Softer demand to slow rental and price growth for factories

In 1Q24, rental indices saw single-digit increases.

Rental and price growths for factories are likely to slow amidst softer demand and leasing activity, Colliers reported.

In 1Q24, rental indices for multiple-user factories increased by 1.3% QoQ, whilst single-user factories reported a 2.1% QoQ increase.

Demand for multiple-user factories also grew, albeit slower, as most tenants opted for smaller spaces under 10,000 square feet.

Meanwhile,  manufacturing players drove the demand for single-user factories.

“There is a surge of supply coming on stream in 2024 though these are typically developed by the industrialists for their own use,” Colliers 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.
