India Poised to Overtake China as Asia's Real Estate Capital
Real Estate:India is on its way to becoming the real estate capital of Asia, with a market value of $36 billion in 2024, surpassing China in terms of growth rate, according to the 2024 GROHE-Hurun India Real Estate 100 report. The country's young population, increasing urbanization, and growing middle class are driving the sector's growth. Additionally, the implementation of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act (RERA) has enhanced transparency and accountability, boosting investor confidence.

In contrast, China's real estate market is facing significant headwinds due to government clampdowns and demand slowdown.
