Foldable Houses Market Research: 2031
The Global Foldable Houses Market Size was valued at $7.1 billion in 2021, and is projected to reach $16.8 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 9% from 2022 to 2031. A foldable house is a portable house that is constructed at an offsite facility in such a way that the entire house is folded into a small unit, which then is transported to the job site and unfolded at its precise location.
A foldable house is typically manufactured using steel and aluminum for structural purposes, and wood & metal sheets for walls, roofs, and floors. Typically, these houses are equipped with all the basic necessities such as lighting, plumbing, and insulation.
The concept of foldable houses is relatively new; however, owing to the various advantages of foldable houses over the conventional methods of construction, the mainstream construction sector is adopting it at a greater pace. The issues with traditional construction methods such as slow rate of construction, expensiveness, lower design flexibility, and many negative impacts on the earth’s environment are properly addressed with the foldable houses. Foldable houses are manufactured in a controlled environment at an offsite manufacturing facility where it is easier to maintain the highest standards of quality.
Transportation and erection of the modular structure are the primary challenges pertaining to the modular houses industry; however, this issue is resolved by the compact size of a folded house. When folded, it takes up less than half of the space as that of any ordinary modular-type home. And also, the erection of a foldable house is relatively simpler and quicker, as all the necessary elements such as walls, floors, and roofs are already fixed to their places with a hinge joint, which can be unfolded with minimal effort. Such advantages of foldable houses over the traditional construction method, and over conventional modular homes are driving its demand.
By Construction Type
Single Section segment is projected to grow at a highest CAGR
On the basis of construction type, the market is categorized into single section and multi section. Out of these, the multi section segment accounted for the highest market share in 2021, owing to its ability to house a greater number of people.
Foldable houses are considered one of the suitable options for constructing shelters for homeless people and for people affected by natural calamities such as floods, earthquakes, and others. This is largely attributed to the affordability and quick construction of foldable houses; thereby, driving its demand.

Moreover, various development strategies are adopted by the foldable house manufacturers in order to sustain harsh competition in the market. For instance, in November 2021, Boxable, a U.S. based foldable house manufacturer opened a new factory in North Las Vegas NV. It is a 170,000 sq ft building that is projected to be capable of putting out one house every 90 minutes.
