Extended data

The reasons for the slowdown in investment growth in the warehousing industry mainly include the following aspects:

First, first-and second-tier cities clean up low-end non-compliant traditional warehouses. ?

Second, the rising land price in cities and the high investment cost in the construction of storage facilities have seriously affected the operating efficiency of storage enterprises and reduced their operating resilience. ?

Third, the construction land of urban storage facilities is becoming increasingly tense, and the supply of storage land in most cities is scarce. ?

Fourth, industry investment has turned to functional perfection, informationization and intelligence (cloud warehousing, big data and Internet of Things), which has led to a slowdown in investment growth.
