The Global IT in Real Estate Market was valued at approximately USD 22.86 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 10.15% during the forecast period 2025-2035. IT solutions in the real estate sector have become the backbone of modern property management, sales, and construction ecosystems. They include software and platforms that streamline operations, enhance communication, and enable data-driven decisions across property management, valuation, and marketing activities. The exponential rise in digital adoption, coupled with the increasing complexity of real estate transactions, is driving demand for integrated IT platforms. Additionally, the growing reliance on cloud-based applications, automation tools, and predictive analytics is shaping how real estate professionals manage portfolios, engage clients, and maximize asset value.
The surge in urbanization and globalization has amplified the need for agile and scalable IT solutions in real estate. Large-scale construction projects, coupled with the expansion of smart cities and residential housing demand, are fueling market momentum. Cloud-based deployment has emerged as a catalyst, enabling seamless collaboration among developers, brokers, and investors while providing secure, scalable access to data. For instance, real estate firms increasingly leverage AI-driven property valuation and virtual tour platforms to attract buyers and reduce transaction times. However, while the demand curve continues to steepen, challenges such as cybersecurity threats, high upfront costs of technology integration, and regulatory complexities surrounding property data are expected to temper growth over the forecast period.
