Europe REIT Market Analysis
Europe REIT Industry has generated a revenue of USD 510 Billion in the current year and is poised to achieve a CAGR of 15% for the forecast period.
REITs are companies that own (and often operate) income-producing real estate, such as apartments, warehouses, self-storage facilities, malls, and hotels. Their appeal is simple: The most reliable REITS have a track record for paying large and growing dividends. Still, that potential for growth carries risks that vary depending on the type of REIT. European Public Real Estate Association (EPRA), as a partner of the Real Estate Equity Securitization Alliance (REESA), plays a key role in the continued growth of the REIT approach to real estate investment across the region.
The pandemic has driven many unwarranted bad results across economies and the REITs industry in Europe is no exception. Also when the markets are low, a good estimation can create abnormal results. IPOs have been subdued over the past 12 months and this is partly due to global political and economic uncertainties such as Brexit. Continued growth in the European listed real estate with M&As and the rise of the alternatives sector remain to be the important drivers of the REITs industry.
