Manufactured Home Wholesaling in the US industry analysis
This industry supplies prefabricated homes and various other construction materials to downstream markets, such as dealers, retailers and land developers. Wholesalers' revenue is therefore impacted by the broader downstream construction sector. During the COVID-19 pandemic, as interest rates were lowered, the housing market grew, enabling manufactured home wholesalers to tap into a consistent stream of demand. At the same time, construction activity benefited from high disposable income levels and elevated demand for housing. This trend essentially reversed itself since 2022, as the Federal Reserve has remained committed to raising interest rates to combat high inflation. Despite rising rates, industry revenue still rose at a CAGR of 1.5% to an estimated $35.9 billion in 2024, when revenue is set to rise 1.1% and profit has seen an overall decline.
Trends and Insights
- Low interest rates enabled bustling residential construction activity during the pandemic, shielding the industry from the adverse pandemic macroeconomic conditions. As interest rates have grown since 2022, the industry has suffered from a lack of investment in construction.
- Demand for manufactured homes ebbs and flows in parallel to interest rate behavior. As interest rates have recently skyrocketed, investment in construction has declined. This damages the industry, but manufactured homes’ affordability makes them more durable and attractive options in times of economic hardship.
- Florida is the most significant location for manufactured home wholesaling in the Southeast region. This location's high demand for wholesale construction materials is driven by reoccurring storm and hurricane damage, and an aging population.
- Wholesalers offering a wide array of construction products and manufactured home accessories fare better than wholesalers focusing on a niche pocket of the product space. Wholesalers within the industry compete primarily based on price, quality, breadth of product selection and customer service.
