According to Savills’ Italian Logistics Spotlight report, the first three quarters of the year continued to record growth in both investment volumes and take-up. The logistics sector ranked as the second most sought-after asset class by investment volume, after retail, attracting €2.0 billion in investments, a 66% increase year-on-year. The market once again proved particularly dynamic, with a high number of transactions completed (45 deals, up 20% YoY).

The European logistics market is entering a more selective phase of the cycle, characterized by demand that remains solid but is increasingly focused on high-quality properties capable of meeting ever-more-sophisticated operational, technological, and energy requirements.
