Industrial prices to grow between 5%-7% in 2022 amidst growing demand

Macroeconomic uncertainties are pushing industrialists to diversify locations.

With industrial assets seeing more demand, rental prices are likely to grow by 5% to 7% in 2022, according to Colliers. 

In a report, Colliers said macroeconomic uncertainties have prompted "industrialists to fortify their supply chains by diversifying locations and stockpiling." 

Colliers, however, warned that these uncertainties can also dampen business sentiments in the industrial sector.

"It has also led them to be more cautious about their expansion plans," said the expert. 

On the flip side, Colliers said demand for industrial assets had already caught up with supply in Q2.

During the quarter, total net absorption came to 4.30 mil sf, whilst 3.46 mil sf of industrial space came onstream.

According to the expert, interest in industrial assets is growing due to their "higher yields and limited availability.

"In the long term, demand for industrial space will still, be driven by tailwinds such as Singapore’s increasing focus on higher-value manufacturing and biomedical sectors," added Colliers.

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.
