Detailed industry overview

Overall picture of the warehouse real estate market

Market size and growth

The market of high-quality warehouse space (Class A and B) in Kazakhstan is actively growing. According to consulting agencies, significant volumes of new warehouse facilities have been commissioned in recent years, especially in Almaty, Astana, and Aktobe. The majority of new warehouse space in Central Asia is concentrated in Kazakhstan.
The shortage of modern, high-class warehouses remains high, with vacancy rates at extremely low levels (approximately 1–3%).
Strong growth in warehouse real estate is driven by the development of e-commerce and cross-border trade. These factors stimulate demand for logistics and warehouse facilities capable of providing high service levels and fast turnover of goods.

Growth drivers

Growth in e-commerce volumes and the presence of marketplaces operated by Russian and international platforms.
Growth of domestic consumption and urbanization.

Warehouse construction technologies

Modern warehouse construction in Kazakhstan is increasingly focused on efficiency, standardization, and technological advancement. Key trends include:

Innovative construction technologies

Use of modular structures and prefabricated elements to accelerate construction timelines.
Application of energy-efficient materials to improve building operational performance.
Integration of engineering systems with automated climate control and security systems.

Impact of technology on economics

New construction technologies help reduce both construction costs and operating expenses of warehouses.
This makes projects more attractive to investors, especially when developing logistics parks that meet international standards.

Warehouse process automation

Automation is a key trend aimed at increasing efficiency, accuracy, and speed of operations.

Key technologies

1. WMS (Warehouse Management Systems)

Warehouse management systems provide real-time planning, tracking, and analysis of operations, integrating with corporate IT systems.
In Kazakhstan, both international vendor solutions (SAP EWM, Oracle, Manhattan, etc.) and local/regional products are used.

2. ERP and integrations

WMS is often integrated with ERP/CRM systems, improving data transparency and synchronization between departments.

3. RFID and barcoding

RFID, barcode scanning, and data collection terminals speed up inventory processes and minimize errors.

4. Robotics and AGVs

Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and robotic solutions are beginning to be implemented in large logistics hubs (Almaty, Astana, Shymkent) for cargo movement and order picking, reducing reliance on manual labor.

Examples of WMS solutions on the Kazakhstan market

Qguar WMS Pro — a logistics solution supporting RFID, voice picking, and other modern technologies.
1C:WMS — a widely used warehouse management system in the region, regularly presented at industry exhibitions in Kazakhstan.
Third-party solutions adapted to the specifics of the Kazakhstan market (Omniful, etc.).

Storage systems and innovative solutions

Modern storage systems

Automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS) provide high storage density, faster access to goods, and minimize errors.
Mechanized and robotic racking solutions increase efficiency through automated cargo movement.
Internet of Things (IoT) and environmental sensors for monitoring temperature, humidity, and safety conditions. These technologies are especially relevant for pharmaceuticals and food products.

Cargo handling

In academic research, the modernization of cargo handling technologies is considered a key factor in improving logistics efficiency and order fulfillment.

Challenges and barriers to development

Despite positive trends, the market faces several challenges:

Market fragmentation and the lack of unified quality standards for warehouse infrastructure in the region.
Limited access to financing for large-scale technological projects.
A shortage of qualified personnel capable of working with high-tech warehouse systems.
