Report Overview

The global real estate market size was valued at USD 3.69 trillion in 2021 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2% from 2022 to 2030. The market is expected to grow at a healthy pace during the forecast period, owing to the rising population and a desire for personal household space. As of 2021, the commercial real estate space was estimated to be the most important element driving industry expansion.

The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the growth of the market. The impact of the pandemic was visible in the first few months of the crisis, especially from a retail standpoint, owing to strict lockdown measures and movement restrictions. The lockdowns imposed across various regions resulted in a delay in new construction projects and led to sluggish industry growth.

Despite the pandemic's huge reduction in home sales, real estate activity began to rebound, returning to pre-pandemic levels. Potential buyers began to ramp up their search for and purchase of homes, boosting the growth of the real estate market. According to the National Association of Realtors, pending sales in U.S. metro areas, which were down more than 30% in April 2020, were up almost 30% by August 2020.
