The house price to rent ratio in Ireland has been on a downward trend since 2022, and in the third quarter of 2023, it reached the lowest value recorded since 2017.

An increase in the index value shows that house prices have risen faster than rents, while a decline suggests that rental growth has outpaced house prices appreciation.

Amsterdam is set to maintain its position as Europe's most expensive city for apartment rentals in 2025, with median costs reaching 2,500 euros per month for a furnished one-bedroom unit. This figure is double the rent in Prague and significantly higher than other major European capitals like Paris, Berlin, and Madrid. The stark difference in rental costs across European cities reflects broader economic trends, housing policies, and the complex interplay between supply and demand in urban centers. Factors driving rental costs across Europe The disparity in rental prices across European cities can be attributed to various factors. In countries like Switzerland, Germany, and Austria, a higher proportion of the population lives in rental housing. This trend contributes to increased demand and potentially higher living costs in these nations. Conversely, many Eastern and Southern European countries have homeownership rates exceeding 90 percent, which may help keep rental prices lower in those regions. Housing affordability and market dynamics The relationship between housing prices and rental rates varies significantly across Europe. As of 2024, countries like Turkey, Iceland, Portugal, and Hungary had the highest house price to rent ratio indices. This indicates a widening gap between property values and rental costs since 2015. The affordability of homeownership versus renting differs greatly among European nations, with some countries experiencing rapid increases in property values that outpace rental growth. These market dynamics influence rental costs and contribute to the diverse rental landscape observed across European cities.

Over the five years through 2025, Ireland’s Restaurant and Takeaways industry’s revenue is expected to expand at a compound annual rate of 14.6%. It's no secret the food industry has struggled in recent years, with COVID-19 lockdown restrictions causing operational costs to become unmanageable, pushing many restaurants out of business. Following the pandemic, restaurants and takeaways faced rampant inflation, rising food prices and inventory bills. As consumers grapple with eroding incomes, passing on price hikes isn't the best idea. Unfavourable economic conditions have compelled industry establishments to reassess their operating models. By implementing cost-cutting strategies to reduce inefficiencies, restaurants and takeaway establishments can minimise price hikes for customers. Those who fail to adapt risk experiencing significant drops in profitability and may be forced to exit the market. In 2025, revenue is anticipated to inch upwards by 5.6% to reach €6.5 billion. Online food ordering and delivery platforms like Deliveroo offer a lifeline to restaurants, expanding their reach without the cost of in-house delivery networks. This trend has grown alongside the increasing prevalence of remote and hybrid working patterns, as workers increasingly rely on food delivery apps for the convenience and ease of obtaining meals with just a touch of a button. Meanwhile, ever-growing health and environmental awareness among Irish consumers means restaurants are increasingly adding healthy, vegetarian and vegan options, with gluten-free options gaining popularity. Restaurants that tap into customer data and cater to evolving trends and tastes are seeing strong sales prospects. Restaurant and Takeaway revenue is forecast to climb at a compound annual rate of 4.6% over the five years through 2030 to €8.2 billion. In the short term, confidence in Ireland’s hospitality sector will remain low, which is anticipated to lead to redundancies due to VAT hikes, wage inflation and weak consumer spending. Restaurants and Takeaways must adapt to survive. Strategies include revising menus, using cost-effective ingredients, offering promotions and being transparent about costs to avoid deterring customers. Diners’ increasing focus on health and global cuisines also drives menu changes. Marketing and promotions are crucial as social media can turn local spots into viral sensations. Diners seek experiences beyond food quality, with food festivals offering unique opportunities to explore new cuisines and engage with top chefs.
