The U.S. pre-engineered metal building market size was estimated at USD 12.98 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 27.10 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 8.6% from 2025 to 2033. The market's growth is attributed to increasing economic development in western & southern U.S. states and the growing adoption of off-site construction activities.
Metal building systems have long become a standard process in commercial and industrial construction projects. These systems are used for developing warehouses, distribution centers, and industrial facilities. The use of metal building systems is anticipated to grow in applications such as commercial office buildings, retail stores, and government infrastructures over the forecast period. Ongoing industrialization worldwide has increased demand for industrial storage spaces and warehouses due to the increasing number of e-commerce and distribution stores in the retail market.
In addition, flourishing Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG), e-commerce, pharmaceuticals, and cold storage sectors in the U.S. are all driving the demand for increased warehousing space in the country. Freight and logistics remain important in the country, accounting for a big share of warehousing space. Therefore, such factors further fuel market growth. The urgency of sustainability in the construction industry presents a significant growth opportunity for the country's market. As environmental consciousness grows, there is a heightened demand for eco-friendly building solutions that minimize carbon footprint and resource depletion.
PEMBs inherently offer several sustainable advantages. First, they are highly recyclable, with a significant portion of the steel used in construction being recycled material. Second, they provide excellent energy efficiency, with options for insulation and reflective coatings that reduce heating and cooling costs. Furthermore, the streamlined construction process of PEMBs generates less waste compared to traditional construction methods, aligning well with sustainable building practices.
Despite the growing demand for pre-engineered metal buildings in the U.S., certain restraints limit the market growth. Although the entire process of pre-engineered metal building seems quick and effortless, manufacturers face numerous hurdles to make this process look easy. For instance, transportation is a restraint for the U.S. market. The components or modules are prefabricated at an off-site factory and transported to an on-site location. Any mishap, damage, or deformation to the module during transportation can impact the entire structure and lead to significant repair or replacement costs.
