Industrial Facility Rental Procurement Research Report Now Available from IBISWorld
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) December 15, 2013 -- Industrial facility rental has a buyer power score of 3.0 out of 5. This score reflects high demand driver volatility, rising price trends and high switching costs associated with industrial facility rentals. The industrial facility rental market was severely impacted by the recent global recession. “The fall in the number of US businesses led to the shuttering or offshoring of a substantial number of manufacturing operations, which sent the vacancy rate for industrial facilities higher,” says IBISWorld procurement analyst Andrew Rogers. “As a result, lessors of industrial facilities cut or froze rental prices to remain competitive and attract tenants.” Nevertheless, though negotiation power for renters was increased during the recession, the ongoing economic recovery has started to erode any gains experienced during the period.
The price of industrial facility rental is expected to rise further in the three years to 2016. The recovering economy is spurring growth in the number of US businesses, which is subsequently driving down vacancy rates for industrial facilities. Moreover, the turbulent real estate market has been stabilized by rising business activity, and many manufacturing operations that were shuttered or shipped abroad during the recession are restarting across the United States. Consequently, vacancy rates are quickly declining and prices are beginning to trend upward. “The renewed manufacturing activity is negative to renters because it has decreased facility vacancies and has driven up prices, creating fewer opportunities to negotiate lower rental rates,” adds Rogers. Renters of industrial facilities will benefit from an abundance of suppliers, as more participants can lead to greater facility selection. However, prices will be subject to market conditions and renters will likely have limited power in negotiations. Large players such as Prologis, CBRE Group and Jones Lang LaSalle maintain a substantial amount of market power due to their expansive geographic footprint and greater number of properties and financial resources.
Finally, because renting an industrial facility represents a long-term commitment, the negotiation power of renters is limited due to high switching costs. With contract lengths that average five years, renters are typically unable to switch locations without incurring substantial financial penalties. Moreover, many renters will be required to undertake significant renovations to industrial facilities to create a functional work space, and securing a new facility will likely require additional investment in construction.
