Demand for industrial facilities exceeds the volume of newly completed space—manufacturing and e-commerce are both on the rise

132,000 square meters of newly completed industrial space versus 263,000 m2 of new lease transactions. This disparity between the volume of leases and newly completed manufacturing and warehouse space was a defining factor for the situation in the Czech Republic during the second quarter. However, by the end of June and during the subsequent summer vacation weeks, this region also felt the effects of the hot European summer: increased fuel costs for transportation, trucks returning to the roads due to impassable rivers, and weakening performance in the German automotive industry due to declining purchasing power and competition, particularly from Chinese automakers.

Uncertainty surrounding the permitting process is dampening demand for development land—developers are waiting for both investors and tenants

Five or more hectares, at least 20,000 square meters of buildable area, and a valid building permit. This is what the most common demand for development land in the Czech Republic looks like. However, according to the real estate consulting firm 108 REAL ESTATE, other requirements and conditions in this market segment have changed year-over-year. Developers are no longer buying land for future projects but are now almost exclusively tailoring their purchases to specific tenants or end owners. The traditionally most attractive locations around Prague, Brno, and Plzeň have been joined by regions associated with announced major investments—for example, the Cheb area, where Mercedes-Benz plans to build a large logistics center for spare parts. According to 108 REAL ESTATE, buyer interest is also focused on areas near newly constructed highway sections, particularly the D6 and D35.

Investment in industrial real estate in Europe fell by a fifth. Czech Republic is suffering from a lack of quality properties for sale

Investment in industrial real estate in Europe fell by 21% year-on-year in Q1. The blame lies with the uncertain and less predictable global economic situation, or the impact of geopolitical instability in the Middle East, affecting in particular the performance of the logistics market. The total volume of EUR 7.5 billion for which warehouses and production halls on the European continent changed hands in the first quarter of this year is below the long-term quarterly average. However, data from real estate consultancy 108 REAL ESTATE, shared with BNP Paribas Real Estate as part of an alliance, shows that compared to traditional investment dominants such as France, the Netherlands, Germany and the UK, investor activity grew in Central European countries.

Around 230,000 m² of modern warehouse and production space was newly occupied in the Czech Republic from January to the end of March. Gross demand including renegotiations amounted to 422 thousand m². The main accelerator was the automotive industry, which reported the strongest production volume in the history of the Czech Republic in the period under review. And it is the automotive industry that is driving growth in other sectors, including logistics.

Hungarian industrial real estate market expects further growth after the elections - helped by news of euro adoption and automotive confidence

The optimistic mood prevails after the recent elections and the change of political situation in the industrial real estate market in Hungary. While the Czech Republic is often compared to Poland, Hungary is building its own position thanks to the automotive industry. According to real estate consultancy 108 REAL ESTATE, which has a presence in Budapest, the supply of modern warehouses and manufacturing space is expected to continue to grow, stimulated by the expected rising demand. The main reason for this is the multiplier effect of the major automotive brands already present on the Hungarian market. The vision of economic growth, expressed among other things by the new government's desire to adopt the euro as soon as possible, is also playing a role.
