INDIAN REAL ESTATE SET FOR BREAKTHROUGH: 16% GROWTH TO PROPEL MARKET TO $10 TRILLION BY 2047: COLLIERS-CREDAI REPORT

Six salient growth levers include urbanization, demographic shifts, digitalization, sustainability

India continues to be the fastest growing economy driven by strong domestic demand, improving business environment and supportive as well as forward-looking developmental policy initiatives. As India heads towards its centenary year of independence, real estate will play a pivotal role in economic growth trajectory of the country. This long-term growth in real estate is underpinned by six salient growth levers which includes, rapid urbanization, infrastructure development, digitalization, demographic shifts, sustainability and investment diversification; all of which will form the bedrock for a quantum leap in Indian real estate by 2047. These long-term growth ingredients will be pivotal in the expansion of Indian real estate – from under a trillion currently, to potentially a $10 trillion market by 2047, accounting for a 14-20% share in the country’s GDP.

The interplay between real estate and India’s economic growth journey over the next few decades is explored in the latest report “Indian Real estate: The Quantum Leap” by Colliers in collaboration with the Confederation of Real Estate Developers’ Associations of India (CREDAI) and released at the CREDAI NATCON event in Sydney. Most importantly, the quantum leap will create multiple real estate hotspots in its wake. Along the accelerated journey till 2047, various real estate segments will evolve and continue to proliferate, growing and maturing by varying degrees. Core assets such as office & residential real estate are likely to mature further and alternative assets such as data centers & senior living will embark upon strong growth trajectories. Market consolidation, fairpricing and institutionalization will become more pervasive across asset classes, especially in the industrial & warehousing segment.
