JAKARTA, Agung Intiland News - Demand for modern warehouses in the Jabodetabek area continues to show a stable trend in early 2026 despite global economic conditions still being overshadowed by various uncertainties. The stability of logistics, manufacturing, and domestic distribution activities remains the main factors that maintain the absorption rate of warehouses in this area.
Several industry players believe that the warehousing sector still has strong fundamentals as it is an important part of the national supply chain.
The modern warehouse market in Jabodetabek is currently estimated to have a total supply of more than three million square meters spread across various main industrial corridors. Demand for warehouse space continues to come from various sectors such as:
Export-based manufacturing
FMCG industry
Third-party logistics companies (3PL)
Retail and e-commerce distribution
The stability of these sectors' activities makes Indonesian industrial warehouses still a necessary asset to support efficient goods distribution.
Geopolitical tensions and economic slowdowns in some major countries have made some investors more cautious about expansion. However, warehouse demand in Indonesia tends to remain stable due to strong domestic consumption.
With a large domestic market, the need for logistics and distribution facilities continues even though global economic conditions are not fully stable.
The western part of Jakarta remains one of the preferred locations for logistics and manufacturing industry players. Areas like Tangerang industrial zone have the advantage of accessibility as they are directly connected to the main toll road network and close to the national logistics center.
Proximity to Soekarno-Hatta Airport and Tanjung Priok Port is also a crucial factor in supporting regional and national distribution activities.
Amid dynamic global conditions, investors are now more selective in choosing warehouse locations. They consider not only rental prices but also other factors such as:
Transport connectivity
Readiness of the Area's infrastructure
Area security and management system
Long-term expansion potential
Industrial areas with complete facilities and professional management are considered to have a competitive advantage in attracting tenants.
Management of Laksana Business Park believes that the stable absorption of warehouses indicates that the Indonesian logistics sector still has positive prospects.
“Warehouse demand is driven not only by exports but also by the huge domestic distribution needs. Therefore, industrial areas with strong logistics access will remain the top choice for investors,” said a representative of Laksana Business Park management.
The modern warehouse market in Jabodetabek is expected to remain stable with more selective growth. Investors tend to choose industrial areas that already have ready-to-use infrastructure and good logistics connectivity.
This stability indicates that the warehousing sector remains an important part in supporting national industrial and trade activities. (JP)
