Tiger Steel Engineering has projected that demand for Pre-Engineered Buildings (PEBs) in India is rapidly approaching 0.8 — 1 million tonnes per year, driven by robust growth across multiple sectors. The company attributes this surge to expanding infrastructure needs in e-commerce, logistics, metro rail systems, airports, and newly established industrial units.
According to industry experts, PEB technology offers significant advantages in terms of construction speed, cost efficiency, and design flexibility. These attributes have made it increasingly popular among developers and manufacturers seeking to accelerate project timelines without compromising on quality or durability.
The e-commerce and logistics sectors are emerging as key demand generators, with large warehousing facilities and distribution centres requiring rapid deployment. Similarly, metro systems and airport infrastructure projects are increasingly turning to PEB solutions for station buildings, hangars, and maintenance facilities. New industrial units, especially in manufacturing hubs, are also embracing this construction method to meet operational requirements efficiently.
Tiger Steel Engineering notes that India’s PEB industry has moved beyond its early adoption stage and is now recognised as a mainstream construction choice for large-scale projects. The shift is supported by advances in engineering design, improved supply chains for steel fabrication, and growing awareness of the sustainability benefits associated with prefabricated structures.
The company anticipates that continued infrastructure investments, coupled with the government’s focus on manufacturing and logistics development, will sustain high demand levels for PEB solutions in the coming years. As project scales grow larger and timelines become more competitive, the role of PEB in shaping India’s industrial and commercial landscape is expected to expand further.
