European Industrial & Logistics Occupier Market outlook for 2017 • Occupier demand is forecast to remain resilient despite mainly modest economic growth and heightened political risks. Our Supply Chain Activity Index points to a slight deceleration on 2016’s record high, but still trending upward. • New supply is likely to still be predominantly BTS. Vacancy rates are therefore projected to stay low in most major markets. • Our model-based forecasts imply moderate rental growth in aggregate across Europe this year, but specific supply and demand dynamics will determine growth rates in local markets.
