BACK TO ALL NEWS

Production and shipment data from July 2025 reflects the growing recognition of manufactured homes as a high-quality, attainable housing option for families across the country, according the the MHI Economic Report. Manufactured housing production rose 5.1% year-over-year and is also up 5.1% year-to-date, signaling steady growth in output. Shipments of single-section homes increased 1.5% year-to-date, while multi-section homes saw a stronger gain of 7.9%.

Although the seasonally adjusted annual rate of shipments (SAAR) was 100,222, slightly down 4.8% from 2024, regional performance remains strong. Seven of nine U.S. divisions experienced shipment growth over the past year, with the West North Central, New England, and Mountain divisions leading in percentage increases.

The industry’s footprint remains robust, with 150 plants and 37 manufacturers operating nationwide. July saw the opening of a new Clayton Homes plant in Conway, AR, further expanding production capacity.
