INVESTMENT VOLUME BELOW PREVIOUS YEAR'S LEVEL
-
The nationwide logistics investment market recorded an investment volume of just under €2.5bn in the first half of the year. This was 10% below the overall solid half-year result achieved in 2025. In a challenging environment shaped above all by the military conflict in the Middle East, the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and a shift in the interest rate trajectory, the German logistics investment market proved particularly resilient in the second quarter. Investment volume increased by 16% quarter-on-quarter, reaching just over €1.3bn in Q2.

In addition to a large number of smaller transactions of up to €10m, the volume generated by large-scale deals in the triple-digit million range also increased significantly compared with the same period last year. In total, four transactions fell into this category, three of which were successfully completed in the second quarter. The largest single transaction recorded so far this year remains the sale of the Mercedes-Benz logistics centre in Bischweier. Average deal size remained low at €19m.
