The upward trajectory of urbanization is poised to drive the growth of the houses and housing estate developments market in the future. Urbanization, characterized by the migration of people from rural to urban areas in pursuit of better economic opportunities, improved social amenities, and enhanced quality of life, is fostering substantial demand for infrastructure development, particularly in real estate. This surge in urbanization is a key factor propelling the expansion of the houses and housing estate developments market. According to The World Bank's October 2022 report, around 4.4 billion people, constituting 56% of the global population, currently reside in cities. The forecast indicates an increase of 1.2 million km² in urban built-up area by 2030, driven by urban land consumption growing up to 50% faster than population growth. Hence, the anticipated rise in urbanization is expected to be a driving force for the houses and housing estate developments market.

The growth of the housing estate developments market is set to be accelerated by the increase in infrastructure expenditure by governments during the forecast period. Government infrastructure expenditure involves allocating and spending funds on the development, maintenance, and enhancement of physical structures and systems supporting societal functioning. Enhanced government spending on infrastructure can create a conducive environment for housing estate developments by stimulating demand, increasing the attractiveness of specific regions, and providing developers with opportunities to meet the growing housing needs in those areas. For example, the government of India allocated INR 10 trillion ($130.57 billion) in the Union Budget 2022-23 to boost the infrastructure sector. In the UK, the unveiling of projects in Newcastle, Cornwall, Greater Manchester, and Southampton is expected to bring economic benefits of £659.3 million ($716.982 million) through increased investment, new housing construction, and job opportunities. Therefore, the heightened government expenditure on infrastructure development is anticipated to support the growth of the housing estate developments market.
