Portside warehouse demand is slumping even as cargo volumes grow, Cushman & Wakefield reports. Through July, imports at the 10 major U.S. maritime ports rose 0.5% year over year to over 14.5 million TEU — yet companies are storing goods elsewhere: inland markets captured 83% of U.S. industrial net absorption in the first half of 2026, their highest share since 2010, thanks to lower labor, rent, and energy costs.

Logistics activity accelerated in September

Logistics activity expanded at its fastest pace in four years this September, with the Logistics Managers' Index climbing 3.6 points to 70.2 on tight warehousing and transportation capacity. Inventory levels grew faster while warehouse capacity contracted at its fastest rate in four years (39.3), as most stock sits upstream with wholesalers ahead of the mid-October push to retailers for peak season. With inventory costs at 79.9 — the third-highest in two years — shippers and warehouse operators should brace for continued cost pressure through the holidays.

Solar Puts Warehouse Rooftop to Work

3PL Europa Worldwide has teamed up with Prologis to install rooftop solar panels at its Dartford warehouse, the company's European road freight hub. The UK Warehousing Association estimates warehouse rooftops could deliver 17.3 GW of solar capacity, yet research across more than 300 sites found just five per cent have panels installed. Grid connection delays, structural limits, insurance, lease restrictions and landlord-tenant misalignment remain the key barriers to wider adoption.
