The Global Modular Construction Materials Market Size is Anticipated to Exceed USD 184.74 Billion by 2033, Growing at a CAGR of 5.60% from 2023 to 2033.

Market Overview

Modular construction materials are pre-fabricated components that are assembled off-site and then delivered to the construction site for final installation. These materials have significant benefits over typical on-site construction methods.  

Modular construction materials can be used in a variety of construction projects, including residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. The specific modular construction materials used in a project are determined by several criteria, including the building's design, location, and intended purpose. Steel, wood, concrete, and composites are popular materials used in modular construction.

For Instance, In January 2023, MoRTH announced the use of prefabricated material for creating roads, which is expected to accelerate the pace of highway construction from 33 km/day to 100 km-150 km/day.
