One of the reflections of the trade balance can be felt in the logistics-industrial sectors. Data from Marketing Analytics (MA) shows that from the fourth quarter of 2022 to the end of 2023, the industrial product sector occupied 7.5% more areas, meaning more industrial properties were occupied for their operations.

MDIC data shows that the industrial sector experienced a similar increase in exports to its physical expansion, with an 8.6% increase. Another industry closely linked to these two sectors is the automotive sector, which expanded its operations in A+, A, and B industrial property occupancy by 7.5%. Furthermore, the agribusiness, which led MDIC data with a 13.7% increase, showed an expansion in their occupations of 20.2%.

"With the economy and local production on the rise, we anticipate a positive ripple effect on the logistics real estate sector. These properties are sought after by major companies in need of space for storage, stocking, and nationwide product distribution across Brazil. Presently, Brazilian logistics properties boast impressive occupancy rates exceeding 90%," comments Giancarlo Nicastro, CEO of SiiLA.
