The rising demand for green building is projected to boost the growth of the single-family housing construction market (individual houses) in the future. Green building entails designing, constructing, and operating buildings in an environmentally responsible and resource-efficient manner. Techniques associated with single-family housing construction include the integration of green building practices such as effective insulation and high-performance windows, which optimize energy usage throughout the building's lifecycle. For example, in August 2024, Eurostat, a Luxembourg-based government agency, reported that construction production in the euro area increased by 1% in June 2024 compared to June 2023. Thus, the growing emphasis on green building is driving the expansion of the single-family housing construction market.

Major companies operating in the single-family home construction (individual houses) market are prioritizing the development of advanced technologies such as modular construction, artificial intelligence (AI), digital twins, blockchain, virtual and augmented reality, 4D simulations, and 3D printing to streamline construction processes in terms of time and cost. 3D concrete printing is a modern construction technique in which a programmed printer follows a defined path to print layer by layer using computer-controlled robots, forming 3D structural components for houses and other infrastructure. For example, in January 2023, the Department of Science and Innovation (DSI), a South African government organization responsible for scientific advancement, in partnership with the University of Johannesburg (UJ), unveiled South Africa’s first 3D-printed building constructed with a concrete printer. This achievement highlights the potential of 3D printing to transform housing construction by minimizing material waste, enhancing efficiency, and supporting the development of sustainable, cost-effective residential solutions.
