The warehousing and storage sector in Portugal has shown significant volatility over the years, with substantial growth between 2013 to 2019. A notable drop occurred in 2020, likely influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic, followed by a rapid recovery in 2021. By 2023, the production value stood at 1680 million Euros, a 21.26% increase from the previous year. The forecasted data from 2024 onwards suggests consistent growth but at a slower average annual rate (CAGR) of 1.44%, culminating in an expected value of 1860 million Euros by 2028.
Key trends to watch for in the future include:
- Economic stability and its impact on sector growth.

- The influence of e-commerce on storage demands.
- Environmental regulations and sustainability practices.
- Potential disruptions from global supply chain challenges.
