BusinessMirror: Hive Modular Positions Philippines as Regional Export Hub for Sustainable Construction

‍

Manila, Philippines, May 2026. National business daily BusinessMirror featured Hive Modular's vision of turning the Philippines into a regional export hub for sustainable construction. The piece sets the stage with hard numbers: a Philippine real estate market projected to reach 27.11 billion US dollars by 2031, a global prefab market expected to top 200 billion US dollars by 2030, and a Philippine prefab industry growing at a compound annual rate above 11 percent.

\BusinessMirror captures Hive Modular's broader thesis on Philippine manufacturing. John Avrett, our founder and CEO, tells the publication: "We see the prefabricated construction industry as a strong hedge against looming disruptions from AI and other sources to the Philippines's service sector." He adds: "I am confident that the Philippines is poised to be a global leader in this industry, and we're excited to be among the first wave to usher in these new future-oriented jobs."

The article highlights Hive Modular's Silang, Cavite factory, our Casita X line proven at the Batangas showroom, and our plan to serve Asia Pacific demand from a Philippine manufacturing base. It also frames Hive's mission clearly, in Avrett's words: "The Hive method isn't just building faster, it's also about giving people back their time and making the entire construction process simple and seamless."
