Sweden's Warehousing and Logistics Sector Booms Amidst High Demand and Global Recognition

The Swedish logistics market is currently experiencing a surge, marked by consistently high levels of contemporary logistics space being introduced each quarter. Despite this influx, the demand for modern logistics facilities far exceeds the available supply, particularly driven by the growing popularity of e-commerce. In Q4 2021, the Logistics Prime Yield hit an unprecedented historical low of 3.45%, indicating a robust market with further compression anticipated in Q1 2023.

► E-commerce Driving Demand in Progressive Stockholm:
Sweden, known for its progressive mindset, particularly in its capital city, Stockholm, stands as one of the front runners in the world of e-commerce. With a population of over 2 million people, Stockholm is a thriving hub for e-commerce, set to be the epicenter of online commercial activity as Sweden's overall e-commerce sector is poised to grow by 13% year on year.

► Significant Growth in Contemporary Logistics Facilities:
In 2018, Sweden witnessed a remarkable increase of almost 10% in contemporary logistics facilities, totaling around 565,000 square meters. Large warehousing demand deals, especially those exceeding 100,000 square feet, contributed significantly to this growth. The 3PL, engineering, and electronics sectors played a dominant role in these larger deals, underscoring their sustained importance in the market.

► E-commerce and Retail Sectors Driving Warehousing Demand:
The burgeoning e-commerce and retail sectors in Sweden are rapidly growing and expected to continue driving increased demand, especially within the warehousing sector. The role of warehouses in facilitating efficient logistics for these expanding sectors is crucial.

► Continued Demand for Advanced Warehouses and Logistics Solutions:
The demand for advanced warehouse solutions, customized to meet the requirements of the e-commerce segment, continues to increase. Automation, robotic storage, and narrow aisle racking are becoming essential features for efficient and competitive utilization of warehouse space.

► Key Challenges in the Swedish Warehousing Market:
The warehousing and cold chain market in Sweden faces several challenges, including labor shortages, rising energy costs for cold storage facilities, regulatory compliance, infrastructure and transportation constraints, and the need for technological adoption. These challenges can impact operational costs and efficiency.

► Prominent Cities for Logistics and Warehousing:
Major distribution centers in Sweden are located in Stockholm, Gothenburg, and Malmo. Stockholm, as the capital and business center, serves as a hub for industrial and commercial associations, large corporations, and multinationals. Gothenburg, Sweden's second-largest city, is a key port for international shipping and a center for a fast-growing industrial complex.

► Economic Development and FDI Surge:
In 2022, Sweden experienced a significant surge in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), reaching SEK 512 billion, nearly three times the previous year. The cumulative FDI stock in Sweden stands impressively at SEK 3,722 billion. The Swedish Parliament's implementation of the FDI Act in 2023 provides a supervisory screening authority to scrutinize foreign direct investments.

► Global Competitive Index and Economic Strength:
According to the World Economic Forum, Sweden ranks as the 8th most competitive country out of 140 countries, with a global competitiveness index score of 81.25 in 2019. The country's economic strength and global recognition contribute to its attractiveness for investments.
