Overall, PayNXT360 maintains a positive growth outlook for the prefabricated construction industry in Latin America over the next three to four years.

Modular Data Centers is planning to double its contracted capacity and enter new international markets in 2024

Brazil-based Modular Data Centers is experiencing significant market demand for its pre-fabricated compact modules and anticipates a substantial increase in its contracted capacity for datacenter projects in 2024. The firm forecasts doubling its capacity to 24MW. In addition to this growth, Modular Data Centers is also considering expansion into new markets. This strategic move is likely aimed at leveraging the heightened demand and further solidifying its position in the data center market.

  • Modular Data Centers is planning to explore new markets in the US and Europe in 2024, while continuing to focus on key markets in Latin America, particularly Brazil, Mexico, and Chile. The firms’ main client is Scala Data Centers, with which Modular has a long-term parntership. In Q3 2023, Modular Data Centers completed the delivery of an initial set of modules for Scala’s data center in Porto Alegre, Brazil, a project valued at approximately US$50 million.

    Beyond its partnership with Scala, Modular Data Centers sees opportunities to supply other colocation providers, including Scala’s competitors, and to sell directly to cloud companies that are developing their own hyperscale sites. This expansion strategy reflects the firm’s aim to capitalize on the growing demand for datacenter infrastructure across different regions and client segments.

    Global modular construction firms are setting up manufacturing bases in Mexico to scale and drive business growth

    With cheaper labor and better connectivity to countries like the United States, modular construction firms are looking at Mexico as their manufacturing base to expand and accelerate business growth.
  • Mighty Buildings, the United States-based modular construction firm, announced that the firm is opening a new factory in Mexico in 2023. The new manufacturing facility is capable of producing components for an entire home. The firm, through the manufacturing facility, is aiming to scale its operations and accelerate business growth over the medium term. With the modular construction industry projected to grow at a steady pace in the Mexican market over the next three to four years, the manufacturing facility will also enable Mighty Buildings to strengthen its position in the country from the short to medium-term perspective.

    This is not the first instance when a global firm has announced to manufacture of prefabricated modules in Mexico. Vessels, the Chinese modular construction firm, also announced it to build modular capsule homes in Mexico in 2022. Going forward, ConsTrack360 expects more such firms to build their manufacturing base in the Latin American market, thereby also supporting the growth of the industry in Mexico.
