European City Logistics: Adapting to a post-pandemic World

Verena Bauer • 07/02/2024

Cities – and city logistics – continue to evolve in the post-pandemic environment. And with them, city logistics real estate strategies are also evolving. For occupiers, developers and investors, it’s crucial to understand what has changed – and what hasn’t – and how these and other factors affect locational and operational decisions for city logistics, both now and in the future.

Overview
Online retail sales in Europe as a whole are expected to increase by 42% between 2022 and 2027. The already long-term rising trend is set to continue. Considering that the volume of German online retail in 2023 was around 52% higher than in 2015, The magnitude of the challenges urban logistics has already faced and will continue to face is clear. How will delivery continue to function in future, in increasingly dense and congested urban centres? Factors such as city size and geography, population distribution and expected demand for parcel movements are decisive here. And these vary from city to city - resulting in considerable differences for optimum logistics locations.
 
The basis for the location decision is the trade-off between ‘cost-to-serve’ and delivery times as well as customer service. This applies both to the number of properties and their placement locally - on the outskirts of the city, in the city centre or a combination of both. A quick perusal of this study provides an initial orientation.
