USA: The ongoing housing affordability crisis in the United States is driving increased interest in factory-built and modular housing as a faster and more cost-effective alternative to conventional construction. The country entered 2026 with an estimated housing shortfall of approximately 4.03 million homes, while elevated mortgage rates, labour shortages and rising construction costs continue to restrict housing supply and affordability. Factory-built housing is gaining attention because it can reduce construction times and improve production efficiency. Industry stakeholders believe these solutions can help address supply constraints at scale, particularly as traditional building methods struggle to meet growing demand across urban, suburban and rural markets.
