• Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, most of the countries have gone under lockdown, due to which various building and construction operations are disruptively stopped, which is hampering the prefabricated building systems market growth.

The panel systems segment held the largest share in the prefabricated building systems market in 2020 and is growing at a CAGR of 6.5%, owing to the increasing demand for a panel system. The demand for panel system such as ventilated thermal panel is on an upsurge in the residential and non-residential sector owing to superior properties it offers such as short production time, easy services of transportation and installation, adaptable designs, easy re-location, can be used in any kind of environmental conditions, and more. In addition, the ventilated thermal panel (VTP) based wall and roof system offers homeowners and builders a faster and more energy-efficient building. Also, prefabricated building systems significantly reduce on-site waste removal costs while eliminating costly material overruns and delays caused by weather and material shortages. Thus, these extensive characteristics of panel systems are the key factors anticipated to boost the usage of prefabricated building systems during the forecast period.

The commercial segment held the largest share in the prefabricated building systems market in 2020 and is growing at a CAGR of 4% during 2021-2026, owing to increasing usage of prefabricated building systems in the commercial sector. Prefabricated building systems are widely used in the construction of railways, roads, mining, hydropower, petroleum, tourism, and military affairs such as office, accommodation, canteen, recreation, gym, and more. It is widely used in these applications as prefabrication takes less than half the time when compared to traditional construction. This is due to better upfront planning, elimination of on-site weather factors, subcontractor scheduling delays, and quicker fabrication as multiple pieces can be constructed simultaneously. Furthermore, the recovery in office and commercial construction, coupled with continued gains in institutional, industrial, and non-residential construction, will provide opportunities for the prefabricated building systems market. Thus, it is anticipated that this expansion will significantly drive the prefabricated building systems market growth in the commercial industry during the forecast period.

Asia-Pacific region held the largest share in the prefabricated building systems market in 2020 up to 47%, owing to the flourishing commercial construction sector in the region. China is also looking to shift away from large scale infrastructure projects toward more locally oriented projects. In line with the 13th Five-Year Plan (FYP), projects such as water supply and treatment plants, road upgrades, urban metro systems, and public parks are aimed at reducing road traffic and pollution, redeveloping dilapidated housing, and encouraging the development of small and medium-sized towns. Japan's Kansai International Airport looks to invest about 100 billion yen ($911 million) through 2025 to upgrade the larger terminal, seeking to boost capacity at the country's No. 2 hub for foreign flights. In addition, the Indian government has aimed at making air travel affordable, improving regional connectivity, and developing regional airports. In February 2020, the Union Budget presented has proposed creating 100 new airports by 2024 to help growing air traffic under Centre's Udan scheme. Thus, it is anticipated that with the flourishing commercial construction industry, there will be an upsurge in the demand for prefabricated building systems, which will subsequently drive the prefabricated building systems market growth in the Asia Pacific during the forecast period.

 

In many developing economies, time and expense are the two parameters associated with construction operations that have long been considered a constraint on the growth of the industry. For several large construction industries around the world, overcoming this limitation has been one of the major obstacles. One of the main solutions to these concerns is the prefabricated building system. In today's market, prefabricated construction systems can minimize construction time by 30-50% and offer an alternative solution. The method is cost-effective since the on-site operations require less labor. The substantially lower amount of waste produced is another indirect effect associated with the fewer on-site activities associated with the process. Prefabricated building system activities are gaining ground in the construction industry for such advantages. Moreover, for energy efficiency and sustainable design, prefabricated building systems are also commended. Traditional construction methods based on calcium oxide require additional materials that contribute to increased waste. However, when prefabricated sub-assemblies are built in a factory, it is possible to recycle in-house additional bulking agent materials. This is a major change when it comes to sending waste directly from a conventional construction site to a landfill. Thus, the extensive advantages of using prefabricated building systems act as a driver for the prefabricated building systems market.

The prefabricated design has come to be recognized as a quick, green, and cost-effective way of building construction. While this method has been used most prominently for small residential buildings, larger projects such as prefabricated towers and skyscrapers have now taken a turn. In the plant, prefabricated parts need to be assembled and then transported for assembly to the site. And this process entails a variety of risks, such as damaged delivery of goods, untimely delivery, expensive transportation, and more. In principle, prefabricated construction systems, built for performance, may seem perfect, but they lack personalization and detail. A disconnection occurs between the architect and the manufacturer by making parts off-site instead of on-site. Moreover, any low-cost alternative would pose a challenge to the demand for the prefabricated construction method. Thus, the transportation issues associated with the prefabricated building systems may hamper the market growth during the forecast period.
