At the beginning of the year, the industrial sector in Mexico began to show signs of slowdown. National demand for new space fell more than 25% between January and April compared to the same period last year, and new development starts fell 15%, according to data from Solili.

Against this backdrop, Real Estate Investment Trusts (Fibras) maintained solid occupancy levels and rising rents, supported by strategies focused on long-term contracts, dollarized rents, and selective acquisitions.

Demand began to adjust and stabilize after periods of high growth, explained Solili's market research manager, Andrés Mijangos. He also noted that significant investments in the sector remain, but the sector has entered a period of adjustment.

For their part, the Fibras have opted to reconfigure their growth by adapting strategies to acquire already occupied properties, which has been a safer path to growth than building from scratch.

In the last 12 months, the Fibras have been active in the acquisition of industrial space, highlighting transactions such as the purchase of Terrafina by Prologis and other smaller companies such as Fibra MTY in Guanajuato.
