Demand for industrial space dwindles to 86,000 sqm in 4Q23

With lower demand, the occupancy rate edged up by 0.1 ppt.

Demand for industrial space declined to 86,000 sqm in 4Q23 as manufacturers chose to be cautious in their expansion plans, Huttons reported.

Given the lower demand and less industrial space completed, the occupancy rate of industrial space edged up by 0.1 percentage point in 4Q23.

Meanwhile, prices and rents of industrial spaces moderated to 0.6% and 1.7%, respectively, in 4Q23. 

Looking at 2023, prices have grown by 5.1%, smaller than the 2022 record of 7.5%.

“The high-interest rates and uncertain economic outlook resulted in resistance towards higher prices,” Huttons said.

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.
