Dublin, March 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Global Housing Market Report" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Global Forecast Highlights Expansion in Emerging Economies and Shift towards Multifamily Housing Developments

The latest report on the 'Global Housing Market' provides valuable insights into the international landscape of new residential construction poised for advancement. With a projected 2.1% annual growth rate through 2028, resulting in 62.0 million new housing units, the report sheds light on the intricate dynamics of housing development worldwide.

Urbanization and Population Shifts Dictating Housing Formats Diverse Housing Developments Emerge to Meet International Demands

  • Urban migration within the Africa/Mideast region is generating substantial demand for new multifamily housing solutions.
  • India's burgeoning middle class is a significant catalyst driving the country's housing market growth, enhancing prospects for new homeownership.
  • Government-led social housing initiatives worldwide aim to upgrade living standards by addressing the issues of inadequate housing.

Conversely, particular constraints are expected to temper these advances, notably in the United States where high mortgage rates, labor shortages, and material costs present challenges. China, as the largest housing market globally, is experiencing growth limitation due to demographic trends and economic pressures on developers.

Ongoing Trends Favor Multifamily Housing Surge Affordability and Accessibility at the Forefront of Housing Development Trends

Nonetheless, multifamily housing is projected to experience more rapid growth than single-family alternatives. This progression is attributed to increased urban density, economic considerations, and evolving consumer preferences, especially in densely populated cities with public transport needs. Notable are the proactive measures taken by governments to facilitate housing affordability and ameliorate inadequate living situations.

Housing Stock Segmentation and Residential Floor Space Global Housing Diversities Reflect Regional Variations in Dwelling Size and Type

The analysis segments the global housing stock by single-family and multifamily units, with emphasis on:

  • Single-family homes as the majority in rural settlements and countries with low population density.
  • Multifamily units winning favor in urban environments and regions where average income levels favor these affordable housing options.

The United States records the largest average dwelling size, whereas Eastern Europe, with smaller average dwellings, demonstrates a range steered by economic capacities and land availability. Conversely, despite the prevalence of single-family homes in the Africa/Mideast region, the average dwelling size remains modest, reflective of economic and societal conditions.

Homeownership and Housing Quality: A Global Perspective Homeownership Rates and Living Conditions Varied Across Regions

The report analyzes a wide spectrum of housing characteristics, including dwelling per household ratios, homeownership levels, and housing quality, which varies markedly worldwide due to cultural, historical, and economic influences. Additionally, informal housing settlements are included in the data set, emphasizing the challenges and growth within urban slum populations.

Future Outlook for New Housing Developments Growth Projections Favor Multifamily Units in the Development Landscape

Prospects for new housing continue to lean towards multifamily units, driven by urbanization, affordability concerns, and social housing investments. Nevertheless, opportunities remain for single-family constructions, linked to rising income levels and the predominance of rural populations in specific regions.
This comprehensive report uncovers the nature of housing dynamics and is an indispensable resource for understanding the complexities and future directions of the global housing market.
