Warehousing Assets See 3-Fold Jump In Investment To $2 Bn

New Delhi: Institutional investment in warehousing assets jumped three-fold to nearly $2 billion last year on high demand from e-commerce and third-party logistics firms, according to Vestian. Real estate consultant Vestian on Thursday released a report on warehousing & logistics (W&L), stating that this segment received investments worth $1.96 billion during 2024 calendar year against $645.8 million in the preceding year. "Investment inflows surged to 203 per cent year-on-year, driven by the growing demand for warehouses amid the rapid expansion of the quick commerce sector.

As a result, this surge in demand resulted in a record absorption of 44.9 million sq ft in 2024, marking a 19 per cent increase over the previous year," the consultant said.
