Manufactured Home Wholesaling in the US - Industry Market Research Report

Home sweet home: Rising interest rates are expected to limit industry demand

The industry supplies prefabricated homes and construction materials to downstream markets, such as dealers, retailers, and land developers. Industry performance follows demand from the downstream construction sector; the housing market had also grown steadily even during the pandemic, enabling manufactured home wholesalers to tap into a consistent stream of demand. Construction activity has primarily benefited from low interest rates throughout the pandemic, high disposable income levels, and elevated demand for housing. This trend essentially reversed itself in 2022, as the Federal Reserve has remained committed to raising interest rates to combat high inflation. Despite rising rates, industry revenue is still expected to marginally rise at an CAGR of 0.2% to an estimated $32.5 billion, including a plummet of 6.5% in 2023, as profit reaches 5.4%.
