The U.K. is one of the leading markets for modular construction owing to its high rate of adoption. The chronic shortage of skilled labor, massive ongoing investment in residential housing development, and a renewed focus on upgrading healthcare infrastructure are expected to drive the market in the country over the forecast period.

In countries such as Sweden, Canada, and Finland, extremely cold weather and shorter daytime inhibit traditional building methods. Consequently, modular construction has emerged as a logical alternative to conventional methods. As of 2020, around 84% of new houses in Sweden are built using some form of modular construction.

Irrespective of the type of material used, the modular option makes it possible to take advantage of economies of scale, faster speed, and improved quality control, thus making it an increasingly attractive option. Furthermore, modular construction exhibits a substantial decrease in waste generation associated with traditional building methods.

Lack of awareness, consumer perception related to quality, and difficulty in availing of finances are some of the factors restraining the market growth. Also, the threat of an economic slowdown in the key markets including the U.K., China, and the U.S. is anticipated to be a major barrier to market growth.
