registered capital of 10 million yuan, is mainly engaged in the design, sales, leasing, and related supporting services of integrated housing products such as container houses and movable houses. It adopts a business model of integrating leasing and sales. Its products can be applied to various temporary or long-term construction scenarios such as employee dormitories and offices, and support combined assembly.

Product Features

Container modular houses use containers as basic units and form modular building shapes through combination and assembly. They adopt a steel frame structure, with corrosion-resistant steel plates and environmentally friendly panels as core materials. Combined with ship anti-corrosion technology, their service life can reach more than 20 years. They also support customized designs in standard sizes ranging from 20 to 60 feet. Modular buildings break down houses into independent modules, complete precise assembly of steel structures and walls on factory assembly lines, and then transport them by container to the destination for on-site assembly. This shortens the construction period by more than 60% compared to traditional construction methods, saves labor and materials, and reduces the consumption of basic building materials.

Market Situation

In the first four months of 2026, the value of movable houses exported through Shenzhen ports reached 1.68 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 19.6%. The destinations covered more than 150 countries and regions, with the main products being movable houses made of other materials and steel-structure modular building units. Market research institutions predict that by 2030, the global market size of modular buildings will exceed 142.8 billion US dollars. Hotels, senior living apartments, and mine dormitories are currently areas with high overseas demand, providing a broad market space for the development of Shenzhen standard container houses.
