RESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE
Phases of growth:
Phase I (2001-2005): Initial growth phase with off
take and prices picking up
Phase II (2006-2008): High growth phase with high
demand and prices more than double
Phase III (2009-2010): Substantial slowdown in
demand due to dented affordability and economic
environment
Phase IV (2011-2014): Consolidation phase, with
demand, supply and prices gradually moving up in
line with improvement in economic environment
This segment is highly influenced by economic
cycles. Owing to global meltdown, the residential
real estate market in India too witnessed an
astounding fall in demand and capital values,
between first half of 2008 and first half of 2009.
Average residential capital values declined by 18-
20 per cent in March 2009 from the peaks
witnessed during the first half of 2008.
Recently there has been a pickup in demand due
improvements in economy
COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE
The commercial real estate has been driven largely by the growth in service sectors, especially IT/ITeSand with this began movement from CBD’s (Central Business Districts) towards city suburbs.
Tax sops on the profits of IT-ITeS companies also led to massive development of IT Parks and SEZs (Special Economic Zones)
Demand for office space is directly linked to addition in number of employees, which in turn is dependent on economic growth. When economy slows down, companies hold their expansion plans leading to lower demand for office space.
Due to the Subprime crisis and the ongoing
Eurozone crisis, the demand for commercial space
has come down drastically. Subdued demand and
rentals has impacted the execution adversely in
addition to cancellation of many projects.
Sustained decline in this segment past 2008 has
been the result of postponement of expansion plans
by corporate.
ORGANIZED RETAIL REAL ESTATE
The retail industry in India is in slowdown despite
attaining peaks of CAGR at 28% in the 2005-08
period. The industry is expected to increase at a
CAGR of 14% in the short term and 19% over the
next 5 years.
Organised retail penetration has grown to about
5.6% in 2009-10, which is further expected to
increase to about 7.3% by 2012-13.
Key driving factors for growth of this sector includes
lavish lifestyles, high disposable incomes and a
propensity to spend.
2007-08 2009-2010 2012-2013
Total Retail Rs.15.5 trillion Rs.19.7 trillion Rs.27.9 trillion
Organized Retail Rs.0.9 trillion Rs.1.1 trillion Rs.2.0 trillion

per cent while room availability is expected to

GLOBAL TRENDS
As per a report published by Scotiabank dated
September 14, 2012:
Among the international property markets tracked,
the number of countries reporting declining average
real prices on a year-over-year basis outnumbered
those reporting price increases by more than two to
one.
Weak consumer confidence, high unemployment
and tight credit conditions continue to weigh heavily
on housing demand and pricing.
Housing markets remain weakest in Europe, where
sharp fiscal austerity, rising unemployment and
financial sector strains are deepening recessionary
conditions.
In European countries that are financially sound,
there were some tentative signs of improvement.
The U.S. housing market is showing increasing
signs of recovery.
U.S. homeowner affordability, rising rental costs
and strengthening household formation are
contributing to the pickup in sales. Lower inventory
levels and a falling share of distressed property
sales also have contributed to the stabilization in
prices, though significant differences in local market
conditions persist.
An increasing number of cities in China are seeing
renewed home price appreciation. This is being
supported by an easing in monetary conditions .
APPLICATION OF PORTER’S 5
FORCES MODEL TO INDIAN REAL
ESTATE
The analysis of 5 Forces model has been done to
determine whether the Indian Real Estate sector will
remain profitable in the years to come
It is important to consider the impact of the
Eurozone Crisis as well as the Subprime Crisis
THREAT OF NEW ENTRANTS
There will be decrease in profitability due to
increase in the number of entrants.
As a result of the economic downturn around the
globe, it has been difficult for the new entrants to
get a hold because of cost reduction in expansion
plans by corporates in real estate, little scope in
commercial construction, and strong rivalry
between existing firms.
Result: Relatively weak threat of new entrants
BARGAINING POWER OF BUYERS
Powerful customers are able to exert pressure to
drive down prices, or increase the required quality
for the same price, and therefore reduce profits in
an industry.
Customers significantly influence the business
operations in real estate.
Customers do possess a threat of integrating
backwards.
Consequently, the bargaining power of the buyers
is strong.
BARGAINING POWER OF SUPPLIERS
An important category of suppliers is the bank.
They have the power to decide whether to fund a
venture or not and at what rate.
Banks have now become highly conservative
especially after the economic downturn.
Are significantly affected by the monetary
regulations like the Repo rate & CRR formulated by
the Central Bank of the country. This is in turn
affects the real estate sector.
Consequently the bargaining power of suppliers is
very strong
THREAT OF SUBSTITUTE
PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
In real estate business, substitute might be some
type of totally new retail space, some new location
for office space or rehabilitation instead of new
construction.
The threat of substitute in real estate business and
its impact on profitability of the industry is quite
ambiguous and difficult to establish given the
economic downturns and the recovery mode of the
real estate business cycle.
RIVALRY AMONG EXISTING
COMPETITORS
Rivalry is strong due to the large no. of real estate
firms operating in India (65 in total) and the difficulty
to differentiate
The services offered by real estate companies
cannot be differentiated because these firms don’t
offer a product, other than the facilities they lease
and this itself is very difficult to quantify.
In the current economic crisis, there is minimal
profitability and only companies with large cash
reserves are likely to survive.
ANALYSIS
Considering all the 5 forces, it can be said that the
real estate industry is not very profitable at this
stage as it was before the subprime crisis of US in
2008
But considering the fact that the real estate cycle is
in the recovery stage right now and given that the
demand for real estate is growing at a CAGR of
19%, it can be said that there are still bright
prospects ahead in a country like India.
