While Proptech Market Expands, Shakeout Begins among Companies

The proptech market is brisk as the number of businesses newly entering the market is ever increasing in the expanding market. Many businesses tend to concentrate their operation resources in the realm that they specialize in, thereby to strengthen their positions. In the situation where proptech is spreading, shakeouts have begun, as some businesses have successfully established their superiorities through what they specialize in, while other businesses have failed to take full advantage and have been difficult to differentiate from others.

Future Outlook

The proptech market size is expected to expand to 2,378,000 million yen by FY2030, 2.5 times larger than FY2022. Of the total market, B2C sector is projected to achieve 1,860,000 million yen by FY2030, 2.6 times larger than that in FY2022. Against a backdrop of an increase in the number of housing stocks and expansion of the used residence market, the favorable property matching service is likely to contribute to expand the market size for B2C sector.

B2B sector also shows prosperity, being projected to achieve 518,000 million yen by FY2030, 2.3 times larger than that in FY2022. Driven by the electronification policy by the government in the real estate industry where digital transformation has said to have been lagged from other industries, enhancement of real estate brokerage, management work support, and price assessment support services is likely to contribute to expansion of the B2B sector.
