description: "Savills estimates the UK requires 139,000 new care home beds by 2036 to address a supply-demand imbalance, representing a 30% increase. While occupancy exceeds pre-pandemic levels, net supply remained flat between 2020-2025 due to decommissioning offsetting new builds. With only 20,000 beds in the near-term pipeline and persistent planning and contractor constraints, significant gaps remain despite eased cost inflation and improved financing conditions."

# Savills sees UK needing 139,000 new care home beds by 2036 to lift supply about 30%

-   Savills estimates the UK will need 139,000 new care home beds by 2036, implying about 30% growth from current supply. \* Net supply stayed flat in 2020-2025: more than 30,000 new beds delivered, offset by about 29,000 decommissioned. \* Occupancy has moved above pre-Covid levels, widening a supply-demand imbalance as demand growth outpaces net additions. \* Near-term pipeline totals about 20,000 beds under construction or with detailed planning consent, leaving a large remaining gap. \* Cost inflation has eased to about 3.8% a year in early 2026; financing conditions improved, while planning delays and contractor constraints persist.
