Preview

Our analysis of the professionally managed real-estate universe provides a deeper understanding of the relative size of property markets around the world in 2024.

For the first time, this annual report also breaks out the universe by listed and unlisted investments, by vehicle type, fund type and investment style, for greater clarity on the composition of the global market.

We report the sizes and relative rankings of 38 markets and, for the first time, include India in the analysis. We also break out the property-type composition of the global market and of the three global zones (Americas, EMEA, APAC), comparing 2024 to 2023 to highlight the shifts in property-sector dominance.
