The rapid development of the self-storage market in Europe is continuing unabated, with a total of more than 3,200 facilities in 2017. But will it be a success in Poland as well? There is currently a total of 8.7 million m² in 3,200 facilities in Europe. The most developed and mature market is the UK, where nearly 44% of the existing facilities are located, followed by France and Spain. However, the market is highly fragmented, with the largest single portfolio accounting for only 6.8% of all existing facilities. Poland’s self-storage market is still in its infancy, with the first modern projects having opened in 2010/2011. Most modern self-storage warehouses are found in suburban parts of the major agglomerations, with Warsaw being one of the most popular locations. Other cities where self-storage facilities can be found include Poznań, Wrocław, Szczecin, Sosnowiec, Katowice and Lublin.
