Welcome to the latest edition of JLL’s ‘European Self Storage Annual Survey’ in conjunction with the Federation of European Self Storage Associations (FEDESSA).
The survey provides a valuable insight into self storage industry across Europe. It is aimed at helping investors, funders and operators in this growing and dynamic market.
Over 800 facilities across seventeen countries across Europe took part in the survey, which is now in its eighth year.
Among the key points to take-away:
In the last 12 months, there were more than €250 million of transactions in the self storage market
There are 4,350 facilities across Europe, providing over 9.8m sq m of space, meaning that there are now 9 stores per million inhabitants in Europe, compared to more than 160 in the USA
The UK has the greatest amount of available self storage space per person with 40% of the number of stores
The average rent in Europe is €259 per square metre per annum (around £22 psf) and average occupancy is 79%
The top 10 operators in Europe represent 25% of the number of facilities and 40% of the total available space
The largest operator in Europe is Shurgard who (as at May 2019) occupy 232 facilities.
