Innovative 2016 Trends for Construction and Manufacturing Industry

People’s choice for a lifestyle is every evolving. Especially, where they wish to stay at and what do they wish to purchase are two common behaviors that is linked to changing economic and social conditions. Both manufacturing and construction industry saw highs and lows in 2015, with landmark opportunities to scale new heights in 2016. There are several trends in these particular sectors, which could impact consumer behavior and the industry in itself this coming year.

These factors are based on changing customer preference, robotics & technology, security concerns, e-commerce & internet marketing, rise in commercial buildings, manufacturing plant construction, green initiatives, single-family apartments etc.  Here are some key trends in real-estate building and manufacturing industries.

Greater Employment Facilities

Expenditure on non-residential buildings in 2015 was about $360 million, which may increase in 2016 to $390 billion. This trend has decreased unemployment in housing industry. As per construction reports, more employees are required to fight labor shortages in new building projects. Be it on the site, headquarters, or warehousing of raw materials, manual force is needed as much as robotics.

Advanced Robotics

Technology has implanted its seeds in every market segment, including manufacturing and housing. Especially in construction, where labor force is needed at a great strength, the growing need of robotics is manifold here. And successfully, software and mechanics are developed to replace human force in several small and big activities. This trend is also true in manufacturing and production sectors.

Better Security Online

E-commerce has caught up with housing and manufacturing sector. While it were just the developed nations which utilized internet marketing, now developing nations, especially from Asia and Africa are also using this technique. In such a measure, security online has become important to protect against cyber crimes. According to Indian construction industry spectrum, manufacturing and real-estate companies are deploying modern cyber security methods to safeguard from online theft and hacking.

Go Green Efforts

The green building materials in U.S. market was worth &43.8 billion in 2014, and $40.0 billion in 2013. The recent construction reports state annual growth for U.S in 2014-2019 is 9.5 percent, and shall top $69 billion in forecast period. Consumers prefer green materials as these consume low energy, are eco-friendly, and sustainable items for a healthier home or office environment. These items perhaps a way bit expensive, are useful for a better lifestyle in many ways.

Strengths and Threats

As we have discussed about the major trends in housing and manufacturing industry for 2015-2016, it is important to note the strengths and threats to both these sectors. A challenge to real-estate is roping in young customers, especially from developing nations. In the Indian construction industry and that of the world, the purchase of houses is done by people over 60 or after 30. Trend for home upgrades and renovations are also leading the housing market.

·         With quality and facilities come greater spending. Thus, investment and money availability are both challenge and strength for real-estate and manufacturing segments.  People are now ready to pay for class services, yet many find it difficult to pay for the same.

·         Strengths in manufacturing and housing industry is greater outlets on the internet, making it easier to reach desired customers, more knowledgeable and skilled industrialists, use of technology in securing consumer needs, assisting the supply cycle.

Modular construction will compel to discard old fashioned techniques to mark progress globally.

Permanent modular construction is tremendously creative task, it is performed in several steps and that makes this process unique and preserves its authenticity along with increasing demand and craze in the market. This is looked up on as perpetual option introduced in the area of construction and is most probably preferred in the form of delivery method at offsite, movable  units are manufactured as per the demand and are already prefabricated to complement to the single or multi-story architecture.

This way team of engineers and developers can work and offer complete building solutions in great variety of transportable modules. Market Research emphasized on unnoticed fact, because of very poor awareness about the convenience and practicality of this technique it is not yet widely used on the other hand it has also some cons; this technique cannot be suited to every geographical location yet it has to walk long way and mark progress to get widely acknowledged.

In reality these modular buildings are assembled in a controlled environment and safe surrounding, you will get loads of options to choose from for example wood, steel, or concrete. Modular construction components can possibly be fused meticulously when required for onsite projects, another popular characteristics of modular construction is, it can fix up small as well as big problems efficiently and presents elegant interior to suit your taste in relatively less time, one will find it hard to believe that it produces little waste if compared with conventional construction method, and no doubt it gives nicest quality control in contrast to the traditional of the construction industry. Commercial modular construction is also a new genre that is being explored by many innovative engineers and builders.

Clean energy to inspire and change fate of all the industries worldwide !

Scientists are struggling hard to find appropriate resources of energy for the betterment of environment and also willing to decrease reliance on conventional sources of energy such as oil and fossil fuels. Construction industry is booming with unprecedented speed and due to increased awareness worldwide, this industry has begun to encourage use of clean energy to maximum possible extent. There are different school of thoughts over the same topic and concept.

One group of people is of the opinion that hydrogen based energy sources are more futuristic and will certainly boost our economy. Other group of analysts believes that significant improvisations and development in the solar energy is perhaps big solution for all queries. Now focus has been shifted towards wind turbines and antimatter technology. To encourage next generation to use electric vehicles will definitely play big role. Nuclear power generation might face stagnation someday. Market Research Report states that global electricity need of information technology has already reached at 8 %. This is just a fraction of overall final electricity consumption.

This demand is rising day by day. More than one third of the energy is consumed by the gadgets and devices that are used for domestic and office purpose. Construction industry of India is nowadays emphasizing on clean and green energy sources to keep right balance between environment and human growth index. Energy & Power both are interconnected elements. India is the first country in the world to introduce, a ministry of non-conventional resources. It was initiated in early 1980s.
