Here's why GLP can hinge on e-commerce tenants for growth

E-commerce tenants account for 25% of GLP's leased area in China.

Leading provider of modern logistics facilities Global Logistics Properties are seeing good days ahead in China, where there is a continued demand coming from e-commerce players.

According to UOB KayHian analysts Derek Chang and Vikrant Pandey, the growth of e-commerce in China will continue to underpin demand for logistics facilities, in which GLP can benefit.

"Shortage of modern logistics space leaves top e-commerce tenants like JD.com dependent on GLP for leasing requirements despite constructing their own warehouses," the two analysts noted.

They added, "While media reports abound of e-commerce tenants like JD.com constructing their own warehouse buildings, the shortage of welllocated modern logistic facilities has still led JD.com to increase its spatial requirements to GLP at a CAGR of 103% over the last five years."

JD.com is GLP's second largest tenant. The two analysts noted that e-commerc tenants account for 25% of GLP’s leased area in China, the highest proportion relative to GLP’s other operating geographies.

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.
