Tenant-favorable markets in APAC expected to moderate as conditions tighten
Supply-constrained markets – Australia, Japan and Singapore are seeing rising competition
54% of global markets and 60% of APAC markets expect rental growth, reinforcing upward pricing pressure
HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 3 July 2026 – Asia Pacific’s logistics markets are entering a more complex phase, with divergence across the region increasingly shaping both occupier strategy and investor positioning. According to Cushman & Wakefield’s Waypoint 2026 report, APAC remains the most tenant‑favorable region globally, with 47% of markets favoring occupiers, up from 33% in 2025, although conditions vary significantly as supply and demand dynamics continue to diverge across markets.
The report reveals that the Chinese mainland industrial and logistics market is currently characterized by tenant-favorable conditions driven by abundant supply and softer occupier demand. Significant levels of vacant stock across China’s regional markets have reduced landlord pricing power, resulting in downward pressure on rents and heightened tenant leverage. On the other hand, China remains cost-competitive globally — with relatively low rental and labor costs supporting its position as a major manufacturing hub.
Looking ahead, the Chinese mainland market is expected to remain under supply pressure in the near term, with vacancy rates likely to rise further as new supply continues to outpace occupier demand growth. Nevertheless, despite near-term challenges, both landlords and tenants remain optimistic about the long-term fundamentals of the mainland China logistics market in lease negotiations.
Tony Su, Managing Director and Head of Industrial & Logistics Services, China, Cushman & Wakefield, noted:” The overall premium logistics warehouse market in the Chinese mainland maintained a stable trajectory. On the supply-demand side, landlords prioritized renewal quality and long-term asset value, favoring stable tenants such as manufacturers, while remaining cautious toward long-term leases at low rates. Tenants, in contrast, remained highly price-sensitive and valued expansion flexibility. Despite certain divergences in leasing strategies, both sides are negotiating based on an optimistic outlook for the market, reflecting a gradual recovery of confidence in the premium logistics warehouse sector.”
APAC: Markets diverse, SEA emerging as a key growth hub
Supply‑constrained markets such as Australia, Japan and Singapore are experiencing increasing competition for space, with vacancy expected to decline as development pipelines remain limited. This is reflected in wider regional trends, where 43% of APAC markets are expected to see vacancy decline over the next three years, reflecting a gradual tightening of market conditions. In contrast, more tenant‑friendly conditions persist in parts of India and on the Chinese mainland, where higher levels of new supply continue to provide occupiers with greater flexibility. Across APAC, around a third of markets are expected to see vacancy rise amid ongoing development activity.
This divergence is reinforcing a market‑by‑market approach across the region. For landlords, aligning assets with high‑growth sectors such as e‑commerce, manufacturing, high‑tech and automotive, while ensuring buildings can support power demand and automation, is becoming increasingly important.
Dennis Yeo, Head of Investor Services and Logistics & Industrial, Asia Pacific, Cushman & Wakefield, said: “Different markets across APAC are experiencing different stages of growth, fueled by resilient occupier demand led by e-commerce and manufacturing. Supply constraints in markets such as Japan and Australia are driving competition, meanwhile continued availability in China and India is creating opportunity.”
Demand across APAC continues to be anchored by e‑commerce and manufacturing, alongside ongoing supply chain diversification, with Southeast Asia emerging as a key growth hub. Markets such as Vietnam, Indonesia and Thailand are seeing strengthening occupier activity driven by production shifts and regionalization strategies, while high‑tech and automotive sectors remain important sources of demand across North Asia. This is reinforcing the importance of modern, well‑located and future‑ready logistics facilities that can support evolving operational and technological requirements.
Global outlook: tightening conditions and rising costs
Globally, the report shows tenant‑favorable conditions declining from 52% in 2026 to 33% by 2029 as vacancy tightens and supply remains constrained, while landlord‑favorable markets are projected to rise from 26% to 39%, signalling a broader shift in market balance. At the same time, demand for high‑quality, strategically located assets continues to strengthen as businesses redesign supply chains to mitigate geopolitical, trade and climate risks, with global logistics rents now 36% above 2020 levels and 54% of markets expected to see rental growth over the next three years.
In the Americas, logistics markets are expected to see the most pronounced shift towards landlord‑favorable conditions as supply and demand rebalance across key U.S. hubs, while nearshoring continues to support demand in Mexico.
In EMEA, tightening vacancy alongside constrained development pipelines is narrowing occupier flexibility, while elevated energy costs are increasingly shaping location decisions and driving demand for energy‑efficient logistics assets.
Dr. Dominic Brown, Head of International Research, Cushman & Wakefield, said:“The next phase of the logistics cycle will be defined by preparedness. Businesses that embed resilience into their real estate strategies, through smarter use of technology, automation and energy‑secure assets, will be far better placed to navigate disruption and capture long‑term growth.”

Strategic Partnerships to Build a Regional AIGC Ecosystem
One of the forum’s major highlights was the signing of strategic cooperation agreements between Omirol AI and six organizations, including the Southeast Asia Research Center for Humanities(SEARCH), TAR UMT (Tunku Abdul Rahman University of Management and Technology), the animated feature film “Nanyang Volunteers”, ZIVO AI and Do Drama. The collaborations cover AI education, content marketing, production, distribution, and ecosystem development.
Among them, the strategic partnership with China’s V-Valley – Malanshan Video Cultural & Creative Industrial Park marked the most significant milestone. Ms. Zhou Jing, Vice Chairman of the Malanshan Global Expansion Alliance and Chairman of Fuhui Media Group, attended the forum in Kuala Lumpur to deliver a keynote speech and sign the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). The agreement officially establishes a long-term strategic partnership between China’s national-level digital cultural industry cluster and Southeast Asia’s first native AIGC ecosystem platform. Both parties will collaborate across digital content creation, AI talent development, industrial resource sharing, and international cultural exchange to accelerate the coordinated development of the China–Malaysia digital creative industry.
Building an Open and Sustainable AI Ecosystem
During her keynote speech, Ms. Zhou Jing noted that Malanshan has rapidly evolved from a leading video content industrial park into one of China’s most important hubs for the integration of digital content and artificial intelligence. The recently established Malanshan Global Expansion Alliance brings together over 30 leading Chinese organizations, including Mango TV, Central South Publishing & Media Group, Hunan International Channel, CBG Tianze, AI technology companies, and international communication institutions, forming a comprehensive ecosystem covering content production, AI technologies, international distribution, and cross-border services. She emphasized that the future competition in AI will not simply be about who owns the most advanced technology, but about who can build an open, collaborative, and sustainable industry ecosystem. With a population exceeding 700 million and rich cultural diversity, Southeast Asia represents one of the world’s fastest-growing digital content markets and an important strategic destination for China’s cultural and creative industries.
Six Key Areas of Collaboration
According to the signed Memorandum of Understanding, Omirol AI and Malanshan will jointly promote practical cooperation across six major initiatives:
China–Malaysia AIGC Joint Training Academy Develop AI filmmaking and digital content creation programs with Malaysian universities such as TAR UMT by leveraging Malanshan’s educational resources and industry expertise.
Cross-border Licensed IP Resource Library Establish a shared IP ecosystem covering film, animation, tourism, cultural heritage, and digital assets to support AI-generated short dramas, animation, and creative productions.

Global Content Distribution Network Expand international distribution channels for original Omirol AI content while supporting the localization and commercialization of premium Chinese digital content across Southeast Asia.
China–Malaysia AI Short Drama Competition Jointly organize an international AI short drama competition, accompanied by incubation programs and funding initiatives to cultivate globally competitive Southeast Asian IP.
Industry Collaboration & Investment Platform Establish regular China–Malaysia AI industry matchmaking events to promote technology exchange, global AIGC OPC community, project collaboration, and cross-border investment between enterprises from both countries.
Omirol AI: Building Southeast Asia’s Native AIGC Creaation Ecosystem
Speaking at the signing ceremony, Ms. Joyin He Jiaying, Founder and CEO of Omirol AI, said:
“Omirol is built to be the infrastructure of Southeast Asia. Our vision goes beyond providing AI tools—we aim to build an open ecosystem connecting creators, universities, enterprises, and industry resources, empowering Southeast Asia to become one of the world’s leading hubs for digital content innovation.” She added that Omirol AI has already integrated with China’s ‘LaiShu Processing’ pilot infrastructure in Shantou and is exploring collaboration with Inspur Information (Shantou) to significantly reduce token costs for Southeast Asian users.
Combined with the joint China–Malaysia technical team established together with FSBM and Malanshan’s mature AIGC industry resources, Omirol AI aims to deliver a fully localized, one-stop
AIGC ecosystem tailored to creators, businesses, and educational institutions across Southeast Asia.
A New Model for Cross-border AI Industry Collaboration
As the global AIGC industry shifts from competition in individual technologies to competition between complete ecosystems, integrated capabilities in AI platforms, content creation, IP commercialization, talent cultivation, and international distribution are becoming the key drivers of long-term competitiveness. Industry observers believe this partnership represents more than a business collaboration—it marks the first systematic integration of China’s mature digital content industry with Southeast Asia’s emerging AI innovation ecosystem. By combining technology, content, talent, and industrial collaboration, China and Malaysia are jointly pioneering a scalable model for international AIGC cooperation that could become a benchmark for the future development of Southeast Asia’s digital creative economy.
COLOGNE, GERMANY – Media OutReach Newswire – 3 July 2026 – As spoga+gafa opens its doors in Cologne, Yosemite Robotics is returning to Europe with Lawnova, its own robotic mower brand, and a second-generation lineup designed to move the category beyond wire-free mowing toward boundary setup-free outdoor automation.
Powered by Yosemite Robotics’ NovaMind 3.0 platform, Lawnova uses AI vision, AI reasoning, and autonomous lawn mapping to help identify lawn boundaries, understand complex garden environments, and reduce the manual setup traditionally required through app-based configuration. Its four-series portfolio — S, X, P, and G — spans entry-level residential mowing, all-terrain residential use, commercial landscaping, and golf-course applications.
The commercial case for robotic mowing is strengthening. Europe’s landscaping sector is facing structural workforce pressure, while EU emissions rules and sustainability-driven procurement trends are supporting the shift toward lower-emission and battery-powered outdoor equipment. According to Mordor Intelligence, the European robotic lawn mower market is projected to reach USD 635.8 million in 2026, growing at a 7.32% CAGR through 2031.
With more than 15 years of accumulated AI and robotics expertise and over five years of formal robotic mower R&D, Yosemite Robotics has built its platform around AI-powered perception, high-precision positioning, and multi-sensor fusion. The X Series combines RTK positioning, LiDAR, IMU, and computer vision with an NVIDIA Orin computing platform delivering 40–67 TOPS. According to the company’s technology roadmap, the platform supports 2–3 cm positioning accuracy, object and boundary recognition, autonomous mapping, and path planning.
The company is also developing natural language interaction capabilities, allowing operators to issue task-based commands such as “mow the backyard but avoid the flower beds.” According to Yosemite Robotics’ technology roadmap, the system combines cloud-based model support with local inference, enabling certain decisions to be processed on-device, including in offline environments. CEO Jack Li describes the longer-term direction as embodied intelligence — machines that can perceive outdoor environments, understand user intent, and move beyond simply following pre-programmed paths.
For European distributors and industry buyers, Lawnova’s return to spoga+gafa signals a broader shift: AI-powered outdoor robotics is moving from early automation toward more intelligent, adaptive lawn-care platforms.
