The global real estate industry, like every other real estate industry, is highly fragmented with many individual landlords that invest in property, small companies, and large multinational real estate developers and property investors that operate at scale. Competition exists among those companies operating at scale in this industry. There are two types of industry players: real estate developers that also rent or lease their developments (build to-rent model), and investors, usually large real estate investment firms, that buy developments from real estate developers.

• Market value forecast: In 2025, the global real estate market is forecast to have a value of $4,815.2 billion, an increase of 13.5% since 2020. The compound annual growth rate of the market in the period 2020–25 is predicted to be 2.6%
• New entrants: Entry into this industry requires substantial capital in order to buy and maintain the property. Such capital can often be raised through means such as business loans or mortgage loans. However, the economic crisis has led to more stringent credit requirements and regulations, making the raising of necessary capital more difficult
• Threat of substitutes: The price to rent ratio which is the average property price within a market divided by the average yearly rent is indicative of the cost-relationship trend between the two options across time. In the most developed countries, the price to rent ratio increased significantly overall in 2015-20, according to OECD data, indicating that the cost of renting has increased more than the cost of purchasing a property in that period
