Warehouse space for e-commerce is growing: survey

According to a recent Cushman & Wakefield survey, 25 percent of the total warehouse space resources in Poland are dedicated to the e-commerce market.

In recent years, we have observed the dynamic development of both large logistics centers dedicated to servicing this sector as well as the accelerated development of the offer of smaller municipal warehouses and Small Business Units, which perfectly fit into the development of "last mile" logistics.

This is evidenced by the fact that in the period 2018-2019 developers provided about 180,000 sqm of this type of area and over 300,000 sqm is being implemented or planned in the years 2020-2021. Cushman & Wakefield experts also point out the essence of the first mile, which is particularly important in e-commerce.

Polish customers are at the forefront of European consumers in terms of demand for delivery dates and choice of place. Recent studies show that 57 percent of customers buy in two sales channels (online and offline). In the group of household appliances / RTV, this percentage is already 71 percent.
