Pre-Engineered Metal Buildings Market Report 2025

The pre-engineered metal buildings market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $20.2 billion in 2024 to $21.36 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to rising industrialization, growing demand for cost-effective construction, increased awareness of time-saving benefits in construction, a rising preference for low-maintenance buildings, and expanded use in warehouses and logistics centers.

The pre-engineered metal buildings market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $26.33 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4%. The projected growth in the forecast period can be linked to the increasing demand for sustainable construction, greater adoption in commercial and institutional projects, growing investments in logistics and warehousing, rising need for rapid construction solutions, and ongoing urban expansion. Key trends expected in the forecast period include advancements in design automation and modeling software, development of advanced materials with improved durability and insulation, innovations in modular and hybrid building systems, integration of smart building technologies, and enhanced corrosion-resistant coatings.

The growing emphasis on sustainable construction practices is expected to drive the expansion of the pre-engineered metal buildings market. Sustainable construction involves building and managing structures in ways that minimize environmental harm, conserve resources, and support long-term ecological balance. This focus is increasing due to environmental concerns, as sustainable methods help reduce carbon emissions and lessen the overall impact of buildings on the environment. Pre-engineered metal buildings contribute to these practices by reducing material waste through precise fabrication and enhancing energy efficiency with insulation-friendly designs, offering lasting environmental benefits. For example, in April 2024, Saint-Gobain S.A., a France-based construction materials company, reported that 85% of surveyed professionals were involved in sustainable construction activities, with 92% expected to participate within the next five years. Additionally, 51% had received training in sustainable construction, marking a six-point increase compared to the 2023 survey. Hence, the rising focus on sustainable construction practices is boosting the growth of the pre-engineered metal buildings market.

Leading companies in the pre-engineered metal buildings market are developing advanced technological solutions, such as business-to-business (B2B) websites, to enhance project planning, customer engagement, and procurement efficiency. B2B websites simplify ordering, provide instant quotes, and allow customers to customize building components online. For instance, in November 2023, Double Black Construction, a Canada-based company, launched a new website designed to streamline the quoting process for pre-engineered steel buildings. The platform offers easy access to customizable options and quickly generates accurate pricing and specifications tailored to project needs. This digital solution aims to improve customer experience and project planning efficiency by bridging online inquiries with engineered construction, reflecting a modern approach to accessibility and responsiveness in the industry.

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.

The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the construction sector, particularly in materials procurement and project costs. Higher duties on imported steel, aluminum, lumber, and machinery have driven up expenses for builders, contractors, and infrastructure developers, leading to increased project bids and delayed timelines. Construction equipment manufacturers face similar challenges, with tariffs on essential components and raw materials inflating production costs and squeezing margins. Additionally, retaliatory tariffs in international markets have curtailed exports of U.S.-made construction equipment and materials, further affecting profitability. The sector must now prioritize local sourcing, modular construction techniques, and supply chain diversification to control costs and ensure project viability amid ongoing trade uncertainties.

Pre-engineered metal buildings (PEMBs) are steel structures fabricated in factories and designed for on-site assembly using bolted connections. These buildings are pre-designed to meet specific dimensions, load requirements, and environmental conditions, enabling faster construction and minimizing material waste. Their primary purpose is to offer cost-effective, durable, and customizable building solutions.

The main categories of pre-engineered metal buildings include steel buildings, aluminum buildings, and composite buildings. Steel buildings consist mainly of steel components and are valued for their strength, durability, and rapid construction. They are available with various roof types such as single slope, multiple slopes, curved, and custom designs, and come in different sizes: small (up to 10,000 sq. ft.), medium (10,000-50,000 sq. ft.), and large (over 50,000 sq. ft.). These buildings are utilized in applications such as warehouses, industrial, commercial, infrastructure, and others, serving end-use sectors including construction, manufacturing, logistics, and healthcare.
