For the entire 2023, the industrial and logistics sector is likely to see absorption of over 40 million sq ft, the report said, citing the PLI-backed transformation of manufacturing sector as one of the key reasons behind the surge in demand.
There may be a sharp dip in housing sales for at least a quarter but demand for affordable housing at realistic prices is expected to remain intact, Savills India CEO Anurag Mathur said.
According to the study by global property consultant Savills, warehousing space absorption across eight cities like Mumbai, Pune, Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Delhi and Kolkata, is expected rise to 35 million sq ft in 2020.
"Global real estate is mostly residential and held by occupiers, but private owners are becoming more important in the world of traded investable property," said Yolande Barnes, director, World Research at Savills.
