Government policies and regulations are of paramount importance to the container homes market. Many governments around the globe have realized that container homes can relieve the housing shortage and are providing incentives to do so under sustainable building practices. However, zoning laws, building regulations, and permitting procedures can differ widely at regional levels, influencing the adoption of container homes.
