Warehousing & Industrial H1 2023:

During the first half of 2023, the demand for industrial and warehousing spaces in India saw notable shifts. Third-party logistics (3PL) remained at the forefront of demand, but there was a substantial increase in leasing activities by Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) and engineering firms across major markets in the country. Particularly noteworthy was the resurgence of demand from E-commerce, which surged by an impressive 68% year on year after a period of relative stagnation.


Several factors contributed to the overall growth in demand for industrial and warehousing facilities. These included the expansion of production capacities, robust government policy support, and the adoption of automated and process-driven manufacturing practices.

While 3PL players are expected to maintain their dominant position in driving demand, other segments are projected to experience strong and steady momentum in leasing activities as well.

"In the face of challenging global economic conditions, India's industrial and warehousing sector demonstrated remarkable resilience during the first half of the year. Thanks to favorable demand and supply dynamics, the vacancy levels saw a significant decline of 110 basis points, reaching 10%. Consequently, the overall rentals experienced a slight increase. India's impressive economic indicators are exhibiting promising signs of progress, characterized by consistent growth in manufacturing output and investment. These positive developments bode well for the sector in both the short and medium term."
