Key Trends
Industrial/Logistics
Onshoring/nearshoring
Following the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a noticeable trend towards onshoring and nearshoring initiatives with the aim of reducing risks associated with possible supply chain disruptions. This has created increased demand for warehousing, distribution centers, and last mile delivery hubs.
E-Commerce
Over the past decade, there has been a structural shift in consumer habits, favouring e-commerce over traditional brink-and-mortar retail. This trend has led to a growing need for storage space and distribution centres closer to the end customer.
Transport Logistics
Transport Logistics is experiencing rapid growth due to the rising demand for space to accommodate vehicles, equipment, and containers needed for eCommerce, construction, and logistics operations. Companies continue to seek cost-effective alternatives like these assets for storage and staging areas near key transportation hubs. With limited properly zoned and dedicated land availability, transport logistics assets are expected to continue performing.
Cold Storage
Cold storage is experiencing robust growth, fueled by the rise in online grocery shopping, increased demand for direct-to-consumer perishable goods, and the growth of temperature-controlled specialized medicine. This surge is intensified by the need for more efficient, localized cold chain logistics to ensure quick delivery and product freshness, along with an aging inventory that highlights the demand for newer facilities.
