Logistics Horizon Scanner: September & October 2022

The logistics sector is fast-paced and evolving exponentially. Pressures of global supply chain, combined with the opportunities that new technology presents and changing consumer habits, make this a truly dynamic sector. Our regular Horizon Scanner should help you stay ahead!  In this first edition, amongst other developments, we highlight three key trends currently influencing property development within the logistics sector:

• The search for storage hubs in urban spaces that speed up ‘last mile’ delivery;
• ‘Reshoring’: As global supply-chain disruption encourages domestic clients to being production back to the UK; and
• The rise of ESG-consciousness among occupiers.
