India emerging as the most preferred warehousing destination in Asia-Pacific: Survey

Hyderabad, July 9 (UNI) Nearly 70% of the players in the Asia-Pacific logistics sector prefer to expand their warehousing portfolio in India over the next two years, according to a survey published today.
The ‘2025 India Logistics Occupier Survey’, highlights the growing momentum of the country’s Industrial and Logistics (I&L) sector.
Released by India’s leading real estate consulting firm CBRE South, the survey was conducted between March and April 2025, collecting over 380 responses from logistics occupiers across the APAC region, including a significant 100 plus responses from India-based occupiers.
This growing interest reflects the broader shift towards supply chain diversification, as companies aim to reduce dependency on single-market strategies, the report revealed.

The sector is anticipating strong demand in South-East Asia and India across diverse segments, including third-party logistics (3PL), e-commerce, engineering and manufacturing (E&M), auto & auto ancillary, and fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG). Larger deals and modern facilities signal occupiers’ shift towards future-proof, compliant, and ESG-aligned warehousing, painting a promising picture of the sector’s forward momentum.
According to the report's findings, the sector is showing strong confidence in India's market potential, with more than 80 percent of India-based occupiers (both Indian and global firms with operations in India) planning to expand their warehousing portfolios over the next two years.
Despite near-term uncertainties, the country remains a preferred destination for both global and domestic corporates.
According to the survey, nearly 90 percent of India-based respondents expressed an intention to expand their logistics footprint over the next two to five years, indicating sustained long-term optimism.
The I&L sector is charting strong growth, driven by institutional capital, supportive regulatory reforms, and strategic penetration into tier-II and tier-III cities. This upward trajectory is reinforced by the rise of the 3PL segment, increased outsourcing, and a growing focus on sustainability and compliance.
The country’s logistics market, while still evolving, is witnessing rapid improvements in connectivity and cost-efficiency, particularly in non-metro locations. UNI KNR SSP
