Demand for industrial assets has returned to Europe on the back of a steady but fragmented recovery in the European logistics and industrial sectors. King Sturge estimates that Euros 10.7bn was invested in European logistics and industrial property in 2010, a 55% improvement on 2009 but only two-thirds of the 2007 peak of Euros 29bn. Colliers International has published similar figures: Euros 10.6bn in 2010, a 54% increase on 2009, with currently 65% in only three countries: France, Germany and the UK. Jones Lang LaSalle research has named the UK, Germany and Norway as 2010's largest industrial property investment markets with the UK taking up 35% of the total volume.
