North America, particularly the United States and Canada, holds the largest share of the global commercial real estate market. The region benefits from a strong economic foundation, low unemployment rates, and high demand across various property types, including office spaces, industrial facilities, and retail centers. This diversity of demand supports a resilient and dynamic market landscape.

As the global CRE industry continues to evolve, market leaders are adopting multifaceted strategies to address emerging opportunities and overcome challenges. A major trend shaping the future of the sector is the increasing integration of property technology (proptech).

Companies are investing in advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), big data analytics, virtual reality (VR), and the Internet of Things (IoT) to improve operational efficiency and gain more accurate insights into market trends.
