Indian Real Estate Industry Overview

Real estate sector in general and housing sector in particular has always played a critical role in shaping the global economies. The multiplier effect of housing sector through direct and indirect as well as through induced impact is significantly large on both the GDP as well as employment generation. There are a number of ancillary industries which support the growth of real estate construction sector, like cement, steel, other non-ferrous metals, tiles, glass, brick, and certain consumer durables etc. Further, the industries that provide the inputs to these ancillary industries also gain momentum. Hence, due to the inter-linkages among all the sectors of economy, the overall economic impact of a real estate far exceeds the direct impact especially in employment generation. India by virtue of its demography and development cycle is at a place where demand for quality urban housing is immense.

This is only going to strengthen with each passing year as India graduates from being a low-income economy to a middle-income economy. As per industry estimates, India would see creation of 100 million new households who will become ‘home ownership capable by virtue of rise in income levels by the end of the decade. This creates a ‘once in a lifetime opportunity for the Indian real estate industry. Due to the structural nature of demand, Indian real estate industry has continued to gain momentum during FY23 despite the uncertainties posed by global economic slowdown as well as steep interest rate hikes. While the market for office spaces staged a comeback in the post-pandemic period with ‘back to office normalization, the residential market further gained on the momentum seen in FY22. Despite the 250-bps repo rate hike, the robust performance of the sector especially in the housing segment signifies the strength of the underlying demand for property.

Indian Housing Market overview

Indian housing market went from strength to strength surpassing previous peaks seen during the last year. As per property research firm, Anarock Research, housing sales in 2022 grew by more than 50% YoY to 3,65,000 units, surpassing the previous peak seen in 2014 at 3,40,000 units. What is heartening to note is that this happened in a year when there was still some residual impact of the pandemic in the beginning of the year and mortgage rates went up sharply by more than 200 bps. This reinforces the view that housing demand in India is structural in nature. Sales once again exceeded launches in the top 7 cities making the available inventory at the lowest level since 2014. Launches for the year in the top 7 cities stood at around 3,60,000 units. Rising sales coupled with falling inventory has brought the inventory levels down to 21 months in Q42023 from 32 months in Q4 2014.

The supply side consolidation in the industry continues to strengthen which augers well for all the participants – consumers, reputed developers as well as financial institutions. The disciplined supply has meant moderately rising capital values of homes. As per various industry reports, residential prices have increased by around 5-7% across various geographies. This positive nominal price growth has kick started the virtuous price demand cycle where, while the nominal increases have incentivized end user demand to go up but price growth being below the wage growth has continued to keep the affordability intact.

The importance of the ‘brand in real estate has continued its upward journey. Housing is increasingly becoming a branded ‘consumer product. A strong housing brand in consumers minds stands for superior product quality, avenue for life style upgrade, an aspirational address and above all certainty of timely delivery. The above can only be delivered by branded tier 1 developers, leading to the demand side consolidation. Branded tier-1 developers with strong execution capability are expected to leverage this opportunity to gain even more market share by bringing newer products suitable for the demand dynamics whilst offering quality, and a sustainable environment as well as social ecosystem.

Opportunities

India has strong structural drivers in place for housing demand and it is at an early stage of a multi-year upcycle. Impact of cyclical factors such as interest rates etc. will be felt from time to time, however the structural nature of demand will overpower them to a large degree similar to the way industry has performed this year in spite of the steep mortgage rate hikes.
