Industrial occupancy dips to 88.7% in 1Q24

Occupancy fell 0.3 ppt from 4Q23.

The overall occupancy rate for the industrial property market fell 0.3 percentage point (ppt) QoQ and 0.1 ppt to 88.7% in 1Q24.

JTC attributed the increase to supply outpacing demand.

From 1Q23 to 1Q24, total available stock rose by 0.7 million sqm, outpacing the 0.6 million sqm increase in total occupied stock.

Data available as of March indicates that 1.6 million sqm of industrial space will be completed in the remaining quarters of 2024.

In 2025, an additional 1.0 million sqm of space will come on stream.

“Whilst it is anticipated that new supply of industrial space stock will continue to come on steam in 2024, occupancy rates are likely to remain stable,” JTC reported.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
