THE MARKET
UNTAPPED POTENTIAL FOR SELF STORAGE IN THE NORDICS
Scandinavia lagging in terms of self storage space per capita (sq.m.)
ALL FACTORS SUGGESTING INCREASING DEMAND FOR STORAGE GOING FORWARD
Private consumption and 5 year growth in disposable income1)2)
Strong urbanization trend... ...particularly in the Nordics
% of population living in cities
Population growth ('13-'25e CAGR) in selected European cities
Comments
- Scandinavian countries ranking high in terms of consumption per capita
- In 2015 net household disposable income in Norway, Sweden and Denmark grew with 4.3%, 2.5% and 2.5% respectively
- Spending levels expected to continue growing
- Oslo, Stockholm and Copenhagen expected to remain among the fastest growing capitals in Europe

Notes: 1) Private consumption per capita calculated using constant 2010 prices and World Bank population estimates
2) Growth rates based on average growth in real household net disposable income for the period 2011-2015
URBANISATION AND RISING HOUSING PRICES HAVE LEAD TO NEW BUILDING STANDARDS WITH LESS STORAGE SPACE
- More functional layout with focus on practical solutions and storage space
- «Closed kitchen» with necessary storage space
- Larger bedrooms and bathrooms
-
Common areas in basements were previously reserved for storage space
-
Smaller apartments on the back of rapidly rising housing prices, especially in the larger cities
- «Open kitchen» solution with less storage space
- No link between size of apartment and storage space
- The required 3 sq.m. storage space has become a «walk-in closet» and may even be eliminated following TEK17
