Global Prefabricated Buildings and Structural Steel Market – Overview
Prefabricated buildings are built in a factory according to a person's preferences, then put on the building site. They are built off-site by employees in specialized facilities who manufacture components like walls, roofs, and staircases. Glass, composites, plastics, and other reinforced plastics, as well as metal and wooden panels, are just a few of the materials used to make them. They eliminate the need for qualified workers on the job site and help save time and money. On the other hand, the installation of prefabricated components uses structural steel as the basic framework. Longevity, adaptability in terms of design, ease of expansion, weather resistance, efficient use of resources, few maintenance requirements, and environmental friendliness are only a few advantages.
Opportunity: Rebuilding & Redevelopment Projects in Disaster-hit Regions
Global prefabricated building and structural steel market is expected to gain from significant opportunities provided by the massive rebuilding, redevelopment, and recovery infrastructure projects from disaster-hit regions across the world, particularly in earthquake-hit Türkiye and war-ravaged Ukraine.
On February 06, 2023, a 7.8-magnitude of earthquake hit Türkiye and Syria, killing tens and thousands of people and severely damaging infrastructure in urban and rural areas across its fault line. The President of Türkiye announced that the government would engage in a comprehensive construction program to rebuild cities with safety and sustainability. Analysts estimated that the urban redevelopment across Türkiye post the earthquake would provide huge opportunities for the construction and related industries in total investment of more than USD 250 billion.
Russia’s war in Ukraine has been continuing for more than a year now. Consequently, infrastructure across Ukraine has been severely damaged. In September 2022, Ukraine government, the European Commission, and the World Bank, along with their partners estimated the cost of Ukraine’s reconstruction and recovery would be about USD 350 billion. As the war continues, the cost is anticipated to escalate.
Massive redevelopment and recovery projects in Türkiye and Ukraine are expected to provide lucrative growth opportunities for construction and supplementary industries. It, in turn, is projected to aid the growth of global prefabricated and structural steel market during the forecast period between 2023 and 2029 and beyond.
Challenge: High Variations in Costs
Market expansion is seriously threatened by raw material and machinery price variations and instability. The uneven distribution of raw materials in one area is impeding the market's expansion. The market's expansion will be further stymied by the availability of reasonably priced alternatives. Obstacles include low thermal conductivity, flammability, and corrosion susceptibility.
Impact of COVID-19 on Global Prefabricated Building and Structural Steel Market
COVID-19 had an impact on several manufacturing companies in 2020–2021 as it resulted in workplace closures, supply chain interruptions, and transit restrictions. Several countries, including China, India, Brazil, and many others, used lockdowns under this circumstance, which resulted in the shutdown of production and manufacturing facilities. The building, construction, electrical, electronics, and automotive industries were all significantly impacted by this outbreak, which in turn had a detrimental impact on the market. During this time, there was a major fall in revenues and profitability as a result of adverse effects on the supply chains of numerous manufacturing sites. However, because of the ongoing relaxations, a significant increase in imports and export is anticipated. The proper regulating body is beginning to lift these compulsory lockdowns.
