The electric vehicle (EV) market in Asia Pacific has grown significantly over the past two years, with the region accounting for nearly two-thirds of global EV sales in 2022.
As EV adoption continues to gather pace, demand for public charging infrastructure in Asia is also rapidly increasing, primarily due to the prevalence of apartments where the installation of private chargers is subject to regulatory restrictions and administrative barriers.
The growing number of EVs in Asia Pacific will require a significant increase in charging facilities. CBRE estimates the number of public charging points across the region will rise from around 2 million in 2022 to around 10 million by 2030.
All of these converging trends present a significant opportunity for real estate owners and investors to gain access to or expand their presence in the EV public charging infrastructure market.

As we previously showed for cities worldwide, these risks were not equally distributed within each city.
Once again, location and topography were decisive factors behind the impact of physical climate change, reinforcing the idea that investors may wish to consider climate risk at the individual asset level, rather than relying solely on market-level data.

According to the World Economic Forum, 80% of the buildings today will exist in 2050. The built environment is responsible for about 40% of global CO2 emissions. Retrofitting is the least capital-intensive way to make our existing buildings smarter and more efficient in order to reduce carbon emissions. It is also an effective and efficient way to drive financial outcomes capital and operational changes within the current parameters of a building’s design.

The recovery continues to be largely driven by domestic demand, although the return of mainland Chinese tourists at the beginning of 2023 has started to trickle into neighbouring markets with greater velocity in the past quarter.
The strong performance of hotels over the past 12 months relative to other asset classes, combined with the cyclical recovery and the nature of inflation hedging, is ensuring that investor appetite for operational real estate, such as hotels, continues to strengthen. Assets in tier I countries (Australia, Japan and Singapore) alongside resort markets are performing especially well.
