Summary

The South Korea modular construction market size reached USD 1,726.68 Million in 2024. Looking forward, the market is expected to reach USD 2,651.22 Million by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.88% during 2025-2033. The market is gaining traction as off-site, factory-built modules are increasingly adopted to accelerate building timelines, improve quality, and reduce waste. Major contractors are also leveraging this method for residential and infrastructure projects while expanding overseas due to high domestic costs. Industry growth is further supported by automation, robotics, and government promotion of standardized construction, thus shaping the South Korea modular construction market share.

South Korea Modular Construction Market Trends:
Urbanization & Affordable Housing Demand
Rapid urbanization in South Korea, especially in densely populated cities, is increasing demand for quick and affordable housing solutions. Rising construction and rental costs have pushed consumers and developers toward modular homes, which can be built faster and at lower total costs. These factory-built modules reduce material waste and improve energy efficiency, offering attractive alternatives to traditional construction. Public and private sectors are increasingly adopting modular solutions to address housing pressures, particularly for students, young families, and urban residents. As affordability and speed become central considerations in real estate development, prefabricated, modular construction has emerged as a scalable and sustainable response to South Korea’s evolving housing needs.
Technological Innovation & Industrialization
Advancements in modular construction technologies, including automation, robotics, BIM, digital twins, and off-site assembly, are reshaping the South Korea modular construction market growth. The country’s advanced industrial infrastructure, strong robotics ecosystem, and factory-based production process support high-quality, consistent output with reduced on-site labor. These innovations streamline project timelines, minimize human error, and enable large-scale deployment of modular components for commercial, residential, and institutional buildings. Integration of AI and smart construction methods has elevated quality standards and improved cost-efficiency. As the industrialization of construction progresses, modular builds are seen as precision-engineered, scalable alternatives, helping drive adoption across major public and private projects in South Korea.
Government Policy and Infrastructure Support
The South Korean government actively promotes modular construction through supportive policies and incentives. Regulations such as the Prefabricated Building Promotion Act, green building initiatives, financial aid, and streamlined permitting processes encourage the adoption of advanced construction methods. Public infrastructure and housing programs increasingly include modular builds to boost sustainability, affordability, and construction speed. Efforts to standardize modular norms and certify innovative construction technology further reduce regulatory barriers. Public-private partnerships are being leveraged to implement modular solutions at scale for infrastructure, housing, and commercial developments. With clear policy backing and strategic support, modular integrated construction is gaining momentum as a preferred choice for efficient and sustainable building in South Korea.
