Australia Prefabricated Buildings Market Size (2024 - 2029)

Australia Prefabricated Buildings Market Analysis

The Australia Prefabricated Buildings Market size is estimated at USD 10.27 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 13.06 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 4.93% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

• The market is primarily driven by the demand for low to mid-rise residential buildings, project homes, and public housing. Increasing awareness about the benefits of prefabricated buildings, such as reduced material waste and less disruption to the surrounding environment, is driving market growth. Revenue in the market is expected to grow as the rising demand from the government and the education sector. The Australian modular construction market has faced severe challenges over the past two decades.
• The adoption of prefabricated solutions in Australia has increased significantly over the past few years. Industry associations and institutions in Australia are launching campaigns to create awareness about the benefits of the prefabricated industry. Leading companies in the market have recognized the productivity and efficiency gains that advanced manufacturing techniques can offer.
• Due to various causes, including a tight labor market, rising input costs, and increased demand due to government incentives, the construction and building industries have experienced significant price inflation in most states. The cost increases traditionally started in residential construction. However, these problems affect all types of construction.
• The construction industry has also seen significant delays in finishing projects due to labor shortages and a global supply deficit in several common building materials. The materials include steel, paint, cement, wood, cabinets, and electrical components. Compared to pre-pandemic levels, building material wait times have, at best, doubled and, at worst, increased by more than ten times. Construction projects have experienced completion delays and increased cost pressure due to the unfavorable weather affecting the East Coast since the start of the year.
• The adoption of prefabricated solutions in Australia has increased significantly over the past few years. Industry associations and institutions in Australia are launching campaigns to create awareness about the benefits of the prefabricated industry. Many public spaces in Australia, such as new railway stations, police stations, healthcare facilities, and community centers, are being built using volumetric modular construction and other prefabricated methods with the assistance of the Australian government. Hence, the market is expected to witness growth.
