Germany Warehousing and Cold Storage Market Size and Forecast (2020-2030)
Description
Executive Summary
Germany's strategic geographical location at the heart of Europe confers significant advantages, contributing substantially to the robustness of its warehousing industry. The onset of the pandemic served as a catalyst, accelerating the pre-existing trend of heightened online shopping activity. Consequently, the demand for warehouse space has surged. In the initial six months of 2023, approximately 2.05 million square meters were absorbed by the German warehousing and logistics sector, marking a notable 58% decrease compared to the same period in the preceding year. This decline can be attributed to several factors, including a scarcity of available space, limited supply, and the absence of speculative properties.
Regarding industrial construction trends and development, the first half of 2022 witnessed a substantial completion volume of 835,000 square meters, followed by an additional 530,000 square meters in the latter half of the year. This surge signifies a doubling of the new construction volume compared to the previous year.
The warehousing market in Germany has seen a steady rise in its market revenue since 2018 to 2020 with the country reaching a high of USD 11.60 billion in 2020. After the advent of the Covid pandemic in 2020, the warehousing market picked up with more investments and reliance in the cold chain market of the country.
The Vital Role of Cold Storage Facilities in Germany
Germany's strong agricultural industry and its position as a major exporter of perishable goods such as fruits, vegetables, meat, and dairy products have led to the establishment of a highly efficient cold chain infrastructure. Situated strategically within Europe, Germany functions as a central hub in the cold chain market, facilitating the smooth transportation of goods across the continent and enhancing international trade. The country's commitment to quality and reliability has prompted significant investments in cold chain logistics, including the adoption of state-of-the-art refrigeration technologies, temperature-controlled warehouses, and advanced transport systems. As of January 9, 2024, Germany boasts a total of 133 cold storage facilities.
The cold transport market in Germany has experienced notable growth, spurred by a series of industry acquisitions that attracted global players such as Lineage, DHL, and Maersk. This influx of investment has led to the establishment of new warehouses and the development of a robust cold chain network throughout the country, further solidifying Germany's position as a leader in the field of cold storage and transportation.

The German Warehousing Market is expected to experience robust growth, highlighting a promising outlook characterized by a compelling compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.95% through the year 2030.
