The current hesitancy of the supply sector and mechanical engineering is being offset by strong- er demand from other sectors – primarily retail and e-commerce.

Logistics service providers have a correspondingly high take-up, accounting for ap- prox. 60% between them in 2019, and taking up 101,800 sqm for their supplies to industry (2018: 73%; approx. 145,400 sqm).
