Logistics is growing alongside e-commerce

Recent years have not merely been a period of growth for the e-commerce industry, but a true revolution, one that was significantly accelerated by the pandemic. Interestingly, one of the fastest-growing segments of this market is currently e-grocery (food products), which is seeing double-digit increases in orders and online sales.

The market is also seeing a trend toward greater personalization and a growing focus on tenant satisfaction, as tenants seek solutions tailored to their specific needs within their respective industries. Modern warehouse facilities designed for the e-commerce sector are becoming increasingly automated. New technologies enable, for example, even faster order fulfillment and returns—customer experience and the speed of delivery are now key competitive advantages. We are observing growing demand for urban warehouses, which 7R is developing as part of the City Flex Last Mile Logistics network. We are currently preparing over 100,000 square meters of such space in key cities across Poland.

Another trend evident in the market is the growing interest in ESG issues, particularly in the area of environmental protection. Minimizing CO2 emissions and energy consumption has become essential for companies due to rising electricity and gas bills. The key factor is the growing awareness among tenants and investors, who are actively seeking to invest their capital and conduct their business in a sustainable and environmentally neutral manner.
