The real estate sector in Portugal continues to show signs of buoyancy, as evidenced by the creation of 20,000 new companies in the last five years.
This increase demonstrates the sector’s dynamism in recent years, with a 5% rise in turnover in 2024, totaling €8Bn, according to Crédito y Caución this Monday (March 30).
On the other hand, despite this growth, about a third of the sector’s companies present a high risk, although the majority (57%) are at a medium risk level. Geographically, Lisbon represents 38% of the sector’s companies, followed by Porto (19%), Braga (8%), Faro (6%), and Setúbal (5%).
In terms of age, 42% of companies were created less than five years ago, followed by companies with 6 to 10 years of operation (25%), those with 11 to 15 years (9%), and those with more than 16 years of activity (24%).
Regarding the export rate, it remained at 53%, impacted, albeit indirectly, by investment from international buyers and investors, which contributes to the growth in business volume and the appreciation of real estate assets.
