Abstract: The development of prefabricated construction is an important direction for the transformation and upgrading of the construction industry, and the prefabricated construction industry chain is the foundation for the stable development of the prefabricated construction industry. Based on the theory of industry chain, this paper studies the factor impact to the prefabricated construction industry chain, and analyses the factors influencing the development of the industry chain through structural equation models. The results show the five influencing factors of enterprise participation willingness, enterprise capability, inter-enterprise coupling degree, structure level and external environment, which have significant positive impacts on the development of the industry chain. Therefore, it is necessary to promote the healthy and stable development of the prefabricated construction industry chain from the aspects of enhancing enterprises participation willingness, improving enterprises capabilities, strengthening the coupling ability between enterprises, optimising the structure of the industry chain and creating a good external environment.

Keywords: prefabricated construction; industry chain; influencing factor; structural equation models.
