Self-storage trends 2025 (2)

Smart, flexible and sustainable storage solutions

The self-storage industry has grown rapidly in recent years – and it will be even more innovative in 2025. Whether you’re renting out your apartment at short notice, need storage space as an e-commerce entrepreneur or simply want to take the pressure off your home, self-storage offers you flexible solutions. But what does the future look like? In this blog post, we take a look at the most important self-storage trends for 2025 and show you how you can use them to your advantage.

Self-storage trends 2025 (3)

1. Smart self-storage: digital access around the clock

Technology will play an even more central role in the self-storage industry in 2025. The days when you had to follow opening hours are over. With smart self-storage, you can easily access your storage unit in the middle of the night. This not only saves time, but is also super flexible.

STORE ROOM has been using digital access since 2019, allowing you to open and manage your storage unit via an app. This gives you round-the-clock access to your items, no matter when you need them. You can book your storage unit conveniently online or via STORE ROOM customer service and have access to your storage unit immediately after booking.Easily pass on access rights to friends, family or employees so that they also have access to your storage unit if required.

2. Sustainability: environmentally friendly storage solutions on the rise

The issue of sustainability is also becoming increasingly important in the self-storage sector. Customers are increasingly ensuring that the services they use are environmentally friendly. In 2025, many self-storage companies will increasingly focus on sustainable construction and operating methods. This means that you can store with a clear conscience because your storage unit is powered by solar panels or equipped with energy-efficient LED lighting, for example.

Our location in Vienna South has been using environmentally friendly technologies since 2019. For example, the location is operated CO2-neutrally thanks to a photovoltaic system.

STORE ROOM is also involved in other projects such as Hektar Nektar, which is committed to protecting bees. The company is also part of the COBIGA project, which protects one square meter of rainforest for every square meter of storage space rented. We thus make an important contribution to environmental protection and allows you to store your items with a clear conscience.

In addition to the use of green energy, the range of environmentally friendly packaging materials is also becoming increasingly important. Plastic-free material and recyclable boxes are becoming increasingly popular and suppliers are increasingly offering solutions for the reuse of packaging. One example of this is KIBOX, a brand of STORE ROOM GmbH. These are sustainable moving boxes that can be rented and used several times. This helps to reduce the use of disposable packaging.

3. More storage requirements due to e-commerce and working from home

A current boom in e-commerce and the increase in home office workplaces have significantly increased the demand for self-storage solutions. For small companies and start-ups in particular, self-storage offers a cost-effective way of storing goods without having to invest in large warehouses.

If you work in online retail yourself, you will be familiar with the problem: products pile up in your home or office, and at some point you run out of space. This is where self-storage comes into play. You can react flexibly to the size of your stock and rent exactly the space you need – and often at much more favorable conditions than in traditional warehouses.

Self-storage is also a blessing in the home office. Many people use the storage units to lighten the load in their homes. Furniture, files or seasonal decorations that are not always needed can be stored in an external storage unit. This way you create space and keep an overview.

4. Individualized storage solutions: flexibly tailored to you

In 2025, self-storage providers will increasingly offer personalized solutions. Standardized storage units will be a thing of the past.

STORE ROOM has been responding to the special needs of its customers since its foundation and offers you storage boxes in various sizes, with temperature monitoring for valuable or sensitive items and special safety precautions.

For example, if you want to store works of art or sensitive electronics, you can use special temperature-controlled units in the future that constantly provide the right temperature and humidity. The company also meets the highest security requirements for business people who need to store confidential documents securely.

5. Micro-storage: space-saving solutions for the city

Space is becoming increasingly scarce in cities, and this is precisely where another trend comes in: Micro-storage. These small storage units offer just enough space for everyday items, such as seasonal clothing, sports equipment or even bicycles, and are often integrated directly into residential or office buildings. This not only saves you long journeys, but also allows you to store small quantities of items directly on site.

These compact storage solutions are extremely popular, especially in metropolitan areas such as Vienna, where many people live in smaller apartments. Micro-storage is often referred to as smart storage space in the city and is ideal for people who have little space but still value order and clarity in their everyday lives.

6. Hybrid models: self-storage combined with offices and more

An exciting trend for 2025 is hybrid models that combine self-storage with other services, such as coworking spaces, parcel acceptance points and special services for small businesses. These multifunctional centers are ideal, especially in large cities, as they offer flexible solutions for office and storage space.

One outstanding example is the company KIMBA in Vienna South, which is part of the Kopf Group, which also includes STORE ROOM. KIMBA offers larger office spaces and warehouses so that self-employed people and companies can find everything they need under one roof.

Private individuals and companies benefit from a wide range of services at the Vienna South location, including self-storage units from 1-50 m², commercial storage space on the third floor of up to 600 m², free vans (Crafter Van), transport aids such as trolleys and pallet trucks as well as goods receiving, warehouses and offices.

Self-storage industry will be even more versatile and customer-oriented in 2025. Digital access, sustainable solutions and personalized storage units will make storage easier and more efficient than ever before. Whether you are looking for space for your e-commerce store, your home office or simply for personal items, STORE ROOM offers increasingly flexible models that adapt perfectly to your needs.

Micro-storage solutions and hybrid models are gaining ground, especially in cities where space is at a premium. Smart technologies and sustainable approaches ensure that you can not only store flexibly, but also in an environmentally friendly way. The 2025 trends show that self-storage is not only a practical solution for the present, but also a future-proof choice for anyone who wants to use their space efficiently and sustainably.
