- (1)
- More and more countries are exploring how to develop their own PC industry. Many developing countries have conducted qualitative analyses of PC adoption, similar to the predicted trend as described by Li et al. (2014) [14]. Scholars can explore the mechanism of PC industry development, learn from its industry development path, and localize by comparing countries with mature PC industries. Stakeholders have a greater impact on the development of the PC industry, which serves as an effective direction when exploring the policies and systems of the PC industry from the perspective of stakeholders [46].
- (2)
- MPC research traditionally focuses on sustainability, however, quality, schedule, and cost are also important factors which need to be considered for a project. The research on performance evaluation and optimization study will therefore be more systematic and comprehensive.
- (3)
- Integrated management of the whole life cycle of prefabricated buildings becomes the target. The research should not only include the problems of design, production, transportation, and assembly process, but also the problems of the operation and demolition stage.
- (4)
- Advanced production concepts and techniques are constantly introduced into the MPC, such as Lean Construction [33], Prefabricated Supply Chain theory [13], Circular Economy [81], etc. These theories broaden the perspective of the MPC. However, current research seeks to investigate how to integrate and practice the MPC.
- (5)
- Transformation from the MPC to digital. Researchers are continually investigating the scenario of the comprehensive application of information technology, and they are exploring how to efficiently apply it to increase production efficiency.
