It outlines investment trends by region and sector, as well as the underlying structural themes.
## APAC Investment Market Enters Broad Recovery Phase
The total real estate investment in APAC for 2025 recorded $162 billion USD, an 8% increase year-over-year. In particular, investment in the second half of the year reached $87.3 billion USD (an 11% increase YoY), confirming that market momentum strengthened further towards the end of the year. South Korea, Japan, and Singapore drove investments, while Singapore and India showed high growth rates.
## Offices Take Largest Investment Share, Alternatives See High Growth
By sector, offices accounted for 36% of total investment, continuing to be the core asset class in APAC. On the other hand, the alternative sector recorded the highest growth rate at 191% year-over-year, reflecting the growing need for diversified investments by institutional investors. Retail property investments are also on a recovery trend, with investment momentum accelerating backed by an improvement in consumer sentiment.
## Domestic Capital Supports the Market, Cross-Border Investment Remains Stable
In 2025, domestic investors continued to be the primary players in APAC real estate investment, bringing stability to the market. Meanwhile, as price adjustments progress, cross-border investment has maintained healthy levels in gateway markets such as Singapore, Hong Kong, and India, demonstrating a recovery in investor confidence.
## 2026 Outlook: Towards a Gradual and Broad-Based Recovery
In 2026, investment sentiment is expected to further improve across APAC, driven by stabilized interest rates and inflation, an improved financing environment, and the recovery of global fundraising. While domestic capital is expected to remain the core of investment, a gradual recovery in offshore investment is also anticipated, and transaction activities are projected to steadily recover across a wide range of sectors, including core and alternatives.
