The average vacancy rate was 6.0%. Continued demand for industrial space will sustain rent growth and drive vacancy rates lower.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe expect that demand will continue to increase even if e-commerce does not match its blistering 2020 growth rate. E-commerce has a continued role to play, and last year likely signaled a structural shift in consumer preferences more than temporary changes in behavior. Retail as we knew it has changed, and in its place warehousing and distribution have increased in importance,\u201d say analysts. An improving global economy, ramped up trade volume and inventory replenishment for retailers will be additional drivers.<\/p>\n<p>Sector investment activity is healthy and growing as well. The fourth quarter of 2020 now has the highest sales volume of any quarter since Yardi Matrix began collecting industrial data, with $11.9 billion of sales completed. Properties fetched an average price per square foot of $100, an 18.2% increase year-over-year.
