Dublin, Sept. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- "Turkey Prefabricated Construction Market Intelligence and Future Growth Dynamics Databook - 100+ KPIs, Market Size & Forecast by End Markets, Precast Products, and Precast Materials - Q2 2026 Update" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The prefabricated construction market in Turkey is forecast to grow by 3.8% annually to reach TRY 54,323.7 million in 2026. Following a CAGR of 4.4% during 2021-2025, the market is expected to record a CAGR of 3.4% from 2026 to 2030. Its value is projected to increase from TRY 52,354.3 million in 2025 to approximately TRY 62,036.5 million by 2030.
Growth in the Turkey prefabricated construction market is being supported by new light-steel building regulations, earthquake reconstruction, rising construction costs and demand for specialised modular facilities. The sector is also benefiting from increased emphasis on factory-controlled production, standardised engineering, material efficiency and predictable project delivery.
Light-Steel Regulation Establishes a Clearer Technical Framework
Turkey published the Regulation on the Design, Calculation and Construction Principles of Light Steel Buildings on 17 May 2026, with implementation scheduled for 1 January 2027. The regulation covers prefabricated, modular and hybrid light-steel systems, as well as profiles produced on site. It introduces requirements for structural design, materials, connections, corrosion protection and fire performance.
The framework is expected to improve technical consistency across the light-steel prefabricated building market. Manufacturers with established engineering capabilities, documented factory processes and standardised connection systems should be well positioned to serve residential and institutional projects. Smaller suppliers may face higher compliance and quality-control costs as the market moves toward more formal production and certification practices.
Earthquake Reconstruction Expands Demand for Permanent Prefabricated Housing
Post-earthquake reconstruction is accelerating the use of factory-produced light-steel and panelised housing in rural and geographically dispersed communities. DORCE disclosed a 2025 Hatay project involving 295 light-steel homes across nine locations. Structural systems and panelised elements were manufactured in Ankara before transportation and on-site assembly. Another programme delivered 167 prefabricated modular light-steel homes in Kahramanmaras and Diyarbakir.
These projects demonstrate the expanding role of prefabrication in permanent housing rather than temporary accommodation alone. Public-sector adoption, completed reference projects and greater consumer awareness are expected to support future demand for single-family homes and selected low-rise residential developments. Karmod also reported growing national interest in factory-produced steel housing during 2026.
Modular Construction Moves Into Specialised Infrastructure
Turkish prefabricated construction companies are diversifying beyond housing, offices and construction-site buildings. DORCE began producing modular data-centre solutions in 2026 for defence, energy, mining, humanitarian and remote-site applications. These systems integrate factory-produced or containerised structures with power, cooling, fire protection and IT infrastructure. The company has also presented rapidly deployable modular facilities for defence and aerospace uses.
Demand for technically integrated modular construction is expected to increase across digital infrastructure, telecommunications, energy, defence and industrial projects. Companies combining manufacturing with MEP integration, digital design, logistics, installation and turnkey EPC services should capture higher-value opportunities. This diversification may also strengthen Turkey's export potential while reducing manufacturer dependence on price-sensitive residential projects.
Productivity and Sustainability Strengthen the Market Case
Turkey's 2026 Presidential Annual Programme identifies modular and prefabricated construction among the technologies expected to expand alongside BIM, recycled materials, energy-efficient materials and AI. Industry discussions are increasingly focused on productivity, embodied emissions and measurable environmental performance.
Construction cost pressures are reinforcing this trend. TUIK reported that Turkey's building construction cost index rose 28.54% year-on-year in June 2026, including increases of 27.78% for materials and 29.87% for labour. Factory production can improve material planning, reduce exposure to uncontrolled site activity and transfer labour-intensive tasks into repeatable manufacturing environments. Competitive advantage will increasingly depend on manufacturers demonstrating delivery certainty, production efficiency and credible environmental performance.
Competitive Landscape
Competition is expected to intensify and become more segmented over the next 2-4 years. The market includes specialist manufacturers operating across light-steel, panelised, modular and containerised systems. Key participants include Karmod, DORCE, ORAY Prefabrik, Idealmod, Aday Grup and Modul-Us.
- Karmod supplies residential, educational, healthcare, office and industrial prefabricated systems.
- DORCE combines modular and light-steel manufacturing with design, engineering, logistics, assembly and EPC delivery.
- ORAY Prefabrik operates a 40,000 m factory in Ankara serving housing, office, dormitory and construction-site applications.
- Idealmod provides modular and light-steel building solutions through its Kocaeli production facility.
- Aday Grup supplies light-steel, container, prefabricated and flat-pack systems.
Recent activity has focused primarily on product expansion and project delivery rather than mergers and acquisitions. In addition to launching modular data-centre solutions, DORCE showcased defence and aerospace facilities at SAHA EXPO. In June 2026, Karmod completed nine prefabricated site buildings covering 3,076 m for mass-housing projects in Izmir, Konya and Gaziantep, installing the facilities within 18 days.
