WRI’s assessment

Denmark’s Logistics Growth Index fell to 52.8 in October 2026, a 1.7-point decline that kept the index in expansion but took it below its three-month average. The pullback was driven by tightening warehouse space, after one report had Copenhagen vacancy rates falling in the third quarter, and by a fall in business sentiment in October.

“Logistics growth in Denmark slowed in October as business sentiment fell and one report pointed to tighter warehouse space in Copenhagen in the third quarter. Business activity still appeared to expand, with manufacturers expecting production to rise.”
