Oxfordshire Industrial Databook - August 2026

The slowdown in logistics activity seen in Oxfordshire in 2025 continued into the first half of this year with the result that industrial take-up fell to 234,900 sq ft. Instead, the busiest part of the market were units between 10-30,000 sq ft, driven by growing demand from defence, deep tech and motorsport. Availability remained low at 5.7% at mid-year. We expect prime rents for standard industrial and mid-tech units to be stable this year at £21.00 psf and £32.50 psf, respectively, but to then increase from 2027 onwards.
