A Critical Waypoint in the Global Economy

With over 1.3 billion square feet of logistics real estate across 20 countries, Prologis creates intelligent infrastructure that helps power global commerce. 

With its unique view into the interconnected nature of global trade, Prologis commissioned independent advisory firm Oxford Economics (OE) to conduct an economic impact analysis to examine how its business operations and its customers’ activity together contribute to the global economy. First published in 2017, this is the fourth installment of the report, reflecting Prologis’ growth and changes in the logistics real estate landscape. 

The 2024 report found that an estimated $3.2 trillion of goods produced or sold in the world went through Prologis facilities in 2024. This is equivalent to 4.1% of the GDP in the 19 countries1 in which Prologis operates or 2.9% of global GDP2.

2. Per Oxford Economics, it is important to note that GDP represents the total value of all final goods and services production. Some warehouses may be used to store intermediate goods (i.e. components used in the production of final goods), and of course services do not need to be stored, and a single good will often be stored in multiple warehouses on its way to final consumers.
