Industrial market sales in Q4 22 the lowest since 2020

Total transactions in the final quarter increased to $715.1m.

On the back of a hazier economic outlook and dampening of business sentiments, industrial market sales in the fourth quarter of 2022 went up to $715.1m, Knight Frank said.

This, however, is the lowest since the second quarter of 2020 when transactions totalled $324.8m due to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Leasing transactions are still stable in the months of October and November 2022 as businesses in manufacturing and engineering continue their expansion.

Prices and rents in the industrial market will continue to stabilise with a marginal growth of 1% to 3% for the whole of 2023, Knight Frank projected. 

In the logistics segment, where supply is limited, rents for quality warehouse space might soar by a higher 3% to 5% in 2023.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.
The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.
If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
