Mainland China Supply Chain (CBRE)

• Mainland China’s pursuit of zero-covid continues to result in sudden and intermittent disruption to manufacturing, logistics and supply chain operations.

• CBRE expects this environment to drive the further strengthening of just-in-case strategies as occupiers look to build up inventory to mitigate potential disruption – a trend that will generate substantial new demand for industrial and logistics real estate on the mainland.

• As industrial and logistics occupiers look to extend their footprint to emerging hubs, tier I and satellite cities of key metropolitan areas are likely to attract stronger demand.

• Occupiers are advised to focus on securing space in modern logistics facilities in locations with good transportation links, while investors are recommended to consider constructing greenfield developments in emerging hubs.
