Boom continues in smaller cities in India, China

World’s two fastest growing economies China and India will continue to witness boom in the real estate segments in smaller cities as both countries are expected to record strong growth in residential demand in the coming years, says a report. Further, investments volume in the two neighboring nations is projected to go up in the next few years. According to a report prepared by the research group of Germany’s Deutsche Bank, the long-term growth prospects for both countries “remain very good.” An important growth driver for the real estate market would be the increasing urban population in both countries. According to the report, another growth driver for both countries would be the rising population of working age. The working age population in India is projected to be on the upward curve in the coming years and would be above 65 per cent by 2050. Globalisation has helped the emerging economic giants to post double digit growth in recent years. Both countries have immensely benefited from increased trade and capital imports.
