Looking forward, Tricia Song, CBRE head of research study, Singapore as well as Southeast Asia, notes that industrial pipe continues to be “incredibly slim”, with multi-factory pipe anticipated to taper down from 2023 while the majority of storage facility supply up to 2023 is currently fully pre-committed.
The development in industrial rate and also rental indices was supported by producing outcome expansions in electronics and precision engineering, along with resistant need for semiconductors, notes Leonard Tay, head of research study at Knight Frank Singapore.
Nevertheless, He notes that lasting need for commercial spot will certainly still be driven by tailwinds such as Singapore’s boosting focus on high-value manufacturing as well as biomedical fields. Colliers is projecting commercial leas to increase in between 2% to 4% this year, while industrial rates are predicted to grow between 5% to 7%.
Colliers’ He, on the other hand, highlights that new supply will come onstream at an average overall of about 1.2 million sqm yearly from nowadays till 2025, including 1.6 million sqm to be finished this year.

For factories, multiple-user manufacturing facilities saw the highest possible quarterly and annual growth in 2Q2022 at 2.1% and 3.7% specifically. “This could be attributed to the thriving demand for high-specification multi-user warehouses, as occupiers look for office quality commercial spaces near the city edge,” marks Catherine He, head of study, Singapore at Colliers.
Industrial prices likewise increased, expanding 1.5% q-o-q in 2Q2022 yet alleviating from the 3.1% q-o-q surge recorded the previous quarter. Meanwhile, commercial tenancy rates inched up from 89.8% in 1Q2022 to 90% in 2Q2022.
