Our latest Databook provides an update on the Oxfordshire Industrial Market

Oxfordshire's industrial market remained busy in the first half of 2025, thanks to its strategic location for distribution and its strength in high-tech manufacturing. Take-up totalled 194,900 sq ft, with a further 400,000 sq ft under offer at mid-year. The mid-box and smaller end of the market remained particularly active, with good demand from knowledge intensive businesses in advanced manufacturing, life science and R&D. We forecast that prime industrial rents in Oxfordshire will continue to increase over the next five years, given economic growth and limited new development.
