[USPRwire, Fri Oct 31 2014] Growth in Taiwan's commercial real estate sector is being undermined by the economic slowdown in China and its subsequent impact on trade volumes and domestic growth. That said, the sector offers significant long-term opportunities in terms of a liberali s ing investment climate, improving Sino-Taiwan relations and a diversifying export market.
Taiwan boasts a well developed commercial real estate sector with the island's status as a regional trade and financial hub supporting continued demand from international business and investors. A wealthy local demographic and growing visitor numbers are also providing increased opportunities for retail developers across the country as foreign brands flock to the market.
A slowing Chinese economy has taken much of the wind out of the market's sales over the past few quarters, as falling export volumes have had a wider impact on domestic demand and investment. Growth in demand for commercial space has been largely concentrated on the top end of the market with demand for more affordable property playing catch-up. Meanwhile, the industrial real estate market has remained lacklustre as exports have underperformed with rental rates remaining significantly below the levels seen across the rest of the market.
Overall, we maintain a relatively optimistic outlook for the commercial real estate sector over the coming quarters as the recovery in the wider global economy creates new demand from the US and other non-Chinese markets. We expect rental rates to follow a largely stable trajectory over the coming quarters, as both supply and demand continue to balance each other out.
