The I&L provide is forecasted to exceed 2022 ranges and rise to 24-26 million sqft in 2023
A ‘multipolar’ provide chain technique adopted by occupiers and the federal government’s continued funding and infrastructure initiatives is anticipated to maintain demand for Industrial & Logistics (I&L) areas in 2023, actual property consulting agency CBRE South Asia mentioned in a report. It added that the expansion charge may sluggish as occupiers will align their portfolio methods with world headwinds.
“This would lead to absorption ranging between 32-35 mn sqft, a 1-5 per cent YoY progress in 2023. I&L provide forecast is anticipated to exceed 2022 ranges and contact 24-26 million sqft in 2023. The share of mission completions by distinguished world/home builders is anticipated to extend to 40 per cent in 2023-24 from 37 per cent throughout 2021-22,” CBRE South Asia said in the report.
It added that the demand is expected to be predominantly driven by 3PL and engineering & manufacturing occupiers. The report points to anticipated heightened interest from FMCG, retail and electronics and electrical firms. Moreover, the share of large-sized deals ranging from 32-35 per cent is expected in 2023.
Anshuman Magazine, chairman & CEO (India, South-East Asia, Middle East & Africa) of CBRE, said, “We believe strong macroeconomic fundamentals and domestic consumption will overcome the impact of an impending slowdown. The government’s strong capex programme, with a focus on infrastructure development and capacity building across sectors, is aimed at driving investment. As the second-largest employment generator in India, the real estate sector will continue to be a focus area for these investments.”
He added that the I&L sector occupiers are prone to transfer in the direction of reaching operational efficiencies and rationalise price in a multi-user facility, and that is anticipated to push the take-up of large-sized areas hereon. Omnichannel retail, together with want for city fulfilment centres would drive leasing by retail and FMCG companies.
Ram Chandnani, managing director (advisory & transactions companies) of CBRE India, mentioned, “Supply additions are anticipated to be dominated by Mumbai, adopted by Delhi-NCR, Bengaluru, Chennai and Pune in 2023. These cities collectively are anticipated to drive greater than 70 per cent of completion through the yr. Moreover, builders are prone to think about rising logistics hubs by investing in land banks nearer to new infrastructure initiatives and tier-II and -III cities.”
The I&L supply is forecasted to exceed 2022 levels and rise to 24-26 million sqft in 2023. The share of project completions by prominent global/domestic developers is expected to increase to 40 per cent in 2023-24 from 37 per cent during 2021-22.
The changing requirements of occupiers to enhance storage efficiencies of I&L spaces led developers to increase ‘clear height’ of developments in their upcoming parks. Moreover, standard specifications in the forthcoming I&L parks including sufficient loading/unloading bays, power back-ups, ridge ventilators, thermal insulations and fire sprinklers.
