Report Summary: : Property Investors Set to Benefit as Capital Flows from East to West Likely to Continue in 2015: Urbanisation, Demographics, Technology among Megatrends Affecting Industry

The movement of capital from East to West is likely to remain the major influence on real estate markets, according to the Global Emerging Trends in Real Estate® 2015 report. The report, based on the views of senior global property investors, identifies several “megatrends” affecting markets around the world, each of which has implications for development and investment: increasing urbanisation (the majority of the world’s population now lives in urban areas); demographic and social changes (including a significant rise in the number of older and elderly people); technology advancements; the rise of economic power in emerging markets (due largely to an expanding middle class); and climate change.
