Rising retail and office spaces in countries such as India to boost the Asia-Pacific commercial construction sector
- In 2022, Asia-Pacific witnessed a 3.23% decline in its commercial new floor area compared to the previous year. This setback was attributed to factors such as regulatory pressures, higher inflation, and a surge in mortgage rates.

This decline was primarily due to widespread government lockdowns, which disrupted project work and severely impacted supply chains, equipment, and labor. However, as restrictions eased, the region witnessed a remarkable rebound, with its commercial new floor area surging by 20.98% in 2021, reaching a volume of approximately 526 million sq. ft.
- Asia-Pacific's commercial new floor area is projected to witness substantial growth, with an estimated increase of 1.41 billion sq. ft by 2030 compared to 2023. This surge is fueled by a rising demand for shopping malls, office spaces, retail outlets, and more.
