Industrial Sector Overview
![Quanta - Iconography -_% Increase Quanta - Iconography -_% Increase](https://quantainvest.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Quanta-Iconography-_-Increase.png)
Most key performance metrics such as vacancy and rents at a national level continue to outperform historical averages and this trend is expected to continue throughout 2024.

The national vacancy rate for the industrial sector remains exceptionally low at just 1.0%, underscoring the high demand and limited supply within this market.
![Quanta - Iconography -_Income Quanta - Iconography -_Income](https://quantainvest.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Quanta-Iconography-_Income-300x300.png)
Industrial weighted net face rental growth was reported to be 21.5% in CY2023, remaining approximately 6 times greater than the 10-year annual average of 3.0%.
![Quanta - Iconography -_Commentary Quanta - Iconography -_Commentary](https://quantainvest.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Quanta-Iconography-_Commentary-300x300.png)
In response to heightened levels of occupier demand, CY 2023 produced the largest annual level of supply on record at 3.3 million square metres. However, this has done little to alleviate demand pressures, with over 80% of the supply completed being pre-committed.
