Germany Prefabricated Construction Industry Business and Investment Opportunities Databook – 100+ KPIs, Market Size & Forecast by End Markets, Precast Products, and Precast Materials - Q2 2023 Update

According to ConsTrack360's, prefabricated construction industry in Germany is expected to grow by 4.1% to reach EUR 36,870 million in 2023.

The medium to long-term growth story in Germany remains intact. The prefabricated construction industry in Germany is expected to grow steadily over the next four quarters. The growth momentum is expected to continue over the forecast period, recording a CAGR of 3.4% during 2023-2027. The prefabricated construction output in the country is expected to reach EUR 42,219.4 million by 2027.

The soaring energy prices, coupled with the housing crisis problem, are projected to drive the growth of the prefabricated construction market in Germany in 2023. The rise in construction material prices and labor shortage issues are among the other factors that are expected to support the rise of prefabricated construction activities in the European market from the short to medium-term perspective.

Amid the growing demand for prefabricated modules, construction startups are also raising funding rounds to scale their operations and launch more innovative products in the German market. This coupled with the outsourcing of prefabricated buildings to other nations will keep supporting the growth of the German prefabricated construction industry over the next three to four years.

Housing crisis to drive the undertaking of prefabricated housing construction in Germany

Amid the surge in building material prices, more and more builders in the country are canceling residential projects amid the acute housing shortage. According to a report from the Institute of Economic Research, 16.7% of the firms reported the cancelation of projects in September 2022. This represents an increase of 5% compared to the 11.6% recorded during the August 2022 period.

Some players have also canceled the projects due to higher interest rates, which makes homebuilding projects less viable. The cancelation of these projects means that fewer homes are getting built in the country, thereby further exaggerating the housing crisis. Consequently, ConsTrack360 expects prefabricated housing projects to grow significantly over the next three to four years, as these residential units are built at lesser costs and at a faster rate. The undertaking of prefabricated residential construction projects, will, therefore, keep supporting the growth of the market from the short to medium-term perspective in Germany.

Higher energy prices are leading to the installation of prefabricated modules to make homes more energy-efficient

Germany, along with many other European markets, is facing a severe energy crisis, which has led to a surge in prices as well. As a result, German consumers are retrofitting their homes with a layer of prefabricated modules to make their homes more energy-efficient. For firms like Ecoworks, which renovate apartment buildings with prefabricated modules, the surge in energy prices has resulted in a high-growth environment.

The firm is experiencing strong demand for its prefabricated modules as more and more landlords are renovating their residential buildings to make them more energy efficient. The demand for prefabricated modules for renovation work is driven by the shortage of construction workers and lengthy renovation processes taken by traditional methods of construction.

With the demand projected to further continue from the short to medium-term perspective, Ecoworks is also expected to raise a funding round to cater to the growing market needs. In June 2022, the firm already raised €7.7 million to scale its solution and launch more innovative products in the German market.

Hybrid construction projects are expected to provide growth support for the prefabricated construction market in Germany

In Germany, construction firms are undertaking innovative projects that include both conventional construction processes as well as usage of prefabricated modules. Roots Hamburg, for instance which is going to be the tallest timber building in Germany, is a hybrid construction project that will feature a reinforced concrete structure for the basement and ground floor, while the floor above will be built using timber.

The factory prefabricated wall elements in the construction of the Roots Hamburg project will cover a surface of 16,200 square meters. The construction project will offer 181 residential units in total, including 128 condos and 53 state-subsidized apartments. The project is expected to be completed in 2023 and therefore, will keep supporting the growth of the prefabricated construction industry from the short to medium-term perspective. More such innovative construction projects are expected to be announced and launched over the next three to four years.
