Major trends in the forecast period include increasing use of pre-engineered buildings for warehouses and industrial facilities, growing adoption of cost-effective and faster construction solutions, rising demand for multi-story pre-engineered structures in commercial and institutional projects, expansion of cold storage, logistics, and manufacturing sector driving peb deployment, advancements in steel frame, roof, and wall panel engineering.

The increasing investments in infrastructure development are expected to drive growth in the pre-engineered building market. Infrastructure development encompasses the planning, designing, financing, construction, and maintenance of physical and organizational structures and facilities that are vital for a society's or economy's functioning. The rise in infrastructure investments, often linked to urbanization projects and the modernization of existing facilities, underscores the essential role of smart elevators in addressing the vertical mobility needs of contemporary urban spaces and renovated buildings. Pre-engineered buildings provide rapid, cost-effective, and customizable solutions for various applications, including warehouses, distribution centers, commercial facilities, and transportation hubs, thus enhancing construction efficiency and flexibility. For example, in July 2025, data from the Office for National Statistics, a government agency in the UK, reported that total investment in the infrastructure sector rose to £20.3 billion ($23.64 billion) in 2024, representing a 16.9% growth compared with 2023. Therefore, the rise in infrastructure development investments is poised to drive the growth of the pre-engineered building market.

Major companies in the pre-engineered building market are making strategic investments in pre-engineered building (PEB) manufacturing plants to boost production capacity and address the rising demand for customizable and cost-effective construction solutions across various sectors. A PEB manufacturing plant is specifically designed to produce pre-engineered building components using advanced manufacturing processes that ensure precision, efficiency, and quality in construction projects. For example, in July 2024, Pennar Industries, an India-based manufacturer specializing in engineering and infrastructure solutions, announced plans to establish a 16-acre PEB manufacturing plant in Raebareli, Uttar Pradesh. This facility will feature a built-up area of 12,000 square meters and a production capacity of 36,000 metric tons per annum. Scheduled to be operational by Q2 2024, the plant aims to reduce transportation costs and enhance customer service in East and North India, focusing on growth areas such as metal buildings, tubes, and industrial components.

In June 2023, Ambassador Supply, LLC, a US-based supplier of building materials, construction solutions, and industry-focused investment services, acquired Straight Line Metal Buildings, LLC for an undisclosed sum. The acquisition is intended to help Ambassador Supply, LLC broaden its footprint in the pre-engineered metal building (PEMB) market, enhance its portfolio of products, and improve its ability to deliver customizable steel building solutions. Straight Line Metal Buildings, LLC is a US-based manufacturer and installer of pre-engineered metal structures.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs are impacting the pre-engineered buildings market by increasing the cost of imported steel, aluminum, metal panels, and fabrication components essential for frames, roofs, and columns. These effects are most significant in warehouse, industrial, and infrastructure segments across regions such as North America and Europe, where reliance on imported steel is high. However, tariffs have pushed manufacturers to strengthen domestic sourcing, expand local steel fabrication capacity, and enhance efficiency in structural engineering to offset rising material costs.

This pre-engineered buildings market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.

Pre-engineered buildings are metal structures with a factory-made structural frame, featuring a standard roof and wall support that are assembled on-site. The built-up components are manufactured to precise sizes in a factory, transported to the construction site, and then welded together.

Pre-engineered buildings find extensive applications in various settings such as factories, community halls, parking sheds, commercial showrooms, cold storage facilities, stadiums, railway platforms, airports, and more. They are particularly favored in warehouses due to their efficiency in construction time and cost-effectiveness. The main structures of pre-engineered buildings can be categorized as single-story or multi-story. Single-story pre-engineered buildings refer to those with only one floor or level. The key components used in the construction of these buildings include walls, columns, beams, roofs, and floors. Pre-engineered buildings are widely employed in warehouses, commercial industries, and various infrastructure projects.Asia-Pacific was the largest region in the pre-engineered buildings market in 2025.
