The industrial property market in France

According to Arthur Loyd, less than €1.2 billion was invested in logistics property in France between January and September 2026, a fall of about 50% over one year, including nearly €760 million in the third quarter. The consultancy expects between €2.0 billion and €2.3 billion for the whole of 2026. The prime logistics yield, 5.15% in January 2026, is estimated at between 5.25% and 5.50%.

According to ImmoStat, take-up of business premises in Île-de-France reached 676,700 m² between January and September 2026, up 1% over one year, after a 2025 total of 861,000 m² (- 24%). Transactions above 1,000 m² account for 69% of it, and second-hand premises for 82%. The Île-de-France industrial property market is therefore still driven by existing stock more than by new buildings.

The industrial property market in France brings together occupiers (manufacturers, logistics operators, retailers), investors and property companies, developers and commercial property consultancies. On the demand side, Amazon accounts for 20% of French logistics take-up since January 2026, according to Arthur Loyd. On the advisory side, the Cushman & Wakefield agency in Rennes makes more than half of its business in logistics, according to Le Journal des Entreprises (April 2026).

Energy renovation and rooftop solar are transforming industrial property in France. According to Les Echos (June 2025), fewer than 5% of the 680,000 French commercial and industrial rooftops are fitted with solar. According to Le Moniteur (November 2025), Technip Energies cut the greenhouse gas emissions of its buildings by 41% between 2021 and 2024, notably by renovating its plant in Sens (Yonne).

Reindustrialisation is creating demand for land and buildings in industrial property in France. According to Arthur Loyd, €24.5 billion was announced in green industry in 2025, across 463 announcements (+ 13% over one year), 60% of them outside the major cities. The Direction générale des Entreprises (DGE, the French government’s business directorate) certified 13 turnkey sites in four months after the scheme changed in April 2026, covering 389 hectares in seven regions.
