According to Savills, turnover in the industrial and logistics property investment market totalled around €3.8 billion in the first three quarters of 2026. This represents a 13 per cent increase compared with the same period last year. However, turnover was 25 per cent lower than the 10-year average. By the end of September 2026, Savills had recorded 177 transactions, representing a 27 per cent increase on the previous year. The prime yield for logistics properties stood at 4.6 per cent at the end of September, up 10 basis points on the previous quarter and 20 basis points on the same period last year.
Bertrand Ehm, Director of Investment at Savills, comments: “Despite the financing environment remaining challenging, the transaction volume for logistics and industrial property at the end of September is higher than the average for the past three years. A key factor in this has been the increased interest from US investors: they account for 22 per cent of the purchase volume this year, significantly more than the ten-year average of 13 per cent. With the forthcoming takeover of the logistics property group Segro by the US REIT Prologis, this share is likely to rise significantly once again.”
With a transaction volume of 2.4 billion euros, logistics properties have contributed the most to investment turnover over the last twelve months, followed by industrial properties (approx. 1.0 billion euros) and business parks (approx. 410 million euros).
