State of the market
The path ahead

Investment market performance

China’s rental housing market is growing rapidly, supported by favourable demographics, rising barriers to home ownership, supportive policies, and an influx of capital.
Rapid development has lifted China’s rental housing market from its “introductory phase” and through most of its “growth phase.” The market is now set to enter a “lift off phase.”
Rental housing in mature markets is an investment-grade asset that offers clear advantages to investors. China’s rental housing investment market is still developing, but expected to get a boost.
