ASEAN Manufactured Homes Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2023 - 2028)

ASEAN Manufactured Homes Market is expected to register a CAGR of more than 5% during the forecast period.

• The COVID-19 pandemic has badly affected the ASEAN manufactured homes market mainly due to the halt in international trade, prolonged lockdowns, and ceased construction processes. The COVID-19 pandemic has drastically affected the ASEAN economy. Moreover, it has disrupted the operations of many companies in the manufactured homes market, which has forced the companies to halt their business operations to comply with the safety measures being announced by the governments.
• In addition, disruption in the supply chain due to a halt in operations has significantly impacted the revenue flow of the players in the market. Further, the implementation of measures such as lockdown and social distancing during this pandemic has resulted in a shortage of manpower, which, in turn, has negatively impacted the manufactured homes market revenue.
• Rapid population growth along with rapid urbanization has resulted in the need for affordable housing in ASEAN countries. Manufactured homes offer a revolutionary solution to the problem of affordable and quality accommodation. Manufactured homes cost at least half the price of comparable traditional new homes and take less time to construct, owing to these advantages, the demand for manufactured homes is increasing in the ASEAN market.
• Demand for manufactured homes is on the rise in developing countries such as Thailand, Malaysia, etc., due to the advantages of manufactured homes such as energy efficiency and less carbon footprint in the environment.
• Fluctuations in the prices of steel which is the major raw material for construction affect the profitability of suppliers which is expected to restrain the growth of the ASEAN manufactured homes market during the forecast period. An increase in interest rates for mortgage loans makes buying a house a costly affair. This is also expected to restrain the market growth during the forecast period.

Urbanization attracts people to cities and towns which leads to a high population increase. With the increase in the number of people living in urban centers, there is a continued scarcity of homes. Manufactured homes offer an affordable homeownership option for some families, and the improvements in their quality and safety have made them a more desirable option in recent decades. This is expected to drive the growth of the manufactured housing market during the forecast period. Thus rapid urbanization is expected to boost the demand for the manufactured housing market during the forecasted period.

Most of the other economies in ASEAN particularly Myanmar and Cambodia have shown an increasing demand for affordable homes. According to Myanmar’s Ministry of Construction, the country will require an additional 4.8 million housing units by 2040 based on the nation’s population growth rate. Due to rapid urbanization, the country will require an extra 1.1 million houses to meet demands by 2030 according to the Cambodian government’s National Housing Policy.

Currently, ASEAN has the third-largest population in the world after China and India. However, ASEAN governments are finding it particularly difficult to satisfy demands for affordable homes following rapid urbanization within the region. This is expected to drive the growth of the manufactured home market during the forecast period.

It is expected that in the next few years, the manufactured homes market in ASEAN will grow more and more. The demand for manufactured homes has been increasing rapidly over the last decade.
