Prime logistics rents up 8.6% in H1 amidst weak manufacturing output

Leasing activity is also stable.

The leasing activity for prime logistics remains stable in the second quarter of 2023 is stable amidst expansions and new set-ups picking up, CBRE said.

"Expansionary activity was seen by 3PLs and wholesale trade in the logistics and warehouse segment. There were new set-ups by the biotechnology and semiconductor industries in new hi-tech spaces," read the study.

There are no new completions making occupancy close to full for the logistics market in Q2 2023.

Amongst all industrial segments, prime logistics posted the highest rental growth of 4.8% QoQ as 3PL companies continue to drive demand for ramp-up logistics assets.

Occupiers are also ramping up to renew leases with no supply expected in the second half of the year.

Meanwhile, average warehouse and factory rents grew by 2.7% and 1.7% QoQ, respectively.

CBRE said industrial land supply will fill up from 2026 onwards.

Against this backdrop, businesses are cautious about operational costs amidst growing inflation.

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.
