Spain will face a deficit of 600,000 homes in 2025, becoming a key issue that concerns all citizens. The country is facing a record figure in the value of home sales, adding to the lack of new properties the high costs and difficulty in renting.
To combat the high prices of housing, a much more economical alternative arises: modular homes. A more accessible and functional solution based on the creation of prefabricated houses that assemble their floors like puzzle pieces.
One of the main features that differentiate them from regular homes is that they are built in pieces in a factory and, after transporting the parts to the chosen location, they can be assembled in a single day.
Designed to maximize space as much as possible in small areas, the size varies between 10 and 40 square meters and they are usually single-family homes. Additionally, apart from modular homes, there are different types of prefabricated houses in Spain: self-sufficient, wooden, residential...
The communities where the demand for modular homes is most successful are Madrid, Barcelona, and Valencia. The industrialized housing sector has grown in Spain by around 20% in 2024, and it is expected that within 50 years almost all new housing built worldwide will be factory-made.
