New industrial supply in Adelaide is building (+38% year-on-year). A rising pipeline is the risk to watch: more product competing for the same tenants pressures rents and values.

Precinct by precinct

Across 69 Adelaide industrial precincts, the current tilt is 10 tightening · 25 demand-led · 24 quiet · 10 oversupply risk (median supply change +6% year-on-year). This is a stock-picker's market: the pressure is uneven, not uniform.

Watch (oversupply risk): Adelaide Hills, Unley, Norwood - Payneham - St Peters, Willunga

The sector backdrop

Some softening already priced in; income carries the return. Industrial cap rates sit around 5.40% on our national read. Conditions are neutral / transitional on our macro read.

Cap rate = the yearly income as a share of price (a higher number is cheaper). The number above is a market read; where our model puts fair value, and the five-year return forecast, are in the report.
