This economics study considers the world housing market. It estimates the size of the housing stock and the level of construction of new housing units, each by type of dwelling unit (single-family and multifamily). In the US and Canadian markets, detail is provided for
manufactured housing (factory-built housing assembled on a fixed chassis for transport) in the total of stock and new units of single-family housing.
Economic and demographic indicators presented in this study were obtained from The Freedonia Group Consensus Forecasts dated June 2007. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) historical data are derived from the national income and products accounts from the Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) for its member countries, from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) for its member countries, and from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for its member countries that are not part of the OECD or EBRD. GDP estimates for other nations are based on information from
the World Bank and a variety of other sources, including the countries’ statistical bureaus. GDP forecasts are developed from a consensus of
public agencies and private companies.
