Description

Global Housing


Global construction of new housing is forecast to advance 2.1% per year through 2028 to 62.0 million units. Increases will be supported by:
  • expanding urbanization in the Africa/Mideast region, boosting demand for multifamily housing in urban locations
  • above average growth in India – the second largest new housing market in the world – where the middle class is experiencing robust expansion and becoming more able to acquire new homes
  • continuing efforts to boost the supply of social housing to reduce the population living in inadequate, informal homes
However, new housing construction will be constrained by:
  • a decline in new housing units in the US due to high mortgage rates and construction material costs, construction labor shortages, and relatively slow population growth
  • negligible increases in China – the world’s largest housing market – stemming from a slight decline in population and continued liquidity issues among large building developers in the short term
In 2023, countries worldwide contended with high levels of inflation and construction costs (and in some countries, high mortgage rates), which led to a slight decline in new housing activity from 2022 levels. Although such conditions are expected to moderate in many countries, housing affordability will remain a major hurdle in new housing construction.

New Multifamily Housing is Forecast to Outpace Single-Family Housing Multifamily housing construction is expected to outpace single-family housing due to its greater affordability, particularly for those in crowded urban areas who need access to public transportation. In addition, longer term trends continue to bolster demand for multifamily units, including:
  • ongoing rural-to-urban migration in developing nations such as India, Brazil, and Nigeria
  • government initiatives aimed at reducing the number of people living in inadequate housing
  • high interest rates and home prices that make single-family homes unaffordable in countries such as the US, where potential buyers typically rely on financing to back their purchases
Study Description

This Freedonia industry study analyzes the global housing industry, with construction of new housing units expected to grow 2.1% annually to 62.0 million units in 2028.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
