The market size of container houses has been steadily growing, and the demand in emerging fields is strong
​
​Recently, according to the "2025-2030 China Container House Industry Operation Pattern Analysis and Investment Potential Research Forecast Report" released by the CRI Industry Research Institute, container houses have broken through the limitations of traditional construction sites and fieldwork, and are constantly expanding into emerging fields such as cultural tourism homestays, commercial stores, and emergency medical care. ​
In the field of culture and tourism, container homestays, with their unique design style and rapid deployment capabilities, have become an innovative choice for accommodation in scenic spots. In the business field, new business forms such as container cafes and bookstores have become popular solutions for the transformation of urban commercial Spaces due to their low cost and high flexibility. ​
Driven by the accelerated urbanization process, the increased demand for infrastructure construction and the rising demand for temporary housing, the market size of container houses has shown a steady growth trend. The eastern coastal areas, due to their high level of economic development and strong market demand, have become the main consumer market for container houses. The central and western regions have become investment hotspots due to the large infrastructure gap. With the advancement of the "Belt and Road Initiative", Chinese container house enterprises will accelerate the expansion of overseas markets, especially in regions with strong infrastructure demand such as Southeast Asia and the Middle East. ​
The state has explicitly required an increase in the proportion of prefabricated buildings and promoted the development of the container house industry towards standardization and modularization through policies such as the "Implementation Plan for Carbon Peaking in the Field of Urban and Rural Construction". Local governments also encourage enterprises to develop green building materials and energy-saving technologies through measures such as tax incentives and subsidies. ​
