After two years marked by economic uncertainty and stagnation in private investment, Romania’s industrial construction sector is showing signs of recovery. According to the Colliers Q2 2025 report, demand for logistics spaces and industrial halls has increased by 12% compared to the same period in 2024, particularly in the Bucharest-Ilfov, Timiș, and Cluj regions.

The motivations behind this growth are multiple: the reconfiguration of supply chains, the need to expand local production capacities, and investors’ interest in relocating certain operations from Asia. At the same time, the government’s policy of supporting industrial parks through tax incentives and dedicated infrastructure is stimulating regional development.

The vacancy rate for industrial spaces has fallen to 4.1%, according to Cushman & Wakefield, while rental prices have remained stable at around €4.5 per square meter. However, challenges persist, mainly related to rising material costs and difficulties in recruiting specialized labor.

Forecasts for the end of the year indicate a moderate increase of 6–7% in the volume of industrial works, with a focus on green, automated, and energy-resilient projects.
