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 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.

Personal and household goods rental and leasing revenue is forecast to contract at a compound annual rate of 0.2% over the five years through 2025 to €23.8 billion, including an estimated hike of 1.1% in 2025. As technology and appliances become more affordable, consumers and businesses increasingly prefer owning rather than renting. The trend against rentals is robust in countries like Poland and Italy, which have the lowest EU prices on home appliances and electronics. However, the rental market remains viable for short-term needs such as those of international students, accounting for a significant portion of rentals in countries like France and Spain. Buy-now-pay-later is driving a shift from renting to buying, especially among younger shoppers who like interest-free payments at checkout. Retailers now partner with providers like Klarna and Afterpay, which puts pressure on rental companies. In response, renting companies offer options such as rent-to-buy and rent-to-own. Some, like Grover, use flexible rental terms to appeal to wider groups. Rentals that adapt could defend revenue, but competition will increase. While the profitability of the rental industry has suffered due to lower electronics prices and increased sourcing from low-cost countries, rental companies have sustained their profit through multiple rentals over the lifespan of their equipment. Revenue is forecast to expand at a compound annual rate of 3.2% over the five years through 2030 to €27.8 billion. Major electronic retailers are cutting prices to boost competitiveness, threatening income. With strong economic conditions expected in Germany and France, consumers will likely enjoy higher disposable incomes and spend more on goods. This increase in purchasing power should drive up sales of electronic items, making these appliances more accessible to a wider range of people and boosting growth in the rental sector. Still, sustainability is driving demand for rental companies that focus on eco-friendly products and efficient processes. European consumers increasingly choose goods that last longer, are easy to repair and have less environmental impact. Rental companies are extending product lifespans by refurbishing items, while regional logistics hubs cut transport emissions and costs. These changes help reduce waste and carbon emissions, and support steady revenue growth as sustainability becomes a key priority in the market.

Portugal, Hungary, and Mexico were the countries with the highest house price-to-rent-ratio in the ranking in the second quarter of 2025. In all three countries, the ratio exceeded 160 index points, meaning that house price growth had outpaced rents by over 60 percent between 2015 and 2025. What does the house-price-to-rent ratio show? The house-price-to-rent-ratio measures the evolution of house prices compared to rents. It is generally calculated by dividing the median house price by the median annual rent. In this statistic, the values have been normalized with 100 equaling the 2015 ratio. Consequentially, a value under 100 means that rental rates have risen more than house prices. When all OECD countries are considered as a whole, the gap between house prices and rents was wider than in the Euro area. Measures of housing affordability The national house-price-to-rent ratio may not fully reflect the cost of housing in a particular country, as it does not capture the price variations that can exist between different regions. It also does not take into consideration the relationship between incomes and housing costs, which is measured by the house-price-to-income and household-rent-to-income ratios. Taking both these factors into account uncovers vast differences in housing affordability between different regions and different professions.
