It’s an undeniable fact that the self storage industry has seen impressive and steady growth over the past few years. The main reason that the self-storage industry has experienced such exponential growth is because of residential downsizing and cross-state moves. The demographic of individuals utilizing self storage are mainly comprised of young families seeking affordable housing and boomers looking to downsize for retirement.
With an estimated 10,000 Baby Boomers reaching the age of retirement in the U.S. each year, self storage is an becoming more and more in demand. The Self Storage Association estimates that 1 out of 10 individuals will use self-storage in their lifetime, meaning that the demand for storage units is not only strong, but steadily growing. This makes a self storage franchise a sustainable investment for many years to come.
The main reason why self storage is such an attractive investment for investors is because of the resilience of the self storage industry. The self storage industry is one of the most profitable industries to invest in is because of the unique factor that storage units remains in demand even in times of economic distress. In an upward economy, consumers are likely to purchase more items and utilize any extra income to rent a storage unit to store any extra belongings.
