UK Industrial: Positioning for the next phase of growth

Read our latest report on the evolving Industrial Real Estate landscape

Warehouse

In recent times we’ve observed that the performance of broad real estate sectors seems to be converging. In this context, it may mean investors should exercise greater selectivity within an evolving industrial sector when seeking outperformance.

While industrial real estate’s relative performance prospects, in our view, are likely to remain strong in the long term, we believe the extent of outperformance seen over previous cycles is unlikely to be repeated.

Saying this, we believe the long-term drivers of industrial property demand remain both positive and broad-based, with the potential for future growth in the sector supported by two global megatrends – Digitalisation and Deglobalisation.

We believe care asset and segment selection within Industrials remains critical, with the age of properties and associated capex requirements being increasingly important.
