At Yardi, we focus on helping clients understand the steps they need to take and the tools they can use to successfully transform their leasing and property management business,\u201d said Bernie Devine, regional director for Yardi\u2019s Asia Sales team.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Opportunity Beckons<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This environment and a burgeoning real estate investment market\u2014which grew by $867 billion in China, Hong Kong and Singapore 2016, according to the report\u2014has produced fertile ground for creating new, more efficient real estate systems.<\/p>\n<p>With real estate and related sectors accounting for up to 20% of gross domestic product in China alone, technology has become a top target for entrepreneurs and investors. Asian Pacific real estate technology provider startups, which have raised almost $5 billion since 2013, are creating new systems for bringing efficiency in property listing and search services, market data and analytics compilation.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, \u201cthe concentration of resources in developing software solutions for real estate problems is rapidly bringing down barriers to adoption,\u201d making it likely that \u201cthe trajectory of tech adoption in Asia\u2019s real estate industry may be \u2026 set to a new course.\u201d\u00a0 The report says the sector is already moving quickly to develop \u201cmore powerful tools to assist occupiers, investors and other industry players.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Future Mingtiandi surveys will track the progress of real estate technology adoption in Asia.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on trends in Asian real estate technology adoption, download the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mingtiandi.com\/building-asias-digital-future-get-the-report\/\">Mingtiandi report<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reliance on spreadsheets and manual processes in Asia will likely fade as investors and technology providers lay the groundwork for sweeping modernization, according to a recent survey of technology adoption in the region\u2019s real estate industry.
