Chart of the day: Factory and warehouse leasing volume slows to 3.5% in Q1

This is way below the double-digit increase from a year before.

This chart from Savills shows that factory and warehouse leasing volume rate increase had slowed down to 3.5% year-on-year (YoY) in the first quarter (Q1) of 2022 despite volume increasing from 2950 to 3054.

This is far from the 21.2% YoY growth in Q1 2021.

However, from the chart, we can surmise that if the trend from the 12 years continues, leasing volume will continue to break the previous year’s records. 

“While single-user factory segment remained the key demand driver of the industrial rental market, the YoY growth in tenancies signed moderated from 63% in the fourth quarter of 2021 to 39.7% in Q1 2022,” Savills said.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
