The metric, which is calculated by dividing the square feet absorbed by the total inventory in a market, helps better understand the impact of industrial activity on a market, said Jennifer Suhr, associate director of industrial and logistics research at CBRE.

As an example, the Savannah, Georgia market had a net absorption of 16M sq. ft and market size of 104M, resulting in a 15.8% growth rate in 2022. Meanwhile, Houston had almost twice as much space absorbed, but its larger market size contributes to a lower growth rate.
