A structural profile of the manufactured housing industry in Canada, United States, Japan and Germany / prepared for Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) and The Canadian Manufactured Housing...: NH15-846/1996E-PDF

"This study was initiated by and financially supported by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) at the request of the Canadian Manufactured Housing Association (CMHA). Its purpose is twofold. A statistical profile of the Canadian manufactured housing industry has never been available to industry stakeholders. The absolute size of the industry and the relative shares of the differing market segments have not been known. CMHC and CMHA sought to determine the absolute size of the Canadian manufactured housing industry, the size of the manufactured housing industry relative to the site built housing industry, as well as to identify market trends in the types of manufactured housing that is produced in Canada. Housing starts in Canada have declined in this decade and are projected to remain lower than the two previous decades for some years to come. This has been an impetus for Canadian manufactured housing manufacturers to more aggressively explore export markets. To assist Canadian manufacturers to evaluate foreign markets CMHA sought to develop a profile of priority export markets; specifically the United States, Japan and Western Europe"--Introduction.
