FOR IMMEDIATE
RELEASE
Warehousing in North America - 2007
STOUGHTON, WI, May 21 2007 – Commercial
warehousing in the United States has reached nearly $33 billion according to
a new report by Armstrong & Associates. The number of commercial
warehouses is estimated at 7,900 with 1.25 billion square feet of space.
Growth was 9.7% for 2006.
The report contains detailed information of the
contract and public warehousing markets. Operating margins, EBITDA and EBIT
distributions are given for contract warehousing operations. Three year
contracts are standard covering 54% of the market. Comparisons for open
book versus closed book and building ownership/leasing situations have been
calculated. Summaries for KPIs, value-added services and gainsharing are
presented.
In the report, components of standard warehouse
pricing models are given. The major variables are space utilization, labor,
administrative costs and margins. This standard costing methodology is used
for both contract and public warehousing. Gainsharing, single-factor carton
pricing and other key pricing elements are explained. Public warehousing
pallet handling charges were found to vary regionally from $5.75 to $6.79.
Package handling, storage and value-added service charges are detailed in
the report.
Expected operating margins and profitability
measures are compared to actual results for 3PLs in the study. These
relationships are reviewed in detail and in reference to the “Negotiation
Zone.” Statistical analyses were performed showing the effects on
profitability of open book relationships and leasing versus ownership.
The analysis emphasizes the growth of contract
warehousing at the expense of public warehousing. The results indicate
however, that profitability is not inherent in either of the models but owes
more to company cultures and practices.
The complete study with appendices is available
from Armstrong & Associates. It can be purchased by phone at
