China's home property market to witness 3.4% growth through 2028

It already rose 16.8% YoY in April 2019.

China’s residential property market is forecasted to grow at an average 3.4% over the next ten years through 2028 as the government seeks further real estate investments to cushion the impact of ongoing US-China trade disputes, Fitch Solutions revealed in a report.

Already, its YoY change came in at 16.8% in April 2019, more than six pp higher than what was observed in real estate development investment two years ago. Due to the government’s plans, Fitch Solutions’ growth forecasts for China’s residential buildings sector was adjusted to 4.4% and 4.5% in 2019 and 2020 respectively, up from 4.1% and 3.9%.

The country’s construction market is also forecasted to expand 6.2% by 2020.

Over the longer term, an already saturated market and a projected decrease in population may likely result in further slowdown in growth in residential building.

A de-escalation of trade disputes and an overheating property market would likely result in policy reversals. Credit tightening measures could be implemented, increasing mortgage rates and decreasing demand for residential property.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
