Revenue for Canadian apartment lessors has gained through the end of 2025. Apartment lessors collect rental income from rental properties, so market forces largely determine their rates. The supply of apartment rentals has grown slower than demand, which has elevated rental rates for lessors' benefit. Favourable economic conditions and demographic trends during most of the period have driven growth in demand. In 2020, the spread of COVID-19 lessened demand for apartment rentals, but the nature of apartment leases prevented a dip in revenue until 2021. Revenue has climbed since 2022 as higher prices and strong demand have fuelled a robust rental market. Revenue has climbed at a CAGR of 1.7% over the past five years and will reach $67.6 billion through the end of 2025. This includes a 1.6% swell in 2025 alone. Climbing vacancies fueled by a historic increase in rental supply will limit rent growth in 2025. The urban population in Canada has continued to expand, fuelling demand for housing in recent years. The supply of apartment rental units has lagged behind demand growth, reflected in low vacancy rates across Canada. Major urban centres have had especially low vacancy rates in recent years. Disposable income has also grown despite significant economic volatility. This has given individuals more funds to cover living expenses, which has enabled lessors to raise rental rates. Despite skyrocketing rental prices, profit has declined because of rising operating costs and property taxes. Favourable macroeconomic conditions are expected to fuel demand for apartment rentals moving forward. Per capita disposable income will climb while vacancy rates remain low. Furthermore, immigration and urbanization growth will fuel rent growth in major cities, benefiting apartment rental providers. Demand will continue to outpace supply growth, prompting a revenue gain. Revenue will expand at a CAGR of 1.3% through the end of 2030, reaching $71.9 billion in 2030.

TRREB Releases 2022 Q4 Rental Market Statistics Average condominium apartment rents continued to increase by double-digit annual rates in the fourth quarter of 2022. However, while market conditions remained tight enough to support very strong rent growth, there was more balance in the rental marketplace compared to the same period a year earlier in 2021. The number of condominium apartment rental transactions reported through the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board9s (TRREB) MLS® System was down on a yearover-year basis by 19.9 per cent in the fourth quarter of 2022. The number of rental listings was also down over the same period, but by a lesser annual rate of 11.8 per cent. The fact that the number of units leased was down by more than the number of units listed suggests that would-be renters benefitted from more choice compared to a year ago. "Strong population growth based on record immigration and robust job creation across a diversity of economic sectors drove rental demand in 2022. In addition, aggressive interest rate hikes by the Bank of Canada impacted affordability for many households, prompting a shift from homeownership to rental. All of these factors will continue to support strong rental demand in 2023," said TRREB President Paul Baron. The average rent for a one-bedroom condominium apartment increased by 19 per cent to $2,503 in the fourth quarter of 2022. Over the same period, the average two-bedroom rent increased by 14.1 per cent to $3,178. "Tight rental market conditions and strong rent increases will be the norm more often than not for the foreseeable future. On one hand, we will continue to experience strong rental demand in the GTA based on solid fundamentals. On the other hand, the persistent supply shortage will continue to result in strong competition between wouldbe renters, exerting upward pressure on rents. The solution is no secret: we need to see new policies pointed on more supply to translate into shovels in the ground for many years to come," said TRREB Chief Market Analyst Jason Mercer.

The Car Rental industry has experienced volatility through the end of 2024. The industry endured a significant dip in revenue in 2020 because of COVID-19 and the associated drop in business and leisure travel within Canada. Despite this, the industry has performed well during most of the period. More travellers and increased spending on tourism before and after the pandemic have expanded industry revenue. Revenue is expected to climb at a CAGR of 0.4% to $6.3 billion through the end of 2024, including a 4.4% gain in 2024, when profit will reach 8.6%. The gain in revenue in 2024 can be mainly attributed to the ongoing domestic travel resurgence, a strengthen in inbound international travellers. During the period, the industry has continued to consolidate, leaving three dominant global brands, including Enterprise Holdings Inc. (Enterprise Holdings), Hertz Global Holdings Inc. (Hertz) and Avis Budget Group Inc. (Avis), with various degrees of solid market share. The industry has experienced several acquisitions over the past decade, including Hertz's acquisition of Dollar Thrifty, to gain market share in the leisure budget travel market. Shifting travel patterns, including a climb in demand at off-airport locations, which often have lower profit than airport rentals, have resulted in profit falling over the past five years. Increasing domestic travel, bolstered by an expanding Canadian economy, will raise demand for car rental services through the end of 2029. In addition to rising air travel, industry growth will be bolstered by growth in personal income and rebounding corporate travel budgets. Because of these trends, industry revenue is expected to climb at a CAGR of 1.5% to $6.8 billion through the end of 2029.
