From resilience to growth
European retail sales are returning to levels seen before the pandemic as economic headwinds ease, though the prolonged period of economic instability has resulted in consumers prioritising saving more. The prime occupational market will remain solid in 2025, driven by decreasing voids and positive rental growth, attracting investor interest. With secondary assets needing capital for modernisation, refurbishment and active asset management opportunities will also draw more investors. Combined with interest rate cuts and stabilising yields, this will boost the retail investment market.
