Abstract | Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) have emerged as a significant financial instrument, offering investors exposure to real estate markets without direct ownership. Since their inception in the United States in 1960, REITs have expanded globally, with over 40 countries adopting this model. This paper provides a comparative analysis of REIT markets across developed and emerging economies, examining key trends, challenges, and opportunities. The study highlights the dominance of the U.S., Australia, and Europe in REIT market capitalization while recognizing the rapid growth in Asia-Pacific, particularly India. Key factors driving REIT expansion include economic growth, urbanization, technological advancements, and favorable regulatory frameworks. Additionally, the study explores the role of AI and fintech in enhancing investment strategies and market efficiency. Despite their advantages—such as liquidity, portfolio diversification, and inflation resistance—REITs face challenges, including regulatory complexities, taxation burdens, and macroeconomic volatility. The paper also discusses the growing importance of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors, leading to the rise of Green REITs. As global real estate markets evolve, REITs are poised for further expansion, particularly in emerging economies. The findings underscore the need for policy reforms, investor education, and technological integration to enhance the efficiency and accessibility of REIT investments worldwide. |
