Light Industrial Markt erholt sich deutlich
A transaction volume of €830 million, a 21 per cent increase in space turnover and a new regional leading position: the market for light industrial real estate showed a clear recovery in the first half of 2025, according to the half-year report from our Light Industrial Initiative.
After months of investor caution, the market is picking up again. Production properties recorded the strongest growth, with investment volume increasing almost sixfold.
There have also been regional changes: the South region has replaced the Rhine-Ruhr conurbation as the frontrunner. In terms of demand for space, the eastern region surprised with the highest market share, driven largely by the start of construction of TSMC in Dresden.

The ‘5% study - where investing is still worthwhile’ celebrates its tenth anniversary. Since the first edition was published, the German property market has tarnished its reputation as a safe investment haven. Higher yields are now within sight, even for prime properties, and even residential property is increasingly becoming a profitable asset class again. The market is more exciting than it has been for a long time
