The global expandable container housing market is experiencing steady growth. According to QYResearch, global market sales reached US$787 million in 2024 and are projected to reach US$1.05 billion by 2031, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.2%. As a key component of the global market, the Chinese market has experienced rapid growth over the past few years, accounting for approximately 50% of the global market in 2024, and its global share is expected to further expand by 2031.
This growth is driven by a variety of factors, including accelerated urbanization, growing housing demand, innovative construction technologies, and a growing preference for sustainable building solutions. The surge in demand for rapidly deployable medical facilities and quarantine housing during the COVID-19 pandemic has further fueled the industry’s growth.
The technological innovations in the expandable container housing industry are mainly reflected in modular design and rapid assembly technology, smart home system integration, green building and sustainable technology, cross-border innovation and functional integration. These technological innovations not only improve the functionality and comfort of expandable container houses, but also greatly reduce production and operating costs, transforming container houses from temporary housing solutions to sustainable permanent building options.
