Dear readers! In September the CeMAT RUSSIA exhibition was held, which showed everyone that innovations and robotics are increasingly penetrating the logistics industry. We can safely say that many technologies are tested here, and only then they go out into the world. However, it is not only CeMAT RUSSIA that demonstrates the prevalence of the digital agenda.
Dear readers! This is the ninth issue of the journal, which turned out to be very rich and diverse. Traditionally, the issue is opened by an analyst. The material by Alina Nasyrova from the Market Guide Agency, dedicated to investments in warehouse complexes in Russia, recalls the importance of developing logistics infrastructure for the integrated development of regions.
Dear readers! We present to your attention the eighth issue of the magazine and its materials.
CBRE Research team in Russia issued 2017 Russia Regional Industrial Big Box MarketView.
According to the report, the total of 2017 demand for warehouse space on the regional warehouse markets amounted to 553,000 sq m, representing a 33% growth YoY. 71% of take-up is attributable to large federal retail companies, actively expanding their presence on the regional markets. FMCG & Food prevailed in take-up structure by goods type.
Given the deficit in large warehouse space and strong demand dynamics, growth in rental rates on certain regional markets is possible.
Anton Alyabyev, Director of Warehouse & Industrial Department, CBRE in Russia said: “In 2018, we expect an increase of interest in regional projects from both major federal and local developers. This will be reflected in new development, as well as the resumption of speculative construction in the markets with the largest deficit in quality warehouse space. Taking into account the stability of demand and overall demand for high-quality warehouse real estate in the Russian market, we expect to see a large number of transactions and a further increase in the importance of the regions as logistics hubs.”
