France, the UK, and Germany are among the countries in Europe with the highest percentage of students engaged in the tertiary level of education and are major contributors to the demand for student accommodation. Upper Secondary and Bachelor's or equivalent exist among the largest shares of educational levels attained by adults in the majority of European countries during 2021. This leads to a majority of the student accommodation market in Europe having higher education level students as a major component of their business and contributing to the growth of the student accommodation market in Europe.

With the advent of COVID-19, almost all the educational institutions in Europe shifted from classroom to online education. With this, students were able to study from home, which resulted in a decline in demand for student accommodation during 2020-21. The United Kingdom, with the advent of COVID-19, observed an increase in the share of adults in education from a level of 41% in 2019 to 44% in 2021, leading to the formation of expectations among student accommodation providers for positive growth in the market with the reopening of colleges and COVID-19 recovery.

As the global economy and day-to-day activities recover from the effects of COVID-19, more school campuses are opening their doors to students. This makes it easier for both American and international students to move around and makes it more important for them to have a place to stay. With this, real estate and accommodation providers are seeking to recover the student housing market and reap the upcoming benefits.

Europe Student Accommodation Industry Overview
