– Industrial investment volume in the Americas fell by 28% year over year in Q3 to $33 billion. There is still strong demand from occupiers.
– Industrial investment in Europe fell by 5% Y o Y in Q3 to US$15 billion. This was the smallest Y o Y decrease in the region across the main commercial real estate sectors.
– Industrial investment volume in APAC plunged 47% Y o Y in Q3 to US$4 billion. This large drop was somewhat amplified by historically high volume in the sector last year.

– E commerce will continue its slow, steady growth as a % of overall retail as consumer expectations further justify next day and same day delivery.
Having the right inventory in the right locations, whether it be the retailers, suppliers or outsourced 3PLs, will be key to meeting consumer demand.
Automation will be utilized at a greater clip to tackle labor challenges that firms may be budgeting in/evaluating to improve their operations.
Population growth and logistics hubs will drive demand in emerging markets.
– Greater visibility and emphasis into labor dynamics and transportation infrastructure will drive intelligent site selection.

Increased demand from industrial occupiers, combined with an extremely tight job market, will lead to the expansion of automated technology and robotics. Since automation will require building amenities found primarily in newly constructed facilities, this will increase the demand for first-generation facilities in 2022 and beyond. According to CBRE European Logistics Occupier Survey 2022, logistics facility design is increasingly crucial for building selection in order to accommodate automation and improve productivity.
Given the need to reduce carbon emissions, the industrial sector will face more regulatory pressure, particularly for energy efficiency. While much of this effort will likely be focused on improving passenger and freight transportation efficiency and reducing manufacturing emissions, warehousing may be impacted as well. Consequently, developers may use more sustainable construction materials like timber instead of concrete and steel.
Robust demand led to 448.2 million sq. ft. of net absorption year to date in the U.S., Canada and Mexico, 27% higher than the same period last year. Construction completions totaled 354.7 million sq. ft., 56.3% higher than this same time period last year. Companies continue to lease space to account for continued e commerce sales growth, supply chain diversification, inventory control and population shifts. Overall vacancy decreased by 10 basis points (bps) to a historic low of 2.1%.
The average asking rent in the U.S. climbed to $9.54 per sq. ft., a year over year increase of 12.8%. Canada and Mexico saw rents rise year over year by 28.5% and 8.1%, respectively. Rental rate growth is expected to stay in the double digits in the U.S. well into 2023.
Total investment sale volume between January through September of this year slightly increased by 0.6% in the entire region, year over year. The U.S. witnessed a Y o Y rise of 25.2% in sale volume, reporting just over 99.1 billion in industrial investment deals year-to-date. A softening of activity is predicted as rising interest rates continue against a weaker economic backdrop as lending standards tighten.

– Leasing activity is down 10% compared with this time last year, but up 36% from 2020. Light industrial (under 25K SF) users are hitting the brakes with a 21% reduction in transactions. 1.2 MSF+ leases are up nearly double compared with last year.
– 52 leases have signed in deals 1 MSF and larger, much higher than the 34 signed this time last year.
– 74% of all of lease transactions were new deals, the same rate as this time last year.
– Look for leasing activity to finish 2022 at 850 million sq. ft., 15% lower than 2021’s record total. Transaction volume includes new leases and
The supply response is being hindered by high borrowing costs, increasing construction costs and higher exit yields. As a result, the already very low vacancy rates in Europe continued compressing in Q3. This low availability is, in some instances, preventing additional leasing activity.
The demand and supply imbalance and the unviability of some further developments due to the factors mentioned above keeps adding pressure on occupational costs, both through rental growth as well as indexation. Several European locations increased again their prime rents quarter on quarter during summer.
Investment volumes continued robust European industrial and logistics investment reported an 18% rise in the first 9 months of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. However, the UK, the largest market, was the first country to reflect the slowdown with a significant quarter-on-quarter fall.

Extremely low vacancy rates are restraining the number of units that can be offered to occupier and have left many requirements unmet.
Demand is strong in the year to date, particularly in the 3PL, production and manufacturing sectors.
The logistics sector is showing the quickest repricing of all European sectors, but investment volumes remained resilient in Q3 thanks to large transactions, but YTD growth slowed down.

ten countries mentioned above.
Industrial and logistics leasing activity eased across Asia in Q3 2022, with markets including mainland China, Korea and India recording weaker demand. Leasing volume in the Pacific was weak compared with the same period of last year, owing to a further drop in availability. However, the region logged a slight improvement in net absorption from the previous quarter, with activity edging up in undersupplied Sydney and Melbourne.
CBRE Asia Pacific Logistics Rental Index grew by 1.4% in Q3 2022, a slightly slower rate than in the previous two quarters. Rental performance across the region was bifurcated, with extremely low vacancy and soaring construction costs pushing up rents in Australia and New Zealand. Sydney, Adelaide, and Perth each registered rental growth of over 20% y o y this quarter.
Investors turn cautious following rate hikes
Industrial deals added up to US$3.7 billion, a decline of 49% y o y, the largest fall among the three sectors. Korea and Japan were the only markets to record growth in logistics investment volume, thanks to steady purchasing by REITs and real estate funds.
