Overall Account

There has been a decrease in the overall industrial stock in the territory since the 2014 Area

Assessments. The drop occurred in all zones except “OU(B)” (Figure 1). The net decrease
in IBs (-106 IBs) was mainly resulted from the exclusion of those IBs that had been
converted / redeveloped or are undertaking wholesale conversion/redevelopment to non-
industrial uses. The decrease in industrial land from about 509.7ha in 2014 to 480.9ha in

2020 (-28.8ha) was mainly due to rezoning for non-industrial uses. Tuen Mun, Kwai Chung
and Tsuen Wan, Fo Tan, Cheung Sha Wan and Eastern Kowloon are key suppliers, each
providing more than one million sq.m. industrial floorspace.
