Warehousing & Storage in France industry analysis

Warehouses and storage facilities constitute a key part of logistics supply chains, enabling the storage of goods in a centralised location to facilitate the steady supply and distribution of inventory. Warehousing operators provide storage solutions to businesses in a range of markets, including the retail, industrial and agricultural markets. As globalisation and the proliferation of e-commerce has caused supply chains to grow more complex, modern warehousing technologies and strategies have become increasingly important.

Trends and Insights

  • The UK dominates the European warehousing and storage market. The UK is the largest e-commerce market in Europe, just edging Germany, elevating the need for warehouse and storage solutions and attracting many large-scale warehouse providers.
  • Major companies transform general storage into distribution services. As the industry adds more value in areas like warehouse robotics and JIT inventory systems, the share of revenue generated by general storage services has shrunk.
  • Specialisation increases the industry's fragmentation. More warehousing and storage companies specialise in specific storage solutions, usually the grocery, retail, e-commerce or healthcare markets.
