Alan Milne, European membership director for the Modular Building Institute, examines modular construction’s evolving presence in the European market<\/h2>\n

Europe\u2019s modular construction sector is entering a new phase, shaped by rising demand and familiar industry pressures. According to Alan Milne, European membership director for the Modular Building Institute, the forces driving growth are not new, but they are becoming more urgent.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe market in Europe is a reflection of the global market changes,\u201d Milne said. \u201cThere is a need to build high-quality buildings quicker, along with the ongoing shortage of skilled labor.\u201d<\/p>\n

A market defined by three key segments<\/h3>\n

Milne sees the European market developing across three distinct segments, each contributing to the sector\u2019s expansion.<\/p>\n

The first is the industry\u2019s traditional base: office accommodation, healthcare, education, and leisure. These sectors have long relied on modular construction, but perceptions are shifting. \u201cWhat was once seen as a quick solution is now considered a credible alternative to traditional construction,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The second segment is housing, where demand continues to accelerate. \u201cThe global shortage of housing has pushed modular into the spotlight,\u201d Milne explained. \u201cIt allows for the delivery of high-quality homes in a shorter timeframe.\u201d<\/p>\n

The third segment includes emerging applications such as data centers. These projects benefit from modular\u2019s ability to deliver precision and flexibility. \u201cYou can achieve a high-quality internal fit-out, reduce build times, and allow for easier future expansion,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Together, these segments show how modular construction in Europe is evolving beyond its traditional role. It is not replacing conventional construction outright, but it is becoming a stronger and more versatile option across multiple sectors.<\/p>\n

Regulation and demand: challenges to watch<\/h3>\n

Still, growth comes with challenges.<\/p>\n

One of the most significant is regulatory change across the European Union. Milne pointed to the European Commission\u2019s 2025 single market strategy and updates to the Construction Products Regulation as key developments shaping the industry.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese changes will impact how companies operate across EU markets,\u201d he said. \u201cThere are clear benefits, but also a need for businesses to adapt quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n

Milne believes the long-term outlook is positive. \u201cThere is potential for easier tendering, reduced paperwork, and better digital compliance systems,\u201d he said. \u201cThere will also be a stronger focus on low-carbon materials.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, companies will need to prepare. \u201cManufacturers and supply chains will have to audit their processes, train staff, and integrate new digital tools,\u201d he said. \u201cKeeping up with regulatory updates will be critical.\u201d<\/p>\n

A key part of this shift is the Digital Product Passport, which will centralize product data across the EU. Milne sees it as a major step forward. \u201cIt will help streamline information and support cross-border business,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Despite these advances, one persistent issue remains: inconsistent demand.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe industry needs a steady pipeline of work,\u201d Milne said. \u201cYou cannot maintain large manufacturing facilities without confirmed orders.\u201d<\/p>\n

Planning delays, especially in housing, continue to disrupt that pipeline. Even so, Milne remains optimistic that regulatory improvements could help stabilize demand over time.<\/p>\n

Collaboration and connection across borders<\/h3>\n

Collaboration, he added, will play a major role in that progress.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe industry will become stronger working together,\u201d Milne said. \u201cCompanies are increasingly open to sharing experience and knowledge.\u201d<\/p>\n

He believes a global network is essential in today\u2019s market. \u201cChallenges are not limited to one country,\u201d he said. \u201cLearning from other regions helps companies adapt faster.\u201d<\/p>\n

That thinking has shaped MBI\u2019s growing presence across Europe. Milne has hosted in-person meetings in Lisbon, Brussels, and Eindhoven to connect with members and better understand local markets.<\/p>\n

\u201cEach country has its own challenges,\u201d he said. \u201cWe need that local insight to provide meaningful updates at a European and global level.\u201d<\/p>\n

These meetings are designed to encourage open discussion. \u201cThe agendas are flexible so people can share their experiences,\u201d Milne said. \u201cWe\u2019ve also included local associations to strengthen relationships.\u201d<\/p>\n

He expects the effort to expand into additional countries, building a stronger network across the region.<\/p>\n

Events also play a central role in connecting the global modular community.<\/p>\n

For European companies, Milne sees clear value in attending World of Modular<\/a>. \u201cThe program includes keynote speakers, new products, and breakout sessions that show where the industry is heading,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

But the real value often happens between sessions. \u201cThe networking is just as important,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s where companies share knowledge and explore new opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n

He expects similar benefits from MBI\u2019s European event, with a stronger regional focus. \u201cIt gives companies more space to discuss issues specific to Europe,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

When asked about MBI\u2019s overall value, Milne pointed to two key factors.<\/p>\n

\u201cIndustry knowledge and professional opportunity,\u201d he said. \u201cMembers gain access to global expertise and a network of leaders and innovators.\u201d<\/p>\n

As Europe\u2019s modular market continues to evolve, those connections will become even more important.<\/p>\n

The global industry will come together at the 2026 World of Modular, taking place April 20\u201323, 2026, at the Bellagio Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. The Modular Building Institute will also host its World of Modular Europe event October 12\u201314, 2026, in Amsterdam, bringing a regional focus to the same conversations shaping modular construction worldwide.<\/p>\n
