Current Demand Analysis: CBRE conducted a bottom-up demand analysis^of the current demand
for self-storage in 2015 using the fundamental drivers of the Death, Divorce, Dislocation, Density and
business activity. Using this analysis, CBRE has concluded that the self-storage market is not saturated
and growing as predicted. At the end of 2015, there was an approximate shortfall of 200,000
sq.ft. of self-storage space in Hong Kong. Singapore’s demand and supply dynamics are roughly in
equilibrium but the demographic drivers are still favorable for self-storage demand in the long run.
