The Kuwait Warehousing Market is currently undersupplied despite established regional leaders like Agility, KGL Logistics, and City Group. Initial success for warehousing companies came from providing services to US military personnel in Kuwait, but the industry is expanding away from government contracts and increasingly focusing on businesses and households. Due to the government's initiatives to improve the logistics infrastructure, increased imports, the trend of outsourcing logistics, and the rising volume of logistics, the Kuwaiti warehousing market has been expanding steadily at a single digit CAGR. The Kuwaiti government's plans to invest in a number of strategic industries as part of the Kuwait Development Plan (KDP) have had a favourable effect on the market.
With total storage space growing at a double digit CAGR, the expansion of local businesses in the logistics sector indicates expanding industry potential in the nation. 3PL and e-commerce businesses are anticipated to fuel demand for logistics space, and strong leasing momentum is projected to continue throughout the year. Consolidation, growth by current companies, and entry of new competitors are key factors anticipated to drive demand across the nation. Operational efficiency is anticipated to increase when warehouse automation technologies like EDI, RFID, Human Centric Designs, and Drones are adopted more widely. A modernization and expansion plan for the airport has been established by the Kuwaiti government. Along with a series of projects for air navigation and communications facilities, it will also involve the construction of a new passenger terminal, an additional runway, the expansion and renovation of the two already in use, a second control tower, taxiways, various platforms, and the aeronautical authority's new administrative building.
The lockdown has impacted the manufacturing industry, distribution industry, operating plants, ports, and other sites because all facilities are closed, which is the cause of the sector's poor growth. Due to its global reach, the logistics industry has grown sophisticated. The effects of COVID on the warehouse will persist for a very long time. As COVID fluctuations and surges continue to appear in diverse parts of the world, the global supply chain and labour pool are finding it difficult to keep up. In this unstable environment, flexibility is essential for warehouses to survive. While demand in certain industries is falling sharply, it is rising in others due to a combination of an erratic supply chain and shifting consumer behaviour.
