Global relocation, housing and beyond: a 2025 review

Corporate accommodation is evolving. What was once a transactional, numbers-driven market is now defined by trust and long-term partnerships. Economic pressures and rising expectations for service, flexibility, and responsibility are shaping how organisations approach accommodation, placing greater emphasis on consistency, accountability, and local expertise.

In 2025, regional dynamics continued to vary, influenced not only by market maturity but also by political and economic factors. Europe demonstrates increasing consolidation and operational discipline, while navigating ongoing regulatory changes, energy challenges, and broader geopolitical uncertainty. Africa is experiencing dynamic growth and expanding influence, even as certain regions face governance and policy complexities that require careful management. The Americas are adjusting to shifting market conditions and global economic pressures, with geopolitical developments directly impacting mobility and corporate decision-making. Across all regions, organisations must balance opportunity with an informed understanding of these evolving political and economic landscapes.

These trends underline a corporate housing and relocation market that is increasingly considered, relationship-led, and resilient. Long-term partnerships and trust are now central to success, supported by on-the-ground insight and a deep understanding of local markets.

This report provides practical insights, strategic perspective, and actionable guidance to help organisations navigate a complex, global accommodation landscape – supporting smarter, future-ready decisions in 2026 and beyond.
