Romania’s industrial and logistics market posted a sharp increase in 2025, with total leasing demand reaching nearly 640,000 square meters in the first nine months of the year, up 64% compared with the same period of 2024, according to data from Colliers.

The shift marks a significant change in market dynamics, as companies have once again turned their attention toward the Bucharest–Ilfov region, after several years when regional hubs attracted stronger interest.

Bucharest takes the lead In the first three quarters of 2025, Bucharest and its surrounding areas saw lease agreements signed for around 450,000 square meters of logistics and industrial space, 62% above the five-year average and more than double the pre-pandemic level.

While the capital dominates, regional markets have also seen momentum. The north-east posted a remarkable 211% increase compared to its five-year average, while the south-east grew by 143%, largely supported by the construction of the A7 motorway and new infrastructure investments.
