Logistics rents rise 4% in Q4 2025 on limited supply

It climbed 17.2% from Q1 2020 levels.

Logistics rents in Singapore rose 4% year-on-year in the fourth quarter (Q4) of 2025 as limited new supply intensified competition for warehouse space, according to a Cushman & Wakefield report.

Rents were 17.2% higher than in Q1 2020, with average logistics rents reaching $21.7 (US$16.80) in Q4 2025.

Cushman & Wakefield said Singapore remains one of Asia-Pacific's (APAC) supply-constrained logistics markets, alongside Australia and Japan.

Limited development pipelines are expected to reduce vacancies and increase competition for space, it added.

Across APAC, 43% of markets are expected to see vacancy rates decline over the next three years as market conditions tighten.

By contrast, tenant-favourable conditions persist in parts of India and mainland China, where new supply continues to outpace occupier demand.

Demand in the region continues to be supported by e-commerce, manufacturing and supply chain diversification, with Southeast Asia emerging as a key growth hub.

Singapore's electricity cost index stood at 119 in Q4 2025, above the global sample median of 100, although electricity rates declined 10.9% from a year earlier.

Meanwhile, wage costs were broadly in line with the global median, with an index reading of 97.1.

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.

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.
