A report by The Business Research Company forecasts significant growth in the self-storage industry. By 2030, the global self-storage sector is expected to be valued at 98.46 billion US dollars, with a compound annual growth rate of 7.6%.
In the UK last year, there was an over 7% increase in storage space, with total storage floor space exceeding 64 million square feet.
The report notes that the industry is adopting “smart storage” technology with automated management systems, enhancing operational efficiency and security.
There is increasing demand for climate-controlled storage systems that regulate humidity and temperature for delicate items that can be damaged in extreme weather or by moisture.
Self-storage facilities serve both private customers decluttering their homes and businesses storing essential documents, inventory and equipment.
There is a trend towards sustainable facilities with a focus on energy efficiency in the design of storage units. In the UK, over half of facilities have energy-efficient LED lighting, and many operators have installed solar panels.
The average new home tends to be smaller than in previous decades, which has boosted demand for flexible and secure storage solutions.
The demand for self-storage facilities is expected to remain robust throughout the remainder of the 2020s, with many new storage facilities being built.
