The warehouse market in the Szczecin region – West Pomeranian Voivodeship has been developing rapidly for several years. The Szczecin region benefits from access to the Baltic Sea basin, trade with Scandinavian countries, and the neighbourhood with Germany.
Many international companies in the Szczecin region decided to invest in warehouse space for production purposes as well as popularizing the so-called CBEC (cross-border e-commerce) trend, i.e. cross-border trade on the Internet. In 2023, new supply in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship accounted for 3% of the 3.7 million sq m of new supply in Poland.
In the Szcecin region, most of the modern production and logistics space is located around cities such as Szczecin, Goleniów, Stargard Szczeciński, Kołbaskowo, and Gryfin. These are cities located on the S3 and S10 expressways.
In the Szczecin region, the majority of developers — Panattoni, Prologis, Mapletree, Exeter, Waimea, and 7R— work in the warehouse sector.
Manufacturing companies, logistics operators, and smaller and larger e-commerce companies are active in the Szczecin region. At the end of 2023, gross demand was below 250,000 sq m. However, the vacancy rate of warehouse space remained at approximately 7.2%.
