India has emerged as APAC’s largest logistics hub: CBRE

According to CBRE’s latest survey titled, India Logistics Occupier Survery 2025, India is quickly emerging as the most preferred warehousing destination in the Asia-Pacific region, as nearly 70 per cent of APAC occupiers plan to expand their logistics footprint in the country over the next two years. It highlights strong occupier confidence in India’s industrial and logistics (I&L) sector. The growing intent is a reflection of shifting global supply chain strategies, a surge in domestic consumption, and the availability of advanced logistics infra. The survey was conducted between March and April 2025 and gathered over 380 responses from logistics occupiers across the Asia-Pacific region, including over 100 from India-based firms. More than 80% of India-based occupiers, including both domestic and multinational corporations, expressed plans to expand their warehousing operations in the country over the next two years, signaling long-term optimism and continued investment momentum. This comes despite prevailing macroeconomic uncertainties, indicating India’s strong resilience and rising strategic importance in the global supply chain ecosystem.
