Although industrial real estate has outperformed other commercial property types this year due in part to a surge in e-commerce, broader macroeconomic indicators suggest industrial space absorption will decline sharply in Q3 2020 and then rebound to positive levels in Q2 2021, according to the NAIOP Industrial Space Demand Forecast, released today.

Industrial net absorption is forecast to decline to negative 141 million square feet in Q3 2020. Net absorption is forecast to remain negative after Q3, with negative absorption of approximately 72 million square feet in Q4 2020 and 27 million square feet in Q1 2021.
