As the number of people residing in already-established cities and new projects drives up demand for new buildings, architects and builders around the world are increasingly focusing on modular construction over the traditional permanent structure in an effort to cut down on construction time and speed up the commercialisation of their projects. While the Asia Pacific region dominates the modular construction market in terms of adoption and projects, the market is seeing a greater appetite in the Middle East. The Middle East modular construction market is expected to gain significant growth in the forecast period of 2023 to 2030. Data Bridge Market Research analyses that the market is growing with a CAGR of 5.6% from 2023 to 2030. Glasgow report shows precast market in UAE is expected to grow at a rate of 4.4% between 2018 and 2024, with structural products accounting for ~50% of the overall market value in 2020 and is forecasted to reach USD 0.94 billion in 2024.

The construction industry is one of the nation’s (and world’s) largest industries. In 2021, construction accounted for over 4.1 percent of the US gross domestic product*. That ranks ahead of agriculture, mining, transportation, arts and entertainment, and even national defense spending! Despite more than 90 percent of US general contractors listing labor shortages as a concern, women make up only 10.3 percent of those working in the built environment – and that number shrinks to just 2-4 percent when looking at several of the skilled trades.
