27 Nov 2024 CW Team

The proptech segment within the real estate market is projected to grow exponentially, with its market size expected to reach $600 billion by 2047, up from the current $10.5 billion, driven by a technological revolution, according to a joint report by Credai and EY. The broader real estate sector is also anticipated to surge, crossing a market size of $4.8 trillion by 2047, compared to its current value of $300 billion, contributing more than 18% to India’s projected $26 trillion GDP target by the same year. The report highlights that the current penetration of ICT and proptech-based solutions in the real estate sector stands at $10.5 billion, less than 5% of the total market size. However, by 2047, proptech is expected to grow to $600 billion, making up around 12-13% of the overall real estate market. Proptech is evolving from a supportive role to a key growth driver in the real estate sector, with innovations such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and Building Information Modelling (BIM) revolutionizing operations. These technologies are streamlining automation, improving operational efficiency, reducing costs, and enhancing margins across the real estate value chain.
