Precast construction involves a technology comprising various precast elements and some customized components that are standardized and designed for a stable market. It encompasses large panels, frames, slab-column systems with shear walls, erection sequences, beams, and other elements.
The main structural configurations in precast construction include the beam & column system, floor & roof system, bearing wall system, and facade system. Beam & column systems encompass both horizontal and vertical components that provide support for double tees, hollow-core, solid slabs, and occasionally other beams and columns holding up beams and spandrels. These precast constructions find applications in modular and manufactured homes, serving both residential and non-residential users.
The precast construction market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides precast construction market statistics, including precast construction industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a precast construction market share, detailed precast construction market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the precast construction industry. This precast construction market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The precast construction market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $144.98 billion in 2024 to $151.38 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to architectural versatility, urbanization trends, infrastructure development, housing and commercial construction, regulatory changes and standards.
The precast construction market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $187.04 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to advanced manufacturing techniques, demand for sustainable construction, rise in urbanization projects, infrastructure investment, energy-efficient building trend. Major trends in the forecast period include collaborative project delivery models, advanced material science applications, efficiency and labor optimization, resilience and disaster mitigation, prefabrication and modularization.
The growth in urbanization and industrialization is expected to propel the precast construction market. The rise in income of the middle class leads to discretionary spending and a change in consumption patterns, generating demand for construction and thus opportunities for the precast construction industry. The share of the urban population has increased to 56.2%, which leads to an increase in demand for construction services that offer high-quality construction while saving time and resources. According to the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), in April 2022, the infrastructure sector had become the Government of India's primary focus. India intends to spend $1.4 trillion on infrastructure between 2019 and 2023 to ensure the country's long-term development. Therefore, the increase in infrastructure and construction is leading to a growth in urbanization and industrialization, which drives the precast construction market.
The increasing construction spending is expected to propel the precast construction market. Construction spending refers to the total amount of money invested or expended on construction-related activities within a specific time period. Precast construction plays a significant role in construction spending by offering several advantages such as reduced construction time, labor efficiency, quality control, and others that contribute to cost savings, efficiency, and sustainability. For instance, in December 2023, according to The United States Census Bureau, a US-based federal agency, in October 2023, the estimated construction spending reached approximately $2,027.1 billion, reflecting a 10.7% increase compared to the October 2022 estimate of $1,830.5 billion. Therefore, the increasing construction spending is driving the precast construction market growth.
Sustainable construction techniques are emerging as a significant trend in the precast construction market. The construction industry is a major consumer of natural resources, and as concerns about climate change and the depletion of these resources grow, construction companies face increasing pressure to minimize their environmental impact. Achieving greater efficiency and ensuring sustainable development in construction relies on the widespread adoption of advanced technologies, adherence to government regulations, effective cost control, and the use of modern sustainable construction methods. For instance, in August 2024, edie, a UK-based media production company, reported that sustainability targets are now incorporated into 70% of construction projects. The proportion of industry professionals successfully meeting these targets has increased to 43%, up from one-third in 2022. Additionally, there has been a 16% rise in organizations measuring their carbon footprint, with 70% now actively tracking their emissions.
Leading companies in the precast construction market are concentrating on developing innovative solutions, including the creation of precast concrete websites, to offer reliable information to customers. A precast concrete website typically serves as an online platform dedicated to providing information, resources, and services related to precast concrete products, technologies, and solutions. For example, in September 2022, the Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute, a U.S.-based organization specializing in precast and prestressed concrete, launched the 'Precast Protects Life' website. This platform provides a wealth of information and resources showcasing the resilient attributes of precast concrete. Visitors, including architects, building owners, contractors, and others, can easily access videos, case studies, articles, and webinars elucidating the premier resilience, durability, and flexibility of precast concrete as a building material.
In July 2024, Wells, a US-based provider of full-service prefabricated building solutions, acquired GATE Precast for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is intended to broaden Wells' geographic reach and enhance its portfolio of prefabricated building products. By leveraging GATE Precast's expertise in precast concrete, Wells aims to strengthen its ability to deliver comprehensive building solutions across diverse sectors. GATE Precast is recognized as a US-based manufacturer of precast concrete systems.
