United States Commercial Real Estate Market Growth Factors

The continued growth of e-commerce is one of the key drivers of the US commercial real estate market, particularly in the industrial and logistics sector. The e-commerce market size in the United States amounted to USD 1,236.5 Billion in 2025, driving the demand for larger warehouse footprints closer to urban areas and their consumers. Retailers are investing in large regional distribution and smaller last-mile facilities to enable omnichannel distribution and meet same-day and next-day delivery requirements. Warehouses are also growing to accommodate these demands, and retailers are investing in automated warehouses and those designed for improved loading, unloading and consolidation.

Long-term demographic shifts to southern and southwestern economies for climate, lower state taxes, cheaper housing and job growth, continue to create opportunities across the commercial real estate property sectors from households and businesses migrating out of higher-cost coastal markets. Demand for multifamily and retail space is coming from these higher-growth southern and southwestern metropolitan areas and also for office space. The presence of a larger consumer base, and the migration of corporations to business friendly states, are also cyclical phenomena of industrial development, which creates employment, housing, and retail demands and vice versa.

The expansion of artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and digital transformation has led to greater demand for data centers and technology-enabled commercial real estate. The United States AI market size was USD 41,532.7 Million in 2025. The rising demand for computing power is leading to rapid growth in hyperscale data centers, with technology companies investing heavily. To attract technology tenants, commercial real estate investors are embedding smart building technology, energy management and advanced connectivity within their properties. The growth of the digital economy requires buildings to be fitted with advanced technology infrastructure and energy solutions to meet tenant demand.
