While the precise market size in 2025 is unavailable, considering a typical market size for a mature region like Europe and a CAGR of over 4%, a reasonable estimate for the 2025 market value would be in the range of €500-700 billion.

Furthermore, the ongoing expansion of technology companies and the sustained growth of major European cities are driving demand for modern office spaces in prime locations. However, the market also faces challenges.

Key drivers include a recovering economy, increasing demand from technology and financial sectors, and ongoing investment in infrastructure projects across major cities like London, Birmingham, and Manchester.

The concentration of businesses in these cities, combined with their robust infrastructure and accessibility, contributes to their strong performance.
