The government, in many developed regions, such as Europe and others, has formulated initiatives that focus on designing, building, and operating structures following green building concept, for efficient use of energy and resources used for construction. This in turn increases the demand for homes built using old containers.

The container houses can protect interior architecture from the changes in the external environment, as proper insulation is provided in these prefabricated homes. This in turn is expected to boost the demand for container houses in cold regions. Furthermore, the growth in population and urbanization in large and developed cities increases the need for new construction, where the limited availability of space is a major constraint. This in turn boosts the demand for compact and movable homes. Container homes are smaller in size and can be moved from one place to another. This factor is expected to fuel the demand for container homes.
Nonetheless, scarcity of housing units in developing economies, such as Africa, is expected to provide lucrative growth opportunity to architectures to expand business in this region. Furthermore, increase in focus toward adoption of affordable housing structures is also expected to provide lucrative growth opportunities in the container homes market.
