Market Analysis
The United States dominates the region, with e-commerce and retail flows sustaining warehouse volume even as big-box construction has fallen sharply, creating potential scarcity. Smaller in-fill facilities under 200,000 square feet posted the lowest vacancy as same-day delivery shortens the fulfillment radius, while data centers increasingly compete for industrial-zoned land and power.
Demand is propelled by e-commerce expansion, nearshoring and reshoring of manufacturing, and the shift toward automation and high-tech facilities. Multi-story concepts, cold-storage growth, reverse-logistics modules, and reliable power access are reshaping the competitive landscape, while institutional capital continues to flow into modern, strategically located logistics assets.
