LOGISTICS INVESTMENTS IN SPAIN, ITALY AND PORTUGAL – GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES IN BURGEONING MARKETS

October 10, 2018

After Germany, Great Britain and France, Italy and Spain are the 4th and 5th largest logistics markets in Europe. In 2016, Italy’s logistics revenues topped EUR 91bn, and Spain surpassed EUR 72bn. Portugal, which is roughly a quarter the size of Spain by population, recorded logistics revenues exceeding EUR 10bn. These strong figures contrast with the slowdown being seen across Northern and Central 2. Logistics Drivers The principle driver for logistics revenue growth is and remains e-commerce, with CBRE predicting growth levels in both Spain and Italy to be around 75% higher by 2022 than they were in 2016. The giant internet retailer Amazon, for example, has seven logistics centres in Spain, centred around Madrid and Barcelona, and will open an eighth in Toledo in Autumn 2018.1 In Italy, the company has three distribution centres, a development centre, a customer service centre and eight storage sites.2 By comparison, Amazon has 11 logistics centres in Germany and five in France. At Aquila Capital, we see these countries providing excellent opportunities for investing in logistics centres and projects. ‘Hot Spots’ for logistics hubs in Southern Europe Source: https://www.prologis.com/logistics-industry-research/customer-growth-strategies-europes-most-desirable-logistics-locations Europe

The vertical and, in the next step, horizontal networking of sensors, machines and factories is the systematic further development of this digitalization.
