China’s total construction pipeline continues to be led by Shanghai and Guangzhou with 125 projects/24,403 rooms, and 113 projects/26,897 rooms, respectively.

In the recent report by Lodging Econometrics (LE), in the third quarter of 2018, China’s total construction pipeline stands at 2,642 projects/569,690 rooms and is up 9% by projects and 6% by rooms year-over-year (YOY).

Projects presently under construction are at 1,928 projects/402,529 rooms, projects scheduled to start construction in the next 12 months are at 344 projects/73,209 rooms, and projects in the early planning stage are at 370 projects/93,952 rooms. 

Through the third quarter of 2018, China has opened 446 hotels/78,091 rooms. The LE forecast for new hotel openings expects another 195 projects/27,054 rooms to open in the fourth quarter of 2018, bringing the anticipated new hotel openings to 641 projects/105,145 rooms by year-end. In the years ahead, 661 new hotel openings are forecast to open in 2019 and 604 in 2020. Both are distant from the cyclical peak of 1,684 new openings/193,772 rooms recorded in 2014.

Although the growth of China’s GDP has slowed in recent years, domestic tourism is still a driving force of China’s economy, which has been growing since 2013. Hotel demand is robust in tourism destinations and economically developed cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, and Shenzhen. 

China’s total construction pipeline continues to be led by Shanghai and Guangzhou with 125 projects/24,403 rooms, and 113 projects/26,897 rooms, respectively. 

Franchise companies topping China’s construction pipeline are led by Hilton Worldwide, which has reached a new all-time high for the company, with 397 projects/88,689 rooms under development. Next is InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) with 305 projects/71,935 rooms, and then Marriott International with 279 projects/77,087 rooms.
