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.
According to the report, construction activity remained relatively low. Given the number of facilities under construction, we expect total new supply to reach 443,000 sq m by the end of 2017, which accounts for only 65% of its 2016 value.
Anton Alyabyev, Director of Warehouse & Industrial Department, CBRE in Russia said: " “We observe a moderate but steady growth in demand for high quality warehouse space in the regions. Major companies lease and purchase warehouses to expand their logistics both on new and developed industrial real estate markets.
At the same time, supply deficit on key regional warehouse markets increases. Due to most new premises being pre-leased and low vacancy levels, it is difficult to find a warehouse facility available for lease or purchase. Given the current market conditions and demand potential, we expect increase in forward deals – pre-lease agreements and built-to-suit projects. These transactions will trigger future market growth”.
