The ongoing trend of urbanization is expected to fuel the expansion of the residential land planning and development market. Urbanization denotes the process of cities growing and expanding, often accompanied by population migration from rural to urban areas. Residential land planning and development provide the necessary housing solutions to accommodate the growing urban population, contributing to urbanization by creating living spaces within cities.

During the forecast period, it is anticipated that interest rates will rise in both developing and developed economies, potentially limiting new investments in capital-intensive industries like the residential land planning and development market. Many countries worldwide are increasing interest rates to curb inflation and prevent capital outflows. This is likely to impact new investments related to expansion, research, and the development of new products. In the United States, for instance, interest rates are expected to climb up to 4% by 2022. Moreover, higher interest rates may significantly affect both residential and non-residential housing construction. Elevated mortgage rates not only discourage new homebuyers but also put financial pressure on existing homeowners, compelling some to sell their properties. In 2021, the average mortgage rate in the US was approximately 3.1%. These factors are projected to exert a negative influence on the market, as the cost of borrowing increases, potentially hindering market growth.
