Funding in proptech firms declined marginally 4 per cent last fiscal to USD 657 million, reflecting resilience despite global economic uncertainties, according to Housing.Com. In its report, Housing.Com, one of the leading real estate listing platforms, highlighted that proptech firms have garnered a total of USD 4.6 billion between 2010-11 and 2023-24 financial years, growing at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 40 per cent.
Dhruv Agarwala, Group CEO of Housing.Com and PropTiger.Com, said, "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 2010-11, he noted that the investment in proptech firms has sustained an impressive CAGR of 40 per cent.
In 2023-24, Agarwala said average deal size reached a record USD 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," Agarwala said.
Despite global economic uncertainties, Housing.Com said that funding in Proptech firms experienced only a slight dip in 2023-24 with investments totalling USD 657 million, down from USD 683 million in 2022-23.
This figure represents 90 per cent of the record high of USD 730 million investment received by the proptech sector in 2021-22. The shared economy (coworking and and coliving segments), construction technology segments have emerged as leaders in the proptech space, capturing 55 per cent and 23 per cent of the overall private investments in 2023-24, respectively. These segments continue to attract substantial interest and investment, reflecting their pivotal role in shaping the future of real estate, Housing.Com said.
HDFC Capital-backed proptech firm Reloy founder and CEO Akhil Saraf said the use of technologies has increased significantly over the past few years, generating investors' interest in putting money in real estate startups.
Abhishek Tripathi, Co-founder of coliving firm Settl, said, "The real estate sector in India is experiencing a remarkable phase, with demand for quality living spaces increasing significantly. This surge is expected to continue, fueled by technological disruptions and digital transformations." Proptech startups make up for less than 5 per cent of the total recognised startups in the country while the real estate sector contributes approximately 7-8 per cent to the country's GDP, he said.
"We believe the sector will attract substantial investment, including in the startup segment," Tripathi said.
