How big is the warehousing demand projected to be by 2034?

The demand for warehousing in India is projected to exceed 100 million sq. ft. annually by 2034—a significant increase from the current absorption rates of around 60–65 million sq. ft. Key growth drivers include:

• E-commerce expansion requiring robust storage networks for order fulfillment.
• Urbanization boosting consumption in tier-2 and tier-3 cities.
• The manufacturing push through initiatives like Make in India and PLI schemes increasing demand for modern storage solutions.
• The rise of third-party logistics (3PL) providers offering integrated solutions to companies with asset-light models.

This growth is further supported by infrastructure enhancements such as Dedicated Freight Corridors and Multi-Modal Logistics Parks. These trends position India’s warehousing market for rapid transformation over the next decade.
