Market Growth Factors

Urban population density and smaller living space are among the main influences on the Australian self storage industry, with 86.6% of the Australian population living in urban areas and urban development focused on high-rise living with smaller household units and less storage space. Self storage allows city-dwellers to store seasonal or infrequently used items in a location that can be more easily reached. Self-storage operators have increasingly moved into densely populated urban areas due to rising costs of housing and a shift towards living in apartments rather than single-family houses.

Volatility in the housing market, including the impacts of high prices, interest rates and job market fluctuations, coupled with trends in transitional housing, are drivers to market growth. Such transitions have increased demand for short-term, protected interim storage immediately between housing or construction periods which have been answered by operators within the Australian marketplace, through flexible leasing, online account management and 24/7 access; expanding the market share of the sector.

These factors have opened up the market to small companies with the rise of e-commerce in Australia. The Australian e-commerce market has been valued at USD 536 billion, where homes and startups require scalable storage for their inventories. Businesses need affordable storage options, and self-storage allows for flexible leases with low operating costs. Self-storage companies offer package acceptance, inbound and outbound mail handling, and temperature-controlled units to attract business customers, contributing to the positive outlook in the industry.
