Market Insights: A Selection From The Report A Robust Market Slows Down U.S. is Global Garage Organization and Shed Leader Self Storage Decline Could Boost Home Storage Housing Bust Can’t Halt Steady Growth of Garage and Storage Shed Market New York, March 12, 2009 - The brand-new third edition of Garage and Storage Shed Trends in the U.S. from industrial market research publisher SBI features critical perspective on the housing and economic downturn and the impact through early 2009. The report examines how the market for garage organization products and storage sheds in the United States has been growing at a rapid pace in spite of the financial crisis. Even with the housing bust, this market has seen a 10% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2004-2008. SBI projects a much slower CAGR of 4% for years 2009-2013, with most of the slack to occur in 2009. But any growth in this economic climate is good news. Garage and Storage Shed Trends in the U.S., 3rd Edition also analyzes consumers’ continued desire and need to organize their homes, and examines reasons why this need will drive demand as the economy recovers. The report contains updated data on the U.S. market for garage organization products and storage sheds, including historical (2004-2008) and forecast (2008-2013) retail sales data. In addition to sales updates, the report updates: factors and trends impacting growth, the impact of dynamic raw material prices, market and products trends, distribution and retail trends, and consumer usage information.

And, the do-it-yourself segment will do better overall in the near future as the vast majority of consumers are reluctant to spend on bigger ticket items or systems.” Further, reports SBI, “In a difficult market for selling a home, marketers are stressing that a well organized garage can increase the selling price, and help the homeowner sell more quickly.” The United States is estimated to be the largest market for garage organization products and sheds. The primary reason is less demand for storage products in the rest of world since there is generally less consumption of goods that require storage, and far less prevalence of garages.
