Cushman & Wakefield’s 2022-2023 Asia REIT Market Insight report investigates the growing Real Estate Investment Trust market in Asia, examining the primary drivers and state of play in key markets including Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong SAR, mainland China and India.

Overall, the Asia REIT market has experienced declines in stock prices and overall market values in 2022, predominantly due to the influence of the U.S. interest rate hikes. Despite this, the Asia REIT market has still performed better than its U.S. and European counterparts.

Key highlights:

• At the close of 2022 the combined value of the Asia REIT market was at US$263.8 billion, down 14.7% y-o-y. The mainland China REIT market value surged 80% on the back of new product offerings, but the remaining Asia markets all experienced declines in market value.
• Industrial/logistics, healthcare, and data center assets have been favored by investors as new growth drivers in recent years.
• A total of 17 new products were introduced into the China REIT market in the period from March 2022 to June 2023.
• REITs have also proven popular with investors in India. Consequently, we estimate that more than 20% of Grade A office stock in India will be held by REITs by the end of 2024.

China's first REITs were launched in 2021, following earlier exploration of real estate securitization. As of March 2023, 27 REITs have been listed in China, covering various real estate infrastructure types. The sector is transitioning from volatility to a more stable market, and opportunities for private real estate investment funds in China are expanding.

Looking ahead, Chinese REITs are expected to diversify their assets, improve valuation techniques, enhance management structures, and optimize leverage restrictions. China aims to build a REITs ecosystem based on international standards, with collaboration between local and international stakeholders playing a crucial role in its development.
