UK Logistics & Industrial Outlook

21/07/2023
The UK Logistics & Industrial National Outlook report analyses quarterly UK industrial and logistics property activity across the UK including demand, market supply and pricing trends with an outlook to future trends in this property sector. 

Q2 Key Findings:

  • Occupier demand continued to recede during Q2 2023, totalling 6.3m sq ft across 45 transactions, a fall of 26% QoQ, and the lowest quarterly value since Q1 2020.
  • Despite this drop off in demand, over 7.5m sq ft of immediately available stock is currently under offer, and the number of enquiries and requirements has continued to improve.
  • Demand dynamics continue to evolve, with a noticeable absence of large modern stock being acquired by 3PL occupiers, a key proponent of logistics demand.
  • Availability constraints continue to ease as total availability exceeded 60m sq ft for the first time since Q1 2021, reaching 63.6m sq ft.
  • Investment volumes showed signs of recovery following H2 2022 fall-out and subsequent re-pricing. Total volumes reached £1.6bn, whilst still at relative lows, this value represents a recovery on the Q4 2022 and Q1 2023 values, and is accompanied by improvements in sentiment, and the return of price stability.
