Logistics to see robust growth in 2025 driven by e-commerce
India’s industrial and logistics (I&L) sector is expected to witness strong growth in 2025, driven by increasing demand for warehousing, particularly from e-commerce companies, according to a report by CBRE. The report highlighted that the sector’s positive momentum, which picked up in the latter half of 2024, will likely continue in the coming year. It said that activity is expected to be driven by the influx of investment-grade supply, the finalisation of pending transactions, and the growth in warehousing demand by e-commerce players.
The report attributed this growth to multiple factors, including the availability of high-quality supply, the completion of pending transactions, and rising demand from e-commerce players. The third-party logistics (3PL) sector is expected to remain the largest occupier group, alongside continued leasing demand from the engineering & manufacturing (E&M), e-commerce, and fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sectors, as per a report.
