Manufactured housing, also known as prefabricated housing, is completely manufactured in a factory and is transported to the construction site using trucks. Manufactured housing is built with standardized construction modules on a steel frame, making it easier to transport, lift, and place them at the desired location.

There is a rise in the adoption of manufactured housing in non-residential construction such as hotels, malls, shopping complexes, schools, and office spaces owing to the advantages such as reduction in overall construction cost and considerable saving of time. For instance, in June 2021, a Chinese prefabricated structural unit manufacturer constructed a 10-storey apartment block in 28 hours.

For instance, programmes such as the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat), which aims at promoting environmentally and socially sustainable towns and cities, and simultaneously reducing inequality, discrimination, and poverty, is expected to have a positive impact on the manufactured housing industry growth during the forecast period.
Moreover, demand for manufactured housing is on the rise in developed countries such U.S., Canada, and Germany due to the advantages of manufactured housing such as energy efficiency and less carbon foot-print in environment. For instance, Clayton Homes based in the U.S. (subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway, U.S.) offers Energy Star certified manufactured homes. Similarly, Italy is a major producer of prefabricated houses, and produces highly elegant foldable manufactured houses in large numbers. For instance, A-FOLD Houses a foldable house manufacturer located in Italy provides a wide variety of manufactured foldable houses, creating a positive outlook for the manufactured housing industry.
