India Leads Asia-Pacific Office Leasing with Over 70% Share in First Half of 2026
India accounted for over 70% of office leasing across 11 major Asia-Pacific markets in the first half of 2026, driving regional demand with strong absorption of Grade A office space and expansion of global capability centers. Total leasing in these markets rose 3% year-on-year to 4.6 million sq m, while new office supply declined 37%, concentrated mainly in India and Mainland China. Despite geopolitical uncertainties, skilled talent availability and cost advantages are expected to sustain India's leading position in the APAC office market.
