Colliers shares its forecasts for 2022 for the warehouse market

According to Colliers, the high volume of new supply and demand indicates that in 2022 the warehouse market will continue its dynamic development, and tenants' interest in industrial and logistics real estate will not weaken. It is expected that in the first six months of next year, the total stock of space will exceed the limit of 25 million sqm.

"In 2022, the share of gross demand of e-commerce companies will remain at a high level. Courier services will continue to develop dynamically – more parcel machines belonging to new logistics operators will appear on the market. The concept of the so-called dark stores, i.e. distribution centers and order preparation centers for e-commerce – closely related to the warehouse market, will also gain popularity," the report reads.

In addition, further development of the industrial and logistics real estate market is also seen in the trend of locating production closer to the home country or sales region, i.e. nearshoring. Many foreign companies decide to shorten the supply chain, including locating their production plants closer to the market.
