TAKE-UP INCREASES SIGNIFICANTLY YEAR-ON-YEAR
-
The nationwide warehouse and logistics market achieved a take-up of almost 6.1 million sqm in 2025 as a whole. This corresponds to a significant increase of 14% compared to the previous year. The logistics market is thus holding up 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 deals were recorded, which naturally have a strong impact on the overall result. The size category from 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 recorded take-up. 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.
