IRN Rental Tracker 2019

The sentiment within the European rental market has remained relatively positive over the past couple of years, though there has been a gradual downward trend since the high in the first quarter of 2017. This has continued in the latest RentalTracker survey undertaken at the end of March this year, with the positive balance of opinion on current business conditions dropping from 44% in the third quarter of 2018 to 32% now.

That said, this is still a strong figure, considering it had struggled to reach above 25% between 2011 and 2016. (The ‘balance’ figure recorded for each question in the survey is the percentage of positive responses less the percentage of negative responses.)
