Sweden Logistics Market Figures Q1 2026

The Swedish logistics sector recorded a solid performance in Q1 2026. Transaction volume reached approximately SEK 12.2 billion — an increase of 116% year-on-year — making it the largest sector during the quarter with a 31% share of total volume. The increase was largely driven by a single transaction: Catena's acquisition of 20 logistics properties from Urban Partners, accounting for approximately 53% of the sector’s quarterly volume.

While the sector continues to attract investor interest, the geopolitical climate remains a key factor to monitor. Although interest rate have increased since the outbreak of the war in Iran, it remains too early to assess the impact on the transaction market.

Some of the most notable transactions in the first quarter of 2026 include:

• Catena acquired 20 logistics properties from Urban Partners across Sweden, Denmark and Finland for approximately SEK 8.8 billion, of which the Swedish portion accounted for approximately SEK 6.5 billion and 444,000 sqm. The transaction also marking Catena's entry into the Finnish market.

• Logistea acquired a portfolio of six cross-dock terminals across Karlstad, Gävle, Skara, Växjö, Östersund and Halmstad for approximately SEK 587 million through a sale and leaseback with DSV.

• Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan and operating partner Fokus Nordic acquired five logistics properties across Sweden and Denmark from Urban Partners, totalling approximately 118,000 sq m, of which three properties are located in Sweden.
These transactions highlight sustained investor appetite for well-located, long-leased logistics assets with stable income profiles.
