Nonresidential Prefabricated Building Systems

The recovery in office and commercial construction, coupled with continued gains in institutional, industrial and agricultural construction, will provide opportunities for prefabricated buildings.

US demand to rise 7.8% annually through 2015

Nonresidential prefabricated building system demand in the US is expected to increase 7.8 percent annually to $15.2 billion in 2015, a strong showing compared to the weakness over much of the previous decade. The recovery in office and commercial construction, coupled with continued gains in institutional, industrial and agricultural construction, will provide opportunities. The development of new products and technologies, including more tailored designs, greater cladding options for metal buildings and improved concrete mixes, will also support demand.

Metal building systems to remain largest segment

Metal building systems have long been the largest segment of the US nonresidential prefabricated building system industry and will remain so for the foreseeable future. While gains are not expected to match the overall prefabricated building system average, demand for metal building systems is expected to post strong 7.2 percent annual gains through 2015. Demand for metal building systems will benefit from product enhancements such as improved coatings, the increased use of nonmetal cladding systems, and greater customization. In addition, solid gains in many types of nonresidential construction, particularly the industrial and agricultural segments, will support the metal building system market.

Among nonmetal building systems, the modular building system segment is expected to see the strongest gains, just ahead of the panelized precast concrete segment. The modular building system market will benefit from robust growth in both commercial and institutional construction activity, as well as from the growing popularity of prefabricated bathroom and kitchen modules. Gains for panelized precast concrete systems will be driven by increases in office and commercial construction, which are among the more popular applications for these systems. In addition, technological improvements, including better reinforcement materials, improved concrete mixtures and greater design options, will support demand.

Commercial applications to post fastest market gains

Through 2015, commercial applications are expected to post the fastest gains of any major market for prefabricated building systems. The commercial market will benefit from solid growth in construction spending and the prevalence of prefabricated structures in several commercial niches, including mini-storage facilities. In addition, both the retail and hospitality segments are expected to rebound from weak 2010 levels. In contrast, the industrial market will post the slowest gains through 2015, rising 3.0 percent annually.

Study Scope

This study analyzes the $10.4 billion US market for nonresidential prefabricated building systems. It presents historical demand data for the years 2000, 2005 and 2010, with forecasts for 2015 and 2020 by type (e.g., standard metal, agricultural metal, modular nonmetal, panelized precast nonmetal), market (e.g., institutional, industrial, commercial, office, agricultural) and region.

The study also considers market environment factors, details industry structure, evaluates company market share and profiles 45 industry participants, including BlueScope Steel, NCI Building Systems and Nucor.
