Modern logistics property is currently scarce across much of the Sub-Saharan region, but there is a growing need for high quality new development. Driven largely by the growth of Africa’s middle classes and the associated expansion of its consumer markets, there is rising demand for high quality logistics space from retailers and consumer goods manufacturers seeking to expand their African operations and improve distribution networks and supply chains.Poor transport infrastructure is an inhibitor to the growth of many African logistics markets, with road and rail links between key economic hubs remaining patchy.
