Real estate investment across Asia Pacific recorded a strong recovery in the first half of 2026, reaching USD 105 billion, its strongest first-half performance since 2022, according to Colliers’ Asia Pacific Capital Markets Snapshot H1 2026.
Office assets emerged as the leading investment segment, attracting USD 40.2 billion across the region. Retail and industrial assets followed with USD 26.7 billion and USD 22.8 billion, respectively, while data centres continued to gain investor attention with USD 6.7 billion in investments.
India mirrored this regional trend, with offices accounting for more than 40% of total real estate investment inflows during H1 2026. Growing demand from global capability centres and broader occupier segments has strengthened investor confidence in the office market.
Domestic investors played a particularly significant role. Capital deployment by Indian investors increased 80% year-on-year, contributing approximately 57% of total real estate inflows. Foreign investment also remained positive, rising 24% year-on-year and accounting for around 43% of inflows.
With office demand remaining resilient and office REITs gaining prominence, the segment is expected to remain a key driver of India’s real estate investment landscape. At the same time, increasing interest in mixed-use and alternative assets suggests that investors are gradually diversifying their portfolios.
