Warehousing & Storage in Ireland - Industry Market Research Report

Empty spaces: Economic headwinds push down demand in 2023-24, reducing industry revenue

Warehouses and storage facilities are used to store a variety of inputs, intermediate goods and finished goods for downstream businesses spanning the entire economy, so demand is sensitive to a number of different variables and can be volatile. Rising e-commerce sales has boosted demand for warehouse space in recent years, while an influx of multinational domiciled pharmaceutical companies have commanded specialised storage space to meet their growing logistical needs. Operators have been investing in technology and offering value-added services like inventory management, encouraging downstream customers to outsource their supply chain activities. This industry consists of firms that operate storage facilities for all kinds of goods, including general merchandise warehouses and refrigerated warehouses. Companies that operate in-house storage facilities for their own goods are not included in this industry. This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
