Romania’s industrial and logistics market delivered a record performance in 2025, with gross take-up surpassing 1.2 million sqm and net take-up reaching nearly 700,000 sqm. Demand was led by retail & consumer goods occupiers and 3PL operators, followed by manufacturing and light industry, with activity supported by a mix of renewals, pre-leases and expansion deals across the main logistics hubs.
On the supply side, new deliveries slowed, marking the lowest annual completion level of the past six years, while total modern stock still expanded to around 8.16 million sqm. Vacancy stood at about 4.3% at the end of Q4, remaining at relatively low levels overall, and prime headline rents were broadly stable around €4.75/sqm/month in Bucharest & Ilfov.
At the same time, the development pipeline increased significantly, with roughly 498,000 sqm under construction — more than double year-on-year — indicating improved developer confidence and supporting continued market activity into 2026.
