The increasing investments in infrastructure development are expected to drive growth in the pre-engineered building market. Infrastructure development encompasses the planning, designing, financing, construction, and maintenance of physical and organizational structures and facilities that are vital for a society's or economy's functioning. The rise in infrastructure investments, often linked to urbanization projects and the modernization of existing facilities, underscores the essential role of smart elevators in addressing the vertical mobility needs of contemporary urban spaces and renovated buildings. Pre-engineered buildings provide rapid, cost-effective, and customizable solutions for various applications, including warehouses, distribution centers, commercial facilities, and transportation hubs, thus enhancing construction efficiency and flexibility. For example, in April 2023, the World Bank, a US-based international financial institution, reported that infrastructure investments in low- and middle-income countries showed a sustained recovery in 2022. Private participation in infrastructure (PPI) investments reached $91.7 billion across 263 projects, marking a significant 23% increase compared to 2021. Therefore, the rise in infrastructure development investments is poised to drive the growth of the pre-engineered building market.

The rapid growth in the construction industry is anticipated to drive the expansion of pre-engineered buildings in the future. The construction industry involves the planning, designing, building, and maintenance of infrastructure and buildings, playing a vital role in economic development and urbanization. This rapid growth is fueled by increasing urbanization, infrastructure development, and rising demand for residential and commercial spaces. Pre-engineered buildings offer cost-effective, customizable, and efficient solutions for various structures, including warehouses, factories, and commercial buildings, by using factory-manufactured components that are assembled on-site. For example, in February 2023, the Office for National Statistics, a UK-based statistical authority, reported a 5.6% annual growth in construction output in 2022, following a substantial 12.8% increase in 2021. Therefore, the rapid growth of the construction industry is expected to propel the growth of the pre-engineered buildings market.

Major companies in the pre-engineered building market are focusing on developing technologically advanced, high-performance solutions, such as heavy structural tubular products, to improve the durability, efficiency, and design flexibility of pre-engineered buildings. This innovation aims to meet the growing demand for sustainable and cost-effective construction solutions across various industries. Structural tubular products are utilized in pre-engineered buildings to create lightweight yet robust frameworks that offer enhanced load-bearing capacity, durability, and design flexibility, while also reducing material costs and construction time. For example, in August 2022, APL Apollo, an India-based manufacturer of structural steel tubes and pipes, launched its next-generation Steel Building Solutions (SBS), marking a significant advancement in the tubular construction industry. These high-quality pre-engineered building (PEB) materials provide cost efficiency, accelerate project timelines, and promote environmental sustainability, making them a valuable asset to the construction sector. The tubular structural steel solutions facilitate faster and more efficient construction, driving innovation and improving overall project execution.

Major companies in the pre-engineered building market are making strategic investments in pre-engineered building (PEB) manufacturing plants to boost production capacity and address the rising demand for customizable and cost-effective construction solutions across various sectors. A PEB manufacturing plant is specifically designed to produce pre-engineered building components using advanced manufacturing processes that ensure precision, efficiency, and quality in construction projects. For example, in July 2024, Pennar Industries, an India-based manufacturer specializing in engineering and infrastructure solutions, announced plans to establish a 16-acre PEB manufacturing plant in Raebareli, Uttar Pradesh. This facility will feature a built-up area of 12,000 square meters and a production capacity of 36,000 metric tons per annum. Scheduled to be operational by Q2 2024, the plant aims to reduce transportation costs and enhance customer service in East and North India, focusing on growth areas such as metal buildings, tubes, and industrial components.

Pre-engineered buildings are metal structures with a factory-made structural frame, featuring a standard roof and wall support that are assembled on-site. The built-up components are manufactured to precise sizes in a factory, transported to the construction site, and then welded together.

Pre-engineered buildings find extensive applications in various settings such as factories, community halls, parking sheds, commercial showrooms, cold storage facilities, stadiums, railway platforms, airports, and more. They are particularly favored in warehouses due to their efficiency in construction time and cost-effectiveness. The main structures of pre-engineered buildings can be categorized as single-story or multi-story. Single-story pre-engineered buildings refer to those with only one floor or level. The key components used in the construction of these buildings include walls, columns, beams, roofs, and floors. Pre-engineered buildings are widely employed in warehouses, commercial industries, and various infrastructure projects.
