The first point to mention, similarly with the development and contribution for each of the country’s economies, is that their industrial and logistics real estate markets are all at different stages of maturity, both in terms of size and the pace of development. As a result of this, you will see that data for some markets are detailed at a national level, while others are more focused around the main economic hubs, typically capital or major cities with larger pools of labour. Each of the markets have their own strengths, but also areas for further development.
As the report will explore, some of the key challenges in this sector, revolve around a number of factors that include: the availability of land and property in locations that meet both the developers and end-user expectations, the availability and reliability of utilities (and increasingly data networks) and transport infrastructure, the availability and skills of the labour pool, EU membership and access to investment incentives, amongst others.
