Summary and extracts
1 Market overview
1.1 Presentation and market definition
The modular construction market refers to the construction of prefabricated houses, including containers (or modules), which are designed directly in the factory and assembled on site. Assembly makes it possible to create buildings that meet specific or permanent needs: Site boxes, offices, but also new forms of housing such as container houses. The modules or containers are generally made of steel and equipped with plumbing, heating and electrical installations. The interior fittings are determined when they leave the production hall. In this study, we will use the names modular construction and prefabricated construction interchangeably, which mean the same thing.
Originally intended mainly for the construction industry and in particular construction site personnel and designed for temporary use, modular construction has over time become a credible alternative for the construction of individual homes and offices. The modular construction market is divided into sales and rental activities. Often, modular construction makes it possible to meet temporary building needs, be it for the conversion or renovation of an existing building or for a need for office or workshop extensions in the tertiary sector.
Modular construction is therefore used in the construction industry, in the public sector (emergency shelters, sports changing rooms, classrooms, etc.) and in the private service sector (offices, stores and kiosks, events, healthcare, etc.).
1.2 The global market for modular construction
