New industry figures show the UK’s warehouse market has expanded by 61% since 2015, reflecting changing supply chains, ecommerce growth and businesses carrying larger inventories. If you wanted to understand how British businesses have changed over the past decade, you could do worse than look inside their warehouses. New analysis of industry data shows the UK’s warehouse market has grown by 61% since 2015 and is now worth an estimated £38.2 billion. The number of so-called mega warehouses has surged, online retailers now occupy significantly more warehouse space than they did a decade ago and investment continues to flow into distribution centres designed to process thousands of orders every day. For many SMEs, the question is no longer whether logistics deserves attention, but how much of it should remain in-house.
