Logistics Dashboard

The nationwide logistics market achieved a take-up of around 5.3 million m² in 2024. This result is 16% below the previous year's level and 24% short of the ten-year average. After a very subdued start to the year, demand picked up, which led to an increase in take-up in the following quarters and constant results over the course of the year. In particular, the ongoing difficult economic environment combined with the only very moderate GDP forecasts for Germany have resulted in a lack of momentum for logistics take-up comparable to that of previous years. It is primarily the large-scale contracts of over 20,000 m² that have not been concluded on a similar scale to previous years. The general conditions for the further development of the logistics market are unlikely to change much in 2025: from today's perspective, it can be assumed that take-up will remain stable for the time being and only pick up significantly once there is a noticeable economic upturn.
