Asia Pacific’s (Apac’s) real estate market continues to outperform its global peers, with real GDP growth exceeding that of the US and Europe, says Savills Research in its global outlook report for
2025, released on Nov 28.
“For the first time in five years, there is more stability, and perhaps more conviction, in the economic outlook,” says Paul Tostevin, Savills head of world research. “This will put markets on a surer footing, boosting investment and activity.”
In the first three quarters of 2024, Apac saw investment volumes grow 4% y-o-y to US$108.7 billion. The three markets that saw the most significant y-o-y growth in investment volumes over this period were Singapore (74% growth), South Korea (71%) and Australia (63%).
Savills Research forecasts global real estate investment turnover to rise 27% to US$952 billion in 2025. By 2026, global investment activity is expected to surpass the US$1 trillion mark for the first time since 2022.
Savills says global investments are expected to reach pre-pandemic levels by 2026, spurred by a stabilisation in interest rates and improved investor confidence.
Singapore’s real estate market is expected to parallel the global narrative,” says Alan Cheong, executive director of research & consultancy, Savills Singapore.
Meanwhile, according to Savills, Apac is expected to stage “a full investment recovery” next year, driven by sectors such as tourism, living and industrial sector, specifically logistics and data centres.
