How India and Southeast Asia gain Momentum

With the global manufacturing landscape shifting, so are portfolios. While China has long been the manufacturing hub, corporations started diversifying: with India and Southeast Asia emerging as prime beneficiaries.

Recent data from JLL highlights a significant increase in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) for manufacturing in South and Southeast Asia, diverting from China.

Key drivers include:
- Supply chain diversification
- Large, young population & skilled labor pool
- Cost advantages
- Attractive governmental incentives

With India's population of 1.4 billion and Southeast Asia's 680 million, these regions offer immense potential. Furthermore, young demographics promise a dynamic workforce and growing consumer markets.

Both regions include well-established clusters in various industries, providing the infrastructure and ecosystem necessary for manufacturing success.

As this trend continues, corporations will continue to follow. It's crucial to reassess and adjust your real estate portfolio to capitalize on these emerging opportunities.

What's your take on this shift? How do you see it impacting global manufacturing and corporate real estate strategies?
