Potential of warehouse rental service in Southeast Asia
The warehouse leasing market in Southeast Asia is experiencing strong growth, driven by factors such as e-commerce expansion, increasing demand for storage space, and rising investment in modern technologies. The region is becoming an attractive destination for industrial real estate investors, particularly in logistics and commercial warehouse facilities.
Southeast Asia’s e-commerce market is growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of up to 34%, and it is projected to reach $102 billion by 2025. The rapid shift to online shopping has significantly increased demand for modern warehouses, especially those located near residential areas to facilitate fast home delivery services. E-commerce companies require three times more warehouse space than traditional businesses, creating significant opportunities for the warehouse leasing sector in Southeast Asia.
Moreover, ASEAN countries are prioritizing the development of logistics infrastructure and digital connectivity, facilitating trade expansion and commercial growth. Notably, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Thailand are emerging as key investment hotspots for warehouse development, thanks to new industrial zones, competitive labor costs, and attractive tax incentives.
Automation technology is one of the main drivers of warehouse development in Southeast Asia. The adoption of robots and automated systems not only enhances operational efficiency but also reduces labor costs. This is particularly important as warehouses strive to meet the increasing demands of e-commerce and logistics operations.
Among Southeast Asian countries, Vietnam is currently attracting a large number of international investors in the warehouse leasing sector due to its affordable real estate prices, well-developed transportation network, and government tax incentives. Industrial zones in Vietnam, especially those located near seaports and international airports, are becoming ideal choices for businesses looking to expand their supply chains in Southeast Asia.
