General Warehousing and Cold Storage in Australia - Industry Market Research Report

Well stocked: Strong growth in online shopping has boosted industry revenue

Growing demand for general warehousing and cold storage services from various downstream markets has driven industry growth in recent years. Warehouse facilities have increasingly become complex distribution and information centres that link a product's entire supply chain, facilitating just-in-time supply of stock. Manufacturers, retailers and wholesalers have adjusted their supply chains accordingly and now tend to hold less stock on hand, allowing them to outsource their warehousing requirements. The trend towards outsourcing warehousing to third-party operators has boosted demand for warehousing services, with operators investing in new value-added services and technology systems. Industry firms primarily operate third-party warehousing and cold storage facilities. Grain storage facilities are excluded from the 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.
