ABSTRACT The logistics and warehousing real estate sector has emerged as a pivotal component of global supply chains, driven by the exponential growth of e-commerce, rapid technological advancements, and evolving consumer expectations for faster and more efficient deliveries. This sector plays a critical role in ensuring the smooth movement of goods, optimising inventory management, and enhancing supply chain efficiency across various industries. With the rise of omnichannel retailing and digitalisation, the demand for strategically located logistics hubs, fulfilment centres, and automated warehouses has intensified (Rodrigue, 2020). This research paper aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the logistics and warehousing market, shedding light on its current landscape, key driving forces, major challenges, and future opportunities. By delving into significant market trends, investment potential, and regional disparities, this paper presents valuable insights into the sector’s growth trajectory and sustainability. Additionally, the study highlights the role of infrastructure development, regulatory policies, and emerging technologies in shaping the future of logistics real estate. As logistics networks continue to expand globally, stakeholders—including investors, developers, policymakers, and supply chain managers—must adapt to dynamic market conditions. Understanding the complexities of this sector will enable businesses to make informed decisions, capitalise on emerging opportunities, and develop a resilient logistics infrastructure to meet the growing demands of modern commerce.
