US demand for prefabricated housing is forecast to climb 2.6% per year to 145,300 units in 2024, with value demand reaching $10.8 billion. Gains will be spurred by:
The US has a shortage of affordable housing – an issue that is expected to continue due to the high cost and length of time needed to erect site-built homes and the increasing number of younger consumers who will want to own their own homes. This shortage of site-built homes will provide a market opportunity for prefabricated housing manufacturers, who can rapidly construct – for less cost than a site-built home – single-family residences that are affordable while also offering the amenities (such as large kitchens and multiple bathrooms) increasingly desired by consumers.
Manufactured housing accounted for the largest share of prefabricated housing demand in the US in 2019 and will continue to do so through 2024, supported by its market position in the South. Manufactured housing accounts for a much larger share of the housing market in the South for a number of reasons, including a traditionally high level of use of the homes in the region, a lack of unfavorable zoning requirements that inhibit the placement of these residences, and the ready availability of land on which these residences can be sited. Going forward, the South is expected to see strong population growth; many new residents will opt for manufactured housing units as a more affordable option compared to site-built homes.
Interest in multigenerational living has been on the rise in the US as people look for ways to care for aging relatives, provide childcare, and offset high housing costs across much of the US. One way to accommodate these multigenerational families is to add ADUs– either directly to an existing home or elsewhere on a property. ADUs are modular residences that have their own bathrooms, bedrooms, and living areas but occupy much less space than site-built homes (while also costing less). ADUs are ideal for housing younger people, those who are more interesting in living spaces with a smaller footprint, or senior citizens while also allowing people to live close to their relatives.
