The global self-storage industry is estimated to be worth US$68 billion in 2026, up from approximately US$64 billion in 2025. This increase in market value is being driven by a growing tendency for people to accumulate more belongings than can be comfortably stored in their homes. Many are willing to pay a monthly fee for a storage service that keeps their items safe and secure.
Investors are interested in self-storage businesses because they are considered reliable investments. Storage units are relatively inexpensive to construct and operate, and require few staff. Once customers have moved their belongings into a storage unit, they tend to rent the space for longer than they originally planned.
People often need self-storage at critical times in their lives, such as when moving house, starting an e-commerce business or sorting through a deceased relative’s estate. Newly built homes have tended to become smaller and may not have enough space to store everything a household owns. Many people are reluctant to dispose of their possessions, and consumers often continue acquiring belongings even after they have run out of storage space.
Investors are forecast to remain attracted to self-storage units because they offer a dependable income with minimal risk. Competitors in this market do not generally compete on price, but on reliability, convenience and security.
