Prologis Powers $3.2 Trillion in Global Trade and Supports 3.6 Million Jobs
New report underscores company's critical role in the global economy
SAN FRANCISCO, July 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Prologis, Inc. (NYSE: PLD) today released a new report from Oxford Economics on the company's global economic impact, revealing that nearly $3.2 trillion worth of goods flowed through a Prologis warehouse in 2024, which is equivalent to 2.9% of the world's gross domestic product (GDP). The report also found that operations across the company's 1.3 billion square foot portfolio supported 3.6 million jobs worldwide and contributed $348 billion to the global economy (either direct, indirect or induced from impacts of Prologis operations).
Other key findings from the 2024 Future Flow of Goods report include:
- Economic activity in Prologis warehouses generated $77 billion in global tax revenues.
- Mexico (+91%) and Canada (+47%) saw some of the biggest employment gains, with Prologis direct warehouse jobs up 8% globally since 2022.
"Our customers depend on fast, reliable logistics to meet the needs of their businesses and communities," said Hamid R. Moghadam, Prologis' co-founder, chairman and CEO. "We're the critical link that keeps goods, services and local economies moving."
This year's report also includes impact data for the 22 states in which Prologis operates in the United States, where goods moving through Prologis warehouses totaled $2 trillion. Other highlights include:
- California led all states with $465 billion in throughput, supporting 162,000 direct jobs and generating a $54 billion total GDP impact across direct, indirect and induced channels.
- Texas ranked second, with $273 billion in goods moving through Prologis warehouses and more than 223,000 total jobs across the three channels of impact.
- Illinois, Georgia and Pennsylvania also stood out, each with over $100 billion in throughput and tens of thousands of direct jobs.
The Future Flow of Goods report is produced in collaboration with Oxford Economics. First published in 2017, this is the fourth installment of the report, reflecting Prologis' growing footprint. The study estimates the throughput of goods through Prologis warehouses, the direct employment of workers in Prologis warehouses and the total economic impact of the activity of those workers across the direct (in the warehouses themselves), indirect (full supply chain) and induced (economic activity supported by spending out of wages) channels.
The report also shows that Prologis' impact stretches far beyond the walls of its warehouses, fueling supply chains, boosting local economies and supporting millions of jobs through its customers' operations.
"Our logistics facilities are engines of economic activity," said Dan Letter, president of Prologis. "They support jobs, enable business growth and help communities thrive — the ripple effects are real."
