Development Trends of China's Prefabricated Housing Industry

Prefabricated housing refers to the transfer of a large amount of on-site construction work from traditional construction methods to factories, where building components and accessories such as floor slabs, wall panels, stairs, balconies, etc. are processed and transported to the construction site.

The residential buildings that are assembled and installed on site through reliable connection methods are called prefabricated housing.

Policies related to China's prefabricated housing industry

In recent years, in order to vigorously develop prefabricated buildings and promote the development of the prefabricated housing industry, China has successively issued many relevant policies.

For example, in January 2022, the Ministry of Housing and Urban Rural Development released the "14th Five Year Plan for the Development of the Construction Industry", which mentioned the vigorous development of prefabricated buildings. By 2025, prefabricated buildings will account for more than 30% of new construction.

Vigorously promote the application of prefabricated buildings, actively promote the construction of high-quality steel structure residential buildings, and encourage public buildings such as schools and hospitals to prioritize the use of steel structures. Cultivate a batch of prefabricated construction production bases.

In May 2020, China vigorously developed prefabricated buildings, actively promoted steel structure prefabricated housing, and implemented the construction mode of factory prefabrication, assembly construction, and information management.

In October 2021, China will vigorously develop prefabricated buildings, with a focus on promoting the construction of steel structure prefabricated residential buildings, continuously improving the standardization level of components, promoting the formation of a complete industrial chain, and promoting the coordinated development of intelligent construction and building industrialization.

In October 2021, China will promote green and low-carbon building materials and green construction methods, accelerate the industrialization of new construction, vigorously develop prefabricated buildings, promote steel structure residential buildings, promote the recycling of building materials, and strengthen green design and construction management.

In January 2022, China will vigorously develop prefabricated buildings, and by 2025, the proportion of prefabricated buildings in new construction will reach over 30%. Vigorously promote the application of prefabricated buildings, actively promote the construction of high-quality steel structure residential buildings, and encourage public buildings such as schools and hospitals to prioritize the use of steel structures. Cultivate a batch of prefabricated construction production bases.

This standard applies to the residential design of prefabricated concrete structures and prefabricated steel structures in March 2022. The standards are clear, and prefabricated residential buildings should use components with high standardization, strong interface universality, excellent performance, efficient installation, and convenient maintenance and replacement to meet the performance requirements of residential safety, durability, green environmental protection, health and comfort, and economic applicability.

In May 2022, China will vigorously develop green buildings, promote prefabricated buildings, energy-saving doors and windows, green building materials, green lighting, and comprehensively promote green construction.

In February 2023, encourage enterprises to establish a quality control system for the entire life cycle of production, construction, and installation of prefabricated building components, and promote on-site supervision of prefabricated building components.

Policies related to the prefabricated housing industry in some provinces and cities

In response to the national call, various provinces and cities have introduced a series of policies to actively promote the development of the prefabricated housing industry.

For example, in September 2022, Jilin Province released the "Tianjin Carbon Peak Implementation Plan", which proposed to quickly promote the industrialization of new buildings, vigorously develop prefabricated buildings, actively promote steel structure housing, strengthen green design and green construction management.

By 2025, the proportion of prefabricated buildings that meet the conditions for new civil buildings on state-owned construction land in the city will reach 100%.

• Jiangsu Province, August 2021

Promote prefabricated construction methods, steadily develop prefabricated housing, and vigorously promote prefabricated decoration. Intensify the application of intelligent construction in all aspects of engineering construction, accelerate the integration and innovative application of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and new generation information technology, and form an intelligent construction industry system that integrates the entire industry chain including scientific research, design, production and processing, construction assembly, and operation, to improve the quality, safety, efficiency, and quality of residential engineering.

• Fujian Province, June 2022

Build a green and low-carbon building system, standardize the design, construction, operation, and management of green buildings, promote new construction methods such as prefabricated steel structures, continue to develop prefabricated buildings, and promote green and low-carbon building materials and green construction methods.

• Jiangxi Province, July 2022

Accelerate the industrialization of new construction, vigorously develop prefabricated buildings, focus on promoting the construction of steel structure prefabricated residential buildings, and promote the recycling of building materials. Establish and improve a green and low-carbon oriented urban and rural planning and construction management mechanism, implement a building demolition management system, and eliminate large-scale demolition and construction.

• Tianjin, September 2022

Quickly promote the industrialization of new construction, vigorously develop prefabricated buildings, actively promote steel structure residential buildings, strengthen green design and green construction management. By 2025, the proportion of prefabricated buildings implemented on state-owned construction land in the city that meet the conditions for new civil buildings will reach 100%.

• Beijing, June 2023

Vigorously promote the development of prefabricated buildings, actively promote the coordinated layout of prefabricated building component production in the Beijing Tianjin Hebei region, and gradually establish a specialized, large-scale, and information-based production system based on standard components.

• Guangdong Province, August 2023

Vigorously develop prefabricated buildings and actively promote steel structure residential buildings.

• Shanxi Province, November 2023

Promote the coordinated development of the entire industrial chain of prefabricated buildings, and vigorously develop the new construction industry represented by prefabricated buildings.

Strictly implement energy-saving and green building standards for new urban buildings, vigorously develop prefabricated buildings, accelerate the promotion of ultra-low energy consumption and near zero energy consumption buildings, carry out zero carbon building pilot projects, and steadily improve the level of energy conservation.

With the popularization and promotion of green buildings, people's demand for prefabricated housing is also constantly increasing. At present, there are a large number of enterprises in China's prefabricated housing industry, distributed in various links of the industry chain.
