Short-term drop in exports due to disastersIn the third quarter of 2018, airport closure caused by natural disasters led to a dip in
exports. In addition, Japan’s GDP recorded a negative growth because of the
slowdown in consumer spending, along with a fall in inbound tourist spending. However,
we anticipate exports to rebound as the decline due to the disasters are likely to be
temporary. Moreover, in the logistics sector, operation cost continues to rise due to
manpower needs and the increase in energy price.
Demand expansion owing to the completion
of Gaikan Road Chiba Section continuesWhile retailers attempt to capture last-minute demand before the consumption tax rise,
seasonal demand such as reinforcement of delivery hub for year-end shipment stayed
firm in 4Q 2018. However, with supply-demand dynamics in equilibrium, rents remained
unchanged. Demand in the Chiba remains sustained after the completion of Gaikan
Road (Expressway). Signs of demand spillover from the Nagareyama area to Matsudo
area are observed as well.
Logistics sector moves to a new stageManpower shortage has prompted the logistics industry to develop new technologies
and these initiatives have started to come to fruition. Japan Post carried out drone
deliveries beyond visual range of up to 9 km in Fukushima while Hitachi Transport
System, DMM.com, Sagawa Express started 3D printing services in their collaborative
logistics facilities. In addition, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and
Tourism of Japan (MLIT) are working to bring in double-trailer trucks to usher the sector
to a new phase.
