The demand for logistics and industrial spaces reached 750,000 sq. m during the first 9 months of this year, an increase of 30% compared with the same period of 2024, according to the Romania Industrial Marketbeat Q3 2025 report.
Over 235,000 square meters were contracted, a level higher than the volume recorded in the same period last year. However, the transactional volume is on a slightly decreasing trend, compared with the second quarter.
The net take-up had a share of 60% in the overall leasing volume in the first 9 months, while in Q3 renewals accounted for 52% of the volume transacted, highlighting the tendency of tenants to carefully evaluate existing options and maximize cost efficiency of a possible relocation.
Bucharest remains the preferred destination for companies in search of industrial and logistics spaces, having a share of almost 75% of the Q1-Q3 transacted volume (560.000 sq. m), while Timisoara (75,100 sq. m), Craiova (16,000 sq. m) and Cluj (15,000 sq. m) have been the most active regional markets.

The two largest transactions concluded in Q3 were both renewals (76,000 sq. m and 27,000 sq. m, respectively) and involving spaces in CTPark Bucharest West near the A1 motorway, the major industrial hub in Romania.
The ranking of the largest spaces transacted in Q3 2025 also includes an expansion contract of15,000 sq. m in WDP Park Stefanești and a pre-lease transaction of 14,500 sq. m in Craiova Business Park.
