"In addition to being the key component in everything from mobile phones to autonomous vehicles, the semiconductor personifies how trends such as nearshoring and geopolitics are shaping the landscape of our globalised economy. "

"As we know, the industrial & logistics sector plays a vital role when it comes to facilitating the movement of goods across the country."

"Despite a fall in take-up in the first half of 2023, the industrial and logistics sector has seen rents remain robust."

"While the US$41.6 billion of investment in the global logistics sector was around 41% down on the year, it was nearly 10% above the equivalent Q2 level in 2019. Investors remain bullish on the long-term prospects for the sector, suggesting bust will not follow boom in the next 12 months"

"Investors are increasingly cautious when deploying capital into logistics, despite the fact that many institutions continue to openly back the sector"

"We are in a strong occupier market, with low vacancy rates and rental growth at a moderate pace. The market is preparing to come back stronger in a more stable and sustainable way once there is more clarity on prices and prime rates."
