How E-commerce has Affected the Warehousing Industry

More and more people are opting to buy products online as opposed to running out to the store to buy them. As a result, e-commerce business is booming for companies like Amazon that are providing people with the opportunity to get their goods quickly by ordering them online. Companies like UPS that deliver goods are also enjoying a lot of success due to the growth of e-commerce. However, they aren’t the only companies that are being affected by e-commerce and all that is has to offer.

Ho the E-Commerce Industry Helps Warehouses

The warehouse market has also seen a spike in growth. According to Fox Business, landlords who own warehouses that were once considered undesirable are now charging top dollars to companies looking to rent them. Between the companies that are selling products online and the companies that are delivering them, there are some cities that are having trouble keeping up with the demand for warehouses. In the second quarter, the average U.S. rent for a warehouse space was a record $5.35 per square foot, which was up from $5.25 in the previous quarter. Moreover, that figure is expected to continue to rise in the coming months and years.
