Logistics Dashboard

The nationwide warehouse and logistics market achieved a take-up of almost 6.1 million sqm in 2025. This corresponds to a significant increase of almost 14% compared to the previous year. The logistics market is thus performing well in a weak economic environment and is showing a positive development over the course of the year. Nevertheless, the deviation from the ten-year average is 13%. Overall, more contracts were signed than in the previous year and, above all, a higher number of large-scale contracts were again recorded, which naturally have a strong impact on the overall result. The size category above 20,000 sqm increased by an impressive 30%. In this space segment, logistics service providers stand out in particular, accounting for almost half of the take-up in the segment of large contracts. This reflects the fact that many industries appreciate the flexibility of logistics service providers, especially in economically difficult times. In this context, it is also noteworthy that companies from the e-commerce sector are again much more active in the market, but often have their business handled by logistics service providers. The top logistics markets (Berlin, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Cologne, Leipzig and Munich) grew by 15% year-on-year and closed the year with a combined take-up of 2.2 million sqm. In the course of the year, the rent level has risen slightly in most locations, both at the peak and on average.
