Chart of the Day: Industrial property supply to weaken in 2021

Factory spaces may account for three-fourth of the overall supply.

This chart from Colliers shows that the supply of industrial spaces is projected to taper off to around 6.9 million sqft (642,000 sqm, net), after doubling in 2020 to 20.2 million sqft or about 4% of total stock.

However, the supply is also expected to recover in 2022 to 13.7 million sqft (1.3 million sqm, net). About 76% of the industrial supply in the five-year period 2020-2024 could be factory spaces.

Furthermore, Colliers stated that average monthly factory gross rent fell by 1.8% YoY to $1.67 psft, whilst warehouse-logistics also slipped by 1.6% YoY to $1.23 psf. In contrast, monthly business park rents inched up by 1.4% YoY to $4.37 psf on tight supply whilst independent high-spec industrial buildings saw monthly rents climbing 1.4% YoY to $2.94 psf.

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.
