Why Is Self Storage So Popular?

Since 2005, there has been an 8.1% increase in the amount of self storage space that is available to rent. This significant rise in popularity and demand for storage space is linked to many different factors such as lifestyle changes and people downsizing. 

The pandemic appears to have brought about an increase in popularity which is not surprising as the pandemic made many people take a long, hard look at their lives. Many people decide to downsize so they could work less, many people decide to take the leap to start their own business and many more people decide to head off on adult gap years. 

We all had it brought forth how short life can be and with this a need for freedom, adventure or simply a life of more family and home. Within all these factors, a need for self storage came along with them. 

Downsizing leads to people needing to store some items whilst they decide what to do with them. Starting your own business, particularly e-commerce or retail leads to a need for storage for stock, equipment and business documents. And with the adult gap year, you need a safe, secure space to store your belongings until you get back. Self storage and our storage in Wisbech ticks all these boxes and so self storage popularity has grown.
