A recent CBRE report highlights the growing influence of third-party logistics (3PL) providers in bulk industrial leasing, with their share increasing to 34.1% in 2024, up from 30.6% the previous year. The number of 3PL leases has risen by 9% year-to-date, totaling 498 leases. Key factors driving this trend include import flexibility, cost management, and enhanced supply chain resilience, allowing companies to adapt to disruptions. CBRE anticipates that 3PLs will continue to dominate the market, maintaining over 30% of bulk leasing activity in the near future.
