Drivers of change for the Real Estate Industry

March 10, 2017

Rapid urbanisation and demographic changes, especially within emerging markets, will lead to substantial growth in the real estate industry. At the same time as the industry’s opportunities grow, so too will assets invested in the sector. “As confidence returns to real estate, the industry faces a number of fundamental shifts that will shape its future,” says PwC Global Real Estate Leader, Kees Hage. The worldwide growth in the real estate industry over the years to 2020 will largely be driven by developments resulting from far-reaching economic and social changes. By 2020, real estate managers will have a broader range of opportunities, with greater risks and new value drivers. As real estate is a business with long development cycles – from planning to construction takes several years – now is the time to plan for these changes.
