• Planning constraints, limited urban land, and zoning rules restrict new supply, supporting occupancy and long-term growth for scaled operators.
• UK and European transaction volumes hit a record EUR 1.2 billion in 2024, with platforms valued above EUR 1 billion emerging.
• More than 10,500 facilities remain mostly locally owned, creating consolidation scope; short leases enable frequent repricing, supporting inflation resilience.
