Industry Outlook

According to HDFC's Q4 financial year 2023 report, government policies and rising household incomes have significantly improved affordability to its best level in over two decades. Increased incomes alongside stable housing prices have led to a notable rise in affordability, with the ratio improving from 22 in 1995 to 3.3 in 2023. A lower affordability ratio indicates greater affordability.

Housing finance penetration witnessed improvement in 2020. The trend of housing finance penetration in urban areas suggests that urban areas will likely have a relatively greater share of future growth in housing finance, almost reaching 50% of the total population.
