43% growth in real estate pre-sales: CAGR report

The Indian residential real estate sector has witnessed a strong surge in recent years, with the top 15 listed developers reporting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 43 per cent in pre-sales from financial year (FY) 2021 to FY24, reaching Rs 1.2 trillion, according to the Axis Capital report.

Increasing absorption rates and a focus on higher launches across major and emerging markets have propelled this growth in the sector.

Between FY 21 and FY 24, developers scaled in their established market, which induced a large part of the growth observed, said the report.

About 80 per cent of this growth was attributed to existing markets, marking a 36 per cent CAGR, with demand particularly robust in the top seven cities, which saw a 41 per cent growth in value.

"As demand momentum picked up, most of the companies initially focused on scaling up in their existing markets and simultaneously building a pipeline outside of their home market," the report said.
