Year in Review: Top 10 Asia Pacific Real Estate Market Research Reports of 2025
December 11, 2025
2025 has been another challenging year for real estate investors and occupiers as geopolitical and trade policy uncertainty weighed on regional economic and business sentiment.
That being said, the start of the much-anticipated interest rate cut cycle in September has improved investor sentiment as the year draws to a close, and should continue to spur investment activity across the region in 2026.
Meanwhile, workplace and work patterns continued to change this year, and office occupiers in Asia Pacific have accelerated the return to office for their employees, and are prioritising workplace experience and optimisation to drive performance and efficiency.
In the logistics space, despite the uncertain global trade environment, many logistics occupiers are looking beyond short-term market volatility and positioning themselves for long-term expansion.
CBRE’s Asia Pacific Research team has compiled the Top 10 Real Estate Research Reports of 2025, which explores the major real estate industry trends and opportunities observed in the region this year, and provides data-led insights into what’s in store for 2026.
