2013-01-08 16:42:18 - New Business research report from Business Monitor International is now available from Fast Market Research

The Germany Real Estate report examines the commercial office, retail, industrial and construction segments throughout the country, in the context of Germany's central role in managing the ongoing eurozone debt crisis.

With a data focus on the principal cities of Berlin, Frankfurt, Dusseldorf and Munich, the report covers the rental market performance in terms of rates and yields over the past 18 months, and examines how best to maximise returns in the commercial real estate market, while minimising investment risk and exploring the impact of a high level of risk. Germany's economy is showing increasing signs that it is not immune to the rapidly escalating eurozone debt crisis, as falling business confidence and declining manufacturing orders affect the outlook for investment.

The

economic situations in all the cities we cover are looking fairly strong (given the wider context). Business sentiment is sturdy, employment slightly improving year-on-year (y-o-y) and the consumer appears to be relatively resilient. This was reflected in the real estate market, which in 2011 continued to perform robustly, with falling vacancy levels and rising rents defying the wider malaise in the national economy. Our latest data collection and in country interviews, conducted in July of 2012, show that broader economic troubles are taking their toll on the commercial real estate market. The first six months of the year, especially in terms of annualised performance, has shown significant weakness across all of the sub sectors that we survey with only around 20% of indicators generating any form of growth, with the retail market the only one to comparatively keep its head above water.

Key Points

? Compared with its European peers Germany's construction industry looks strong, but the eurozone crisis still threatens confidence in the sector. Construction industry value is expected to reach US$132.4bn for 2012, y-o-y growth of just 1.4%. A period of low growth is expected to continue throughout our 10-year forecast period, with annual average growth of 0.84% anticipated between 2012 and 2021, with industry value due to reach US$160.2bn by the end of this period. ? Germany's economic outlook remains clouded by the continued risk of a eurozone breakup scenario, which would lead to an immediate collapse in fixed investment and hit external demand for German exports very hard. Even with this scenario remaining outside of our baseline view, uncertainty over the ongoing eurozone crisis will keep business and consumer confidence levels subdued, thus hurting investment. Moreover, the crisis adds to the urgency for eurozone governments to remain focused on fiscal austerity, which will keep Germany's primary export markets on a weak growth trajectory for several years to come. ? New figures from the European Commission highlight a drastic fall in EU construction production in April 2012, reflecting increasing austerity cuts and a slump in private investment as the eurozone crisis fails to abate. The figures support our muted growth outlook for the European construction industry and highlight a number of trends which continue to weigh on the sector.
