Occupancy rate industrial property market declined 89.4% in Q4 22

Prices and rentals increased even as the occupancy dropped.

The overall occupancy rate for the industrial property market went down to 89.4%, with new completions exceeding new demand, resulting in an increase in available stock.

In the JTC quarterly market report, prices and rentals have continued to rise despite the drop in occupancy. 

About 1.8 million square metres of new industrial space is projected to be finished in 2023, with single-user factory space making up the largest proportion with 49%, warehouse space taking up 28% whilst 23% comprising multiple-user factory and business park. 

In 2023, the economy will experience a slowdown and demand for industrial space will remain to grow. Prices and rentals may moderate as new supply comes on-stream.

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.
