  • The APAC Real Estate Market is valued at USD 2 trillion, based on recent analysis. Growth is underpinned by rapid urbanization, expanding services economies, and surging demand for commercial, logistics, and residential assets driven by digitalization and AI adoption.

APAC Real Estate Market Industry Analysis

Growth Drivers

  • Institutional Investment Surge:In future, institutional investment in APAC real estate reached US$155.9 billion, reflecting a robust confidence among investors. Major markets such as Australia, Mainland China, and India have seen significant inflows, particularly in the office and industrial sectors. This surge indicates a recovery in investor sentiment, with retail properties also witnessing renewed interest, driven by economic resilience and urbanization trends.
  • Major Commercial Deal – AirTrunk Acquisition:The acquisition of AirTrunk by Blackstone and the CPP Investment Board for US$16 billion in future marks a pivotal moment in APAC real estate. This transaction, the largest of its kind in the region, underscores the growing demand for hyperscale data centers and strategic infrastructure, reflecting a shift towards digital transformation and the increasing importance of data-driven assets in the market.
  • Construction Sector Contribution in India:In the fiscal year 2024-25, India's construction real Gross Value Added (GVA) was ?15.72 lakh crore, with a nominal GVA of ?26.27 lakh crore. This sector accounts for approximately 18% of India's economy and employs around 71 million people. The growth in construction is pivotal for economic expansion, driving demand for residential and commercial real estate, and contributing significantly to job creation.

Market Challenges

  • Investment Pullback in Early 2025:In future, APAC real estate investment volumes fell to US$24.2 billion, marking a 10-year low. This decline is attributed to heightened economic uncertainties, geopolitical tensions, and tariff risks, which have collectively dampened investor confidence across various sectors, including industrial, retail, and office spaces, leading to a cautious market outlook.
  • High Office Vacancy Across the Region:The average office vacancy rate in APAC reached 19% in future, reflecting an oversupply in several markets. While leasing activity remains robust in countries like India and Japan, the overall high vacancy rates indicate challenges in demand, necessitating strategic adjustments from property owners and developers to attract tenants and optimize occupancy.

APAC Real Estate Market Future Outlook

The APAC real estate market is poised for a transformative phase, driven by a flight to quality and a heightened focus on ESG compliance. As tenants increasingly seek high-quality, environmentally sustainable buildings, prime locations in cities like Singapore and Tokyo are witnessing rising rents. Additionally, policy stimulus measures in China are expected to revitalize investment confidence, while the demand for industrial and logistics properties will surge as supply chains diversify away from traditional hubs, creating new opportunities for growth.

Market Opportunities

  • Data Center and Digital Infrastructure:The US$16 billion acquisition of AirTrunk highlights the growing demand for digital infrastructure in APAC. As the digital economy expands, there are significant investment opportunities in hyperscale data centers and logistics, particularly in Southeast Asia, where supply chain diversification is driving demand for advanced infrastructure.
  • India’s Construction & Real Estate Scaling:With a construction real GVA of ?15.72 lakh crore in future, India presents vast opportunities across residential, commercial, and infrastructure segments. The ongoing market expansion and job creation in the construction sector are expected to fuel demand for real estate, making it a key area for investment and development.
