Modular construction refers to a process in which a building is constructed off-site, under controlled plant conditions, using the same materials and designing principles as conventionally built structures. Modular buildings are made of repetitive sections called modules that get assembled and joined together to form the complete structure. These pre-fabricated modules help improve construction efficiency by allowing multiple activities to occur simultaneously. Some key advantages of modular construction include reduced waste, minimal noise and dust disturbance, precise dimension control, and all-weather construction. With urban populations growing rapidly, there is a rising demand for innovative construction methods that enable faster project delivery at reasonable costs.
The Global Modular Construction Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 113 billion in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 6.7% over the forecast period 2024-2028.
Key Takeaways
