Weekly report of building decoration industry: the investment in affordable housing exceeds expectations, and once again emphasizes the good opportunity of industrial chain investment

One week market review: 1) Ministry of housing and urban rural development: this year, we should continue to promote the structural reform of housing supply side, adhere to the simultaneous development of rent and purchase, and optimize the housing supply structure. 2) National Bureau of Statistics: in 2021, the national fixed asset investment (excluding farmers) increased by 4.9% over the previous year, with an average growth of 3.9% in the two years. 3) According to the 14th five year plan for housing and urban rural construction in Wuhu City, 100% of affordable housing will adopt prefabricated buildings by the end of 2025.

This week’s view: the investment in affordable housing is stronger than expected, and the assembly type is promoted rapidly, emphasizing the good opportunity of industrial chain investment again. On January 20, the Ministry of housing and urban rural development said that it would vigorously increase the supply of affordable rental housing, focus on large cities with net population inflow, and build and raise 2.4 million affordable rental housing in 22 years. Over the past 21 years, affordable housing support policies have been intensively promulgated and intensified. The Politburo meeting mentioned pushing forward the construction of affordable housing rental housing three times. The central economic and work conference emphasized promoting the construction of affordable housing. The Ministry of housing and urban rural development proposed to strive to increase the proportion of new affordable housing to more than 30% during the 14th Five Year Plan period, and the government will provide support for the construction of affordable housing from multiple dimensions and levels, such as land, capital, finance, tax reduction and fee reduction and administrative approval optimization. Superimposed on the Ministry of housing and urban rural development’s unexpected preparation plan for affordable rental housing, the government’s attention to affordable housing is increasing. At present, most of the key first and second tier cities have responded positively and successively announced the construction plan of affordable housing during the 14th Five Year Plan period. Among them, the new affordable housing in Beishang Shenzhen accounts for more than 45% of the new housing. We estimate that 7 million affordable housing units will be started in key 39 cities during the 14th Five Year Plan period. Considering that there are still four years before the release of the affordable housing construction plan by the end of the 14th Five Year Plan period, 1.75 million affordable housing units will be started each year. This time, 2.4 million affordable housing units are planned to be built in 22 years, 37% higher than our previous expectation and + 155% year-on-year. The investment scale of affordable housing has increased significantly than expected.

Considering that the housing area of affordable housing is dominated by small households of no more than 70 square meters, the corresponding construction area is 168 million square meters, and the corresponding investment scale exceeds 600 billion, it is expected to become an important marginal stability force other than commercial housing investment. In the early stage of development, prefabricated buildings are faced with problems such as high cost, low consumer acceptance and imperfect industrial supporting facilities. However, due to the advantages of standardization, industrialization, energy conservation and environmental protection, they are promoted faster in government invested construction projects and public buildings. We believe that with the increase of affordable housing investment, the demand for prefabricated buildings is expected to continue to expand. On January 20, the National Conference on housing and urban rural development was held in Beijing. The Ministry of housing and urban rural development stressed that “in 2022, we will improve the intelligent construction policy and industrial system, vigorously develop prefabricated buildings, and the proportion of prefabricated building area in new buildings will reach more than 25% in 2022”. This proportion is 5pct higher than that in 2020, and the prefabricated construction continues to accelerate. We once again emphasize the good opportunity of industrial chain investment.
