The Self Storage Association UK Annual Industry Report 2022 includes data collected from industry operators, customers currently using self storage and the general public.


This is the 15th year the Self Storage Association UK (SSA UK) has been surveying its members and producing an annual industry report.   The report covers all viewpoints of the industry, collecting data from operators, customers and the general public.  This year’s report does have some variances over last year’s data as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic lessened during 2021, with lockdowns and other restrictions eased.  With around a quarter of stores in the UK completing the survey, representing around 40% of the storage space, the sample size is exceptionally robust.

For the seventh year, the report has been produced in conjunction with Cushman & Wakefield. Their extensive experience in valuing self storage properties around the world, as well as knowledge of the broader property market has further added to the valuable information in this report. The economic overview provided by Cushman & Wakefield included in the report also gives context to the achievements of the industry.
