Pre-Engineered Buildings Market Dynamics

Increasing Infrastructure Investments In Fast-Growing Economies

Increasing infrastructure investments owing to the rise in industrialization and urbanization in developing economies such as India, Vietnam and China are expected to drive the pre-engineered buildings market. 

India plans to spend USD 1.4 trillion on infrastructure during 2019-23 to have sustainable development of the country. Investments are happening in sectors like retail, urban development, industrial, aviation and hospitality.

Besides, rising investments in commercial spaces are expected to positively contribute to the pre-engineered building market revenue. For instance, in 2022 IIG release the information of 269 investment projects in the Commercial Real Estate subsector in India worth USD 1.62 billion. Furthermore, for the first time in 2022, China's annual commercial real estate investment is projected to exceed USD 47 billion (300 billion yuan). 

Last year, China's commercial real estate investment experienced an impressive rebound as the total amount of transactions increased 33% year over year to 273 billion yuan. Due to the robust market, the amount for the following year is anticipated to increase by between 10 and 15% and exceed 300 billion yuan.

Sustainability and Green Building Practices

Increasing awareness of environmental issues and the need for sustainable development has led to a shift towards green building practices. Pre-engineered buildings offer several advantages in terms of sustainability, including energy efficiency, reduced carbon footprint and minimized waste generation. 

The use of environmental-friendly materials, energy-efficient designs and renewable energy integration in pre-engineered buildings aligns with the goals of sustainable construction.

Various projects are running on the sustainable prefabricated concept. For instance Baoye Center project, Baoye Group’s headquarters building in Shanghai. It's important to note that 40% of the Baoye Centre project consists of prefabricated building materials. 

The project serves as an example of "maximizing the quality of office space" and incorporates green practices in the areas of air tightness, water tightness, energy efficiency and building materials. By LEED v2009: Core and Shell, Shanghai Baoye Centre gained LEED Gold certification in 2018.

Competition From Traditional Construction Practices

The construction industry is known for its resistance to change and adherence to traditional construction practices. Some stakeholders may be hesitant to adopt pre-engineered buildings due to unfamiliarity with the technology, concerns about quality and durability or resistance to deviating from conventional construction methods. Overcoming this resistance requires education, awareness campaigns and showcasing successful pre-engineered building projects.

Furthermore, despite the advantages and cost-effectiveness of pre-engineered buildings, there may be a lack of awareness and understanding among potential customers, including developers, architects and contractors. The market's growth may be hindered if potential buyers are not familiar with the benefits and capabilities of pre-engineered buildings compared to traditional construction methods.

Pre-Engineered Buildings Market Segment Analysis

The global pre-engineered buildings market is segmented based on structure, application and region.

Rising Demand For Flexible Designs in Single-Storey Buildings

Single-Storey holds a share of around 52.1% of the global pre-engineered buildings market. Single-storey pre-engineered buildings (PEBs) are prefabricated or pre-manufactured structures using standardized designs and parts. These buildings are typically used for industrial, commercial, or agricultural purposes and are designed and fabricated in a factory before being transported to the construction site for assembly. 

Pre-engineered buildings are well-suited for single-story applications due to their versatility and adaptability. Single-story structures can be easily designed and constructed using pre-engineered building systems to meet specific requirements, whether it's for warehouses, industrial facilities, retail outlets, recreational spaces, or institutional buildings. The flexibility in design allows for customization and optimization of the building layout, size and functional requirements, making pre-engineered buildings an attractive option for single-story projects.

Pre-Engineered Buildings Market Geographical Share

Asia-Pacific’s Cheap Labor, Trade Liberalization and Favorable Government Construction Policies

Asia-Pacific accounted for the largest market share of more than 48.8% in the year 2022 and is also projected to record the highest growth rate during the forecast period. The growth in the Asia-Pacific can be attributed to the increasing demand for pre-engineered buildings from the growing non-residential construction and infrastructural development in the region. 

The major demand for pre-engineered buildings in the region is contributed by India and China, owing to the growing population, economic growth, government investments and demand for low-cost green buildings. 

Furthermore, foreign investors are setting up their factories and distribution centers in the developing countries of Asia-Pacific owing to cheap labor, trade liberalization and favorable government policies, further boosting the pre-engineered buildings market growth. It acts as an opportunity for the pre-engineered building manufacturers and suppliers in this region.

COVID-19 Impact on Pre-Engineered Buildings Market

COVID Impact

The pandemic shifted priorities in the construction industry, with a greater focus on health, safety and sustainability. While pre-engineered buildings offer advantages in terms of sustainability and faster construction, the immediate concerns related to pandemic safety measures overshadowed other considerations, impacting the market's growth potential.

Furthermore, the need for remote working and social distancing measures presented challenges for project management, coordination and collaboration. The adoption of remote working practices slowed down decision-making processes, communication and project implementation, affecting the overall construction industry, including the pre-engineered buildings market.

Russia-Ukraine War Impact 

The conflict has primarily affected the region of Eastern Europe, including Ukraine and neighboring countries. The geopolitical instability and security concerns have disrupted construction activities and supply chains in the affected areas. The disruption impacted the demand for pre-engineered buildings and slow down market growth in the region.

The conflict and its aftermath have led to the delay or cancellation of construction projects in the affected regions. Uncertainty surrounding the security situation, economic instability and shifting priorities can result in postponed or abandoned projects. As a result, the demand for pre-engineered buildings in those areas is negatively impacted.
