Self-storage seems to be everywhere. After Americans fill their basements, fill their garages, and fill their homes, they have to have a place to put all that extra stuff. That's where the extra space that a Palmdale self storage unit provides can really bring you into your own and finally get you accepted with the cool crowd, as long as that cool crowd is your fellow self storage renters. The statistics from the National Self Storage Association are staggering: The self-storage industry in the U.S. generated more than $24 billion in annual U.S. revenues in 2013 The industry has been the fastest growing segment of the commercial real estate industry over the last 40 years The self-storage industry has been considered by analysts to be “recession resistant” based on its performance since the economic recession of 2008 There were over 48,500 “primary” self-storage facilities in the U.S. as of 2013 and 59,500 worldwide The total U.S. self-storage space capacity per household equals about 21 square feet. As of 2013, total self-storage rentable space in the U.S. was 2.3 billion square feet, equaling more than 78 square miles of space, an area more than 3 times the size of Manhattan Island Why self-storage? So why is self-storage becoming more and popular? Simply put, we like our stuff. We spend a lot of money on what we want, what we think we want, what we think we might want someday. We are mobile; we move homes often, and where do we store it during the in-between? Self-storage, that’s where. If it’s true that the average American buys more than 50 times more than someone in China, or that we spend 3 times more the amount of time shopping than someone in Europe, no wonder we need more space for more stuff.
