Industrial occupancy rate dips in Q2

The decline was due to substantial new completions.

The overall occupancy rate for the industrial property market fell by 0.2 percentage points quarter on quarter to 88.8%, according to a JTC report.

The decline was due to substantial new completions such as World Gateway 2 in the warehouse segment and JTC Space at Ang Mo Kio in the multiple-user factory segment.

Meanwhile, the occupancy rate of business parks rose by 0.8 percentage points QoQ as tenants moved into newly completed developments.

The rental and price indices of all industrial space during the period rose by 0.7% and 1.4% QoQ, respectively.

As of the end of June 2025, around 0.3 million square metres of new industrial space is expected to be completed in the second half of 2025.

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.
