Q4 2019 Industrial Quarterly Newsletter

TKO Miller Market Analysis 

• A strong U.S. economy is expected to contribute to demand for the construction and maintenance of manufacturing structures, fueling industry growth. The industry faces long-term risks, however, including the availability of existing manufacturing space, high interest rates, and higher borrowing costs due to increases in the yield on the 10-year Treasury note. 
• Government policy is expected to contribute to industry growth, with the federal government agreeing to spend $2 trillion on infrastructure investments over the next ten years. However, political uncertainties going into 2020 and the continued threat of tariffs have the potential to outweigh any gains from federal policy. 
• Despite the uncertainty generated by an election year, TKO Miller expects seller favorable conditions and buyer appetite to persist in 2020 as construction spending continues to rise due to support from the commercial sector.
