Industrial occupancy rate flat at 89% despite gains in some segments

Multiple-user factory and business park segments saw increased occupancy in Q3.

The overall occupancy rate for the industrial property market remained unchanged at 89% in Q3 2024 despite increases in multiple-user factory and business park segments.

JTC figures showed that occupancy rose 0.3 percentage points to 91.6% for the multiple-user factory and 0.5 percentage points to 78.8% for the business park sequentially.

However, the occupancy rate edged up by 0.1 percentage points year over year, largely due to the multiple-user factory, which recorded a 1.9 percentage point increase.

Meanwhile, prices and rentals of industrial spaces continued to rise in Q3, albeit slower, increasing by 0.5% QoQ (2.1% YoY) and 0.3% QoQ (4.8% YoY), respectively.

JTC said 0.2 million square meters (sqm) of new industrial space will come in the pipeline by the end of 2024 and 1.6 million sqm in 2025.

“Whilst the new supply of Industrial space continues to come on-stream in 2024, occupancy rates are likely to remain stable,” JTC said.

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.
