Firms entering into strategic collaborations is driving innovation in the prefabricated construction market

Portakabin, one of the leading modular construction firms, entered into a collaboration with Saint-Gobain Ecophon in April 2024. With this collaboration Portakabin seeks to offer optimal acoustics in its buildings.

  • Ecophon, a global leader in acoustic systems and part of the Saint-Gobain Group, has been working with Portakabin for five years. Their collaboration spans the United Kingdom, Ireland, and continental Europe. Both companies share a commitment to sustainability and offer innovative products. Saint-Gobain Ecophon focuses on enhancing indoor teaching environments to make speech and sound clear and understandable.
  • As part of this strategic collaboration with Portakabin, Ecophon have been developing various acoustic prototypes, specifically for the education market. The acoustic products work exceptionally well with plastic-coated steel ceilings. The firms have created a magnetic system for attaching lightweight acoustic panels to ceilings and walls, making installation quick and easy.


Going forward, in 2024, ConsTrack360 expects more such strategic collaborations in the European prefabricated construction industry. This will keep driving innovation and market growth over the medium term across Europe.

Turkish firms are eyeing expansion in the fast-growing European prefabricated construction market in 2024

Karmod, the Turkish firm offering prefabricated construction components, revealed that it is planning to expand its market share in Europe in February 2024. The firm, in 2023, experienced a negative export growth rate, due to the three-month ban on overseas sale. The ban was imposed due to the earthquakes.

  • Currently, the firm’s European market makes up 35% of its foreign sales. However, over the next five-year period, the firm seeks to increase the number to 60%. The firm is continuing to develop and expand its network to meet the international sales targets. Karmod, notably, is focused on increasing the sales of its premium steel villa housing in the European market. In addition to Europe, the firm is also targeting higher sales in the United States.



Karmod is not the only Turkish firm seeking to expand its market share in the European region. Module-T, one of the leading manufacturers of prefabricated containers known for its portable cabins, launched its first warehouse in southern France in October 2023. The Turkish firm seeks to strengthen its presence in the French market and speed up monobloc road shipments across Europe with this new facility. The firm aims to achieve a turnover of US$45 million by 2025. The expansion strategy of these Turkish-based prefabricated firms will drive the competitive landscape in the fast-growing market in 2024.
