India and Vietnam are emerging as increasingly important destinations for global real-estate investors as improving market transparency, stronger infrastructure and growing economies reshape Asia’s property landscape.
The two countries have recorded a significant rise in direct real-estate investment over the past two years, attracting a combined $12 billion, according to JLL’s latest Global Real Estate Transparency Index. Their progress reflects a broader shift among international investors toward markets that offer greater transparency, clearer regulations and stronger access to reliable property data.
Vietnam has attracted growing attention as manufacturers and multinational companies expand their operations across the country. The resulting demand for industrial parks, warehouses, offices and housing is creating new opportunities across several segments of the property market.
India, meanwhile, continues to benefit from its expanding economy, urbanisation and growing demand for commercial and residential space. Major cities are attracting international capital into office buildings, logistics facilities, data centres and other forms of real-estate infrastructure.
Transparency has become an increasingly important factor in that investment. Global investors typically face greater uncertainty in markets where property ownership, regulations, transaction data and development processes are difficult to assess. Improvements in these areas can make markets more accessible to international capital and reduce some of the risks associated with cross-border investment.
The wider Asia-Pacific region is also playing a larger role in the global real-estate investment landscape. JLL identified several markets in the region among those making notable improvements in transparency, highlighting the growing competition among Asian economies to attract institutional investors.
The shift comes as global property markets adjust to changing interest rates, economic conditions and investor expectations. Rather than focusing solely on established real-estate centres, international investors are increasingly examining markets where economic growth and structural changes could create new opportunities.
For India and Vietnam, the challenge will be maintaining that momentum. Continued improvements in regulations, market information and transaction processes will be important if both countries want to attract more long-term institutional capital.
Their progress nevertheless signals a broader transformation in Asian real estate. As transparency improves and international investment expands, India and Vietnam are moving closer to the centre of global property investors’ attention—turning the region’s growth story into an increasingly important real-estate story as well.
