Positive drivers

Positive drivers

Rising urbanisation and shrinking living spaces across Europe drive demand for self-storage services. As more people continue moving to metropolitan areas with limited housing space, the need for secure, flexible storage options increases, presenting significant growth opportunities for the storage market (EUBusiness News, January 2025; London Datastore, January 2025)

The factory relocations and business restructuring across Europe drive demand for specialised industrial moving services. As companies seek to optimise operations and adapt to evolving market conditions, professional relocation providers benefit from increased project volumes and complex logistical requirements (Suret, July 2024)

Technological advancements, including AI, robotics, big data analytics and IoT, transform the logistics and moving services industry by enhancing operational efficiency, improving customer satisfaction, reducing costs and optimising the logistics and relocation process (DHL, December 2023)

Negative drivers

Negative drivers

Rising rental costs and low housing mobility across Europe create challenges for the moving services market. With tenants hesitant to relocate due to favourable existing contracts and housing shortages in key urban areas, demand for relocation services may be constrained (Relocate Global, December 2024)

The shortage of available space for self-storage units across Europe caps growth opportunities in the market. The locations for new developments are increasingly difficult to find and the competition for existing units drives up the rental costs, hindering expansion in key metropolitan areas (ISS, November 2024)

Rising fuel prices, labour shortages and tightening environmental regulations increase operational costs in the moving services market. These are passed on via service fees, which may deter budget-sensitive clients, while labour scarcity and compliance costs further constrain profitability (Searates, December 2023; ING December 2023)
