Modular Construction in Europe: How Prefabrication Will Grow Through 2030

Modular Construction the decade of expansion

Modular construction and prefabricated systems are reshaping the building industry. Far from being a passing trend, they represent a structural transformation in how we build, faster, more precise, more sustainable, and highly scalable. This article explores the growth outlook for the sector in Europe and Spain from 2025 to 2030, the key drivers behind this expansion, and the unique role of technologies like EvoConstructor®.

This sustained growth reflects a transformation in Europe’s construction model, with rising demand for solutions that offer speed, predictability, and sustainability in both public and private projects.


Growth Drivers

Market Needs

  • High demand for fast, scalable solutions in housing, offices, and public infrastructure.
  • Projects increasingly require tighter control over cost and timelines.

Regulatory and Environmental Pressure

  • Standards like ISO/ASTM 52939:2023 encourage low-carbon construction models.
  • Incentives for industrialized processes due to their energy efficiency.

Enabling Technologies

  • Advances in robotics, on-site 3D printing, and BIM.
  • Real-time quality control and full process traceability.

⚠️ Challenges to Overcome

Despite its enormous potential, modular construction still faces barriers:

  • Industrial Scalability: Many plants must upgrade to meet demand using automated, interoperable systems.
  • Tech Interoperability: Integrating BIM, robotics, planning software, and regulations demands a robust digital infrastructure.
  • Market Perception: Prefabrication is still wrongly associated with low quality or repetitive designs.
  • Advanced Logistics Management: Coordinating digital design, transport, and on-site assembly requires extreme precision.
  • Compliance Complexity: Component validation with both local and international standards is challenging without automation.
