Report on the Development of Prefabricated House Industry in China

In recent years, the prefabricated housing industry has developed rapidly in China, becoming an important branch of the construction sector. Prefabricated houses, also known as prefabricated assembled buildings, are a form of construction in which building components are factory-produced and then transported to the site for assembly.

This construction method not only improves the construction efficiency, but also reduces the construction cost, which meets the requirements of modern urban construction and sustainable development.

Definition of prefabricated house industry

Prefabricated housing is a type of building constructed using industrialized production methods, where components are prefabricated in a factory and then transported to the construction site for assembly to form a complete structure.

This method of construction, also known as prefabricated building or ‘prefabricated’ construction, takes advantage of factory production to improve construction efficiency and quality.

Prefabricated assembly houses, also known as integrated houses, use industrialized production methods to build homes. In this method, some or all of the components of a home are prefabricated in a factory and then shipped to the construction site.

By means of reliable connections, these components are assembled into complete homes. In Europe, America, and Japan, this type of housing is referred to as industrialized housing or industrialized housing, highlighting its efficient and standardized production characteristics.

Industry Status and Market Size

According to data from Beziers Consulting, China prefabricated construction market size has reached RMB 268.897 billion in 2023, while the global prefabricated construction market size is as high as RMB 777.608 billion. The global prefabricated construction market size is expected to grow to RMB 977.146 billion by 2029, showing the strong growth momentum of the prefabricated housing industry.

In China, the prefabricated housing market is not only widely used in the residential sector, but is also gradually expanding to commercial buildings, industrial plants and other fields.

History of Prefabricated Housing Industry

The development history of prefabricated buildings can be divided into three stages: the start-up stage (1950-1977), the slow development stage (1978-2010) and the rapid development stage (2011 to present). In the start-up phase, China’s assembly building industry developed late, beginning in the 1950s.

in May 1956, China’s State Council promulgated the Decision on Strengthening and Developing the Construction Industry, a policy that marked the beginning of the development of industrialized construction and pointed out the direction for the industry’s future development.

However, against the backdrop of the planned economy system at the time, the limited degree of marketization and the lack of incentives for companies to innovate technologically led to a relatively low level of technology in the construction industry, and the development of construction industrialization and assembled buildings almost came to a standstill. Nonetheless, this policy laid an important foundation for the subsequent development of the industry.

With the advent of reform and opening up, China’s assembled building industry gradually entered a period of slow development after a period of stagnation. During this period, the government began to pay attention to the development of construction industrialization and introduced a series of policies and measures to promote the development of the industry.

However, the development process of the industry is still slow due to various reasons such as market environment and technical system. After entering the 21st century, prefabricated assembly buildings have entered a rapid development stage.

With the rapid growth of the economy and the acceleration of urbanization, assembly buildings have been widely used in residential and public buildings. Meanwhile, the government is also increasing its support for assembled buildings by issuing a series of policies and regulations to promote the development of the industry.

Industry Challenges and Issues

Despite the remarkable progress made by the prefabricated housing industry in China, it still faces a number of challenges and issues. First, prefabricated components may be damaged during production and transportation, affecting the quality of the final product.

Second, the design of some prefabricated houses neglects to harmonize with the surrounding environment, which negatively affects the surrounding environment. In addition, the construction process of prefabricated houses is characterized by problems such as insufficient technical level of construction personnel and difficulty in guaranteeing the quality of construction.

Another issue of concern is the safety hazard of prefabricated houses. Due to the uneven quality of materials, some prefabricated houses have poor seismic performance, easy to aging and other safety hazards. With the acceleration of urbanization and the improvement of residents’ living standards, people’s demand for the living environment is getting higher and higher, and prefabricated houses must constantly improve their quality to meet the market demand.

Future Development Trends and Opportunities

Looking ahead, the prefabricated housing industry has a bright future in China. As technology advances and the concept of environmental protection becomes more popular, the prefabricated housing industry will pay more attention to product performance and environmental protection.

Meanwhile, the government will continue to introduce relevant policies to support the development of the prefabricated housing industry and provide strong protection for it.

In terms of market demand, with the acceleration of urbanization and continuous population growth, the demand for high-quality, high-efficiency housing will continue to increase. Prefabricated houses will gradually become the mainstream choice in the market due to their advantages such as short construction period, controllable quality, energy saving and environmental protection. In addition, the demand for prefabricated houses in the commercial and industrial sectors will also continue to grow, providing more development opportunities for the industry.

Conclusion

To summarize, the prefabricated housing industry is in a rapid development stage in China, with broad market prospects and great development potential. In the face of challenges and problems, the industry needs to continuously improve product quality and technology, strengthen cooperation with upstream and downstream industries, and jointly promote the healthy development of the industry.

At the same time, the government and the community should also give more attention and support for the development of prefabricated housing industry to create a more favorable environment. It is believed that in the near future, prefabricated houses will become an important part of China’s construction industry and make greater contributions to the urbanization process and sustainable development.
