The global market for modular and prefabricated nonresidential building construction is poised for growth in the foreseeable future, driven by the trends of increased urbanization and industrialization. According to the World Economic Forum, urbanization reached 56.5% of the global population in 2021, with Northern American countries leading with 82.75% urban residents. The United Nations predicts substantial urban growth in countries such as India, China, and Nigeria. The surge in urban development, with its demand for precise planning and cost reduction, has prompted construction firms to adopt proven, cost-effective technologies such as precasting and prefabricated methods to meet high standards and ensure uniform quality.

The modular and prefabricated nonresidential building construction market is expected to benefit from the rising number of construction site accidents. Construction site accidents pose risks of injury or property damage, and modular construction methods can enhance worker safety by minimizing the chances of defects and failures. In the US, fatal falls, slips, and trips in the construction industry increased from 245 in 2020 to 281 in 2021, with nearly 1 in 5 workplace deaths occurring in construction. This trend underscores the need for safer construction practices and boosts the adoption of modular and prefabricated techniques.

Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is emerging as a promising technology in the timber construction segment, gaining traction in nonresidential building construction. CLT serves as an alternative to steel and concrete, offering a low-cost option. Additionally, 3D printing in construction is evolving, enabling the creation of complex components or entire buildings with advantages such as low labor costs, faster construction, and higher accuracy. Notably, Luyten 3D launched the Platypus X12 concrete printer, a large-scale, flexible, and AI-powered mobile printer for construction applications.

Major companies in the modular and prefabricated nonresidential building construction market are actively innovating, with a focus on technologies such as modular integrated construction (MiC). MiC involves manufacturing building modules off-site and assembling them on-site. China State Construction International Holdings Limited introduced Hailong Cubes, designed for quick assembly, energy efficiency, and sustainability, suitable for diverse applications such as housing, offices, schools, and hospitals.

In June 2021, VESTA Modular, a US-based modular building provider, acquired Meridian Brick to expand its customer base and add approximately 350 modular units, showcasing the industry's commitment to growth and innovation.
