Why European logistics?

Whilst global online sales are growing at a double-digit rate, dramatically accelerated by the global pandemic, a surprising number of Continental Europe’s large economies have relatively low e-commerce penetration rates, and the current build out of e-commerce infrastructure reflects this.
Due to structural supply barriers such as rigid zoning policies and limited land available for development, combined with a high total population and population density, Europe is primed to see robust logistics real estate expansion and investment opportunities.
