One of the discernible effects of the pandemic has been a noticeable shift in consumer habits. Lockdowns allowed digital platforms to play a significant role<\/strong> in both B2B and B2C markets. This growth in e-commerce, in turn, led to an increase in the demand for industrial warehouses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the report by the Mexican Association of Online Sales (AMVO)<\/strong>, e-commerce in Mexico grew by 27% in 2021. Consequently, it accounted for 11.3% of total retail sales<\/strong>. With this, the country reestablished itself among the top five countries with the highest growth in online retail worldwide.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Effects of E-commerce Growth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Focusing on Mexico, the surge in e-commerce had significant effects on the country’s economic growth, including creating more jobs.<\/strong> E-commerce has accelerated and boosted the Mexican economy in general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The acceleration of commercial activity<\/strong> in various sectors such as food delivery, fashion, and the sale of electronic products <\/strong>has given a fresh impetus to the country’s commerce, especially in the capital. This growth is projected to continue, benefiting the industry as a whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, one of the effects of the rise in e-commerce is the increased demand for industrial warehouses for rent.<\/strong> Currently, it is estimated that the city of Mexico alone accounts for 34% of online sales. This has created a need for spaces to carry out product storage and dispatch operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, some development companies have begun exploring the conversion of old industrial warehouses<\/strong> into spaces adapted to their logistics operations and business operational requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Growth in Industrial Warehouse Demand<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This landscape explains the changes that the industrial real estate sector<\/strong> has undergone because of digital commerce. According to figures from Solili, between January and December 2022, the demand for industrial warehouses in Mexico City amounted to 1.4 million square meters.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Naturally, this new demand presents a challenge for the sector. Consequently, various developers begun converting spaces that were becoming obsolete in terms of functionality, transforming them into industrial warehouses.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, other projects that were already under construction have been expedited. As a result, by the end of November 2022, there were 640,000 square meters<\/strong> of industrial space in the process of being built. This represents a 25% increase compared to the previous year.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2023, it is expected that the metropolitan area of Mexico City will continue to develop its e-commerce sector and attract investments related to supply chain reconfiguration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
