Manufactured Home Dealers in the US industry analysis

Over the past five years, changing market dynamics and several significant trends have steered the course of the Manufactured Homes Dealers industry. Volatile lending conditions have left a notable imprint, with low interest rates following the outbreak of COVID-19 giving a boost to financing availability and boosting the industry. However, the subsequent rise in interest rates and tighter lending regulations increased financing hurdles for potential homebuyers, leading to a slowdown of revenue growth towards the end of the period. Another major inflection came as traditional house prices soared, making affordable manufactured homes a more attractive proposition. Still, the industry has also been undergoing consolidation as less-profitable dealers either exited the market or merged with larger players, intensifying market concentration. Overall, industry revenue is expected to increase at a CAGR of 1.4% to an estimated $7.2 billion over the five years to 2024, including an estimated drop of 1.9% in 2024 alone.

Trends and Insights

  • Volatile lending conditions have contributed to fluctuating revenue. Amid favorable economic conditions, the industry experienced strong growth, but less profitable dealers have continued to either leave the industry or consolidate.
  • Used product segments have become less popular as disposable income has increased as consumers are able to afford new products. Increased access to credit has enabled consumers to better finance multisection manufactured homes.
  • A low average income and an aging population make the Southeast a strategically viable location for manufactured home dealers. Dealers will find success in areas with dense populations and consumers seeking out affordable housing alternatives.
  • Little product differentiation leads to intense price-based competition. This industry is heavily sales-based with a focus on marketing.
