PropTech Firms Attract $4.6 Billion Investment Over 14 Years: Report

The PropTech sector in India has demonstrated significant resilience and growth from FY 2011 to FY 2024, amassing a total of $4.6 billion in investments. This growth, marked by a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 40%, highlights the transformative impact of technology on the real estate industry. The findings are detailed in the Annual PE Investment Round-Up report by Housing.com.

Despite global economic challenges, the PropTech sector saw a modest dip in funding in FY 2024, with investments totaling $657 million, a slight decline from $683 million in FY 2023. This figure is 90% of the record $730 million investment received in FY 2022.

In FY 2024, the Shared Economy and Construction Technology segments dominated the PropTech space, securing 55% and 23% of overall private investments, respectively. These segments continue to attract significant interest and investment, reflecting their crucial role in the evolution of the real estate industry.

Dhruv Agarwala, Group CEO of Housing.com and PropTiger.com, commented on the sector’s performance: “In the face of global uncertainties and a general downturn in fundraising across sectors during the last couple of years, the PropTech sector has shown remarkable resilience. Since FY 2011, it has sustained an impressive CAGR of 40%. In FY 2024, it achieved its highest-ever average deal size of $27 million, reflecting robust investor confidence in the digital real estate space. Over the past decade, and particularly in the last three years, the real estate sector has significantly advanced in embracing innovative technologies. This positive momentum is expected to continue, driving further advancements and efficiencies in the real estate market.”

The report also highlighted that PropTech companies specializing in construction technology solutions received 23% of the total funding in FY 2024. This trend underscores the real estate developers’ increasing focus on reducing construction times while maintaining high-quality standards. In India, where prolonged construction cycles drive up project costs, PropTech solutions are being increasingly adopted for efficient project management. Additionally, the coworking segment has experienced rapid expansion over the past three years, driven by the growing demand for flexible workspace solutions from corporations.

Ankita Sood, Head of Research at PropTiger.com and Housing.com, noted, “The rise of PropTech is rewriting the industry’s narrative in India’s traditional real estate sector. While real estate assets have seen modest growth, with a 2% CAGR (FY 2011-24), the remarkable 40% growth of PropTech not only reflects investor confidence but also highlights its disruptive potential and scalability. Cumulative investments in PropTech have reached $4.6 billion, with 68% of this influx occurring after 2020, driven by the pandemic-induced digital acceleration. Segments such as Shared Economy, Construction Technology, and Sales and Marketing continue to dominate the PropTech space.”

She added, “As the industry continues to navigate the digital frontier, the convergence of technology and real estate promises a future marked by unprecedented opportunity and evolution. Not merely a passing trend, it’s a fundamental restructuring of an industry long overdue for innovation.”
