US demand to rise over 7% annually through 2015
US demand for nonresidential prefabricated building systems is projected to
increase over seven percent annually to $16 billion in 2015. Growth will
derive from a recovery in nonresidential construction activity, particularly in
the office and commercial segment, from a weak 2010 base. In addition,
improved prefabricated building system design will provide opportunities for
increased market penetration. Prices for many of the raw materials used in
nonresidential prefabricated structures increased sharply between 2005 and
2010. Going forward raw material price growth is expected to moderate
which will restrain value gains in the nonresidential prefabricated
market.Shipments of nonresidential prefabricated building systems are
expected to increase 6.3 percent annually to $16.3 billion in 2015, trailing
increases in demand slightly. The US is a net exporter of prefabricated
building systems, but the high 2010 trade surplus in these products will
decreasehrough 2015. In 2010, the weak domestic market led to a decline in
imports, while exports were boosted by infrastructure development in the
coal sands areas in Canada and the troop surge in Afghanistan.
Metal building systems to remain largest segment
Prefabricated metal building systems will remain the largest segment of the
market,accounting for more than 45 percent of the total. Through 2015,
demand for metal building systems will increase about six percent annually.
Demand will be supported by increases in many metal building markets,
particularly in office and commercial markets and many industrial segments.
However, the expected decline in metals prices will offset some of these
gains.Demand for nonmetal prefabricated building systems (modular,
precast concrete, autoclaved aerated concrete and fabric) is expected to
increase more than eight percent annually to $8.4 billion in 2015, outpacing
growth in metal building systems. The modular building segment is expected
to see the fastest growth, benefiting from strong growth in commercial
construction and gains in the school age population, which will bolster
demand for modular classrooms. Panelized precast concrete systems will

2. also increase at an above-average pace supported by the design flexibility,
sound attenuation properties and low maintenance requirements of these
systems.

Office,commerical markets to grow at double digit rates
Prefabricated building systems are used in a wide range of nonresidential
applications,most commonly low-rise structures in the industrial, office,
commercial and institutional markets. The office and commercial markets
will grow at double digit annual rates through 2015, supported by strong
growth in related building activity and by improved designs for prefabricated
systems.
South, West to see strongest regional market gains
On a regional basis, the South and West are forecast to experience the
strongest gains in nonresidential prefabricated building demand. Gains will
be supported by relatively strong nonresidential construction activity, as well
as from above-average population and economic growth. The South will
remain the largest market, accounting for approximately 40 percent of total
demand through 2015.Study coverage This new Freedonia industry
