Arc Market Databook - Oxfordshire Industrial, spring 2021

In common with trends across the UK distribution and industrial market, activity in Oxford showed robust growth in 2020. Take-up was 43% ahead of the 10-year trend.

Distribution demand, further bolstered by the acceleration in online retailing as a result of the pandemic, formed much of this activity. However, the Oxfordshire market has also seen strong take up from the S&T sector with the biopharma, electric automotive engineering and space sectors all active during the latter months of 2020.
