Prefabricated Building and Structural Steel Market

Market Overview:

The global prefabricated building and structural steel market size reached US$ 235.4 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 381.8 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4% during 2024-2032. 

Prefabricated buildings are manufactured in a factory and assembled on the construction site depending on the preference of an individual. They are made by assembling components, such as roofs, walls, and staircases, at off-sites by builders in specialized facilities. They are fabricated using numerous materials, including metal and wooden panels, glass, composites, plastics, and other reinforced plastics. They help save time and cost and eliminate the need for skilled workers to be present on the construction site. On the other hand, structural steel represents the basic framework wherein prefabricated parts are installed. It offers various advantages, such as durability, design flexibility, ease of expansion, weather resistance, efficient material utilization, minimal maintenance, and eco-friendly nature.

Prefabricated Building and Structural Steel Market Trends:

Significant growth in the construction industry, an increase in infrastructural activities, and technological advancements in the construction process represent one of the key factors positively influencing the market. In addition, rising awareness among individuals about the benefits of using prefabricated material and structural steel, such as flexibility, durability, energy efficiency, and faster completion, is creating a positive outlook for the market. Apart from this, the expansion of hotels, institutes, shopping complexes, and high-rise buildings is catalyzing the demand for these materials to enhance the durability of infrastructure. In line with this, the widespread adoption of prefabricated materials in temporary construction facilities, office spaces, medical camps, evacuation centers, schools, apartment blocks, and single-detached houses is offering lucrative growth opportunities to manufacturers. Furthermore, the shifting focus toward waste management and minimizing harmful emissions are increasing the adoption of green building practices, which, in turn, is driving the demand for these materials. Moreover, the increasing traction of smart cities is catalyzing the demand for prefabricated buildings and structural steel, which is expected to propel the market growth.
