FOR IMMEDIATE
RELEASE
Warehousing in North America - 2008
STOUGHTON, WI, May 30, 2008 – Commercial
warehousing in the United States has reached $37.5 billion according
to a new report by Armstrong & Associates, Inc. The number of commercial
warehouses is estimated at 8,000 with 1.3 billion square feet of space.
Market growth was 7.7% for 2007 and commercial warehousing now constitutes one-third of
total U.S. warehousing.
The report contains detailed information of
the contract and public segments of the commercial warehousing market. Lists of the
top dry
and refrigerated warehousing providers with overall storage capacities are provided. Operating
margins, EBITDA and EBIT margin distributions are provided for contract warehousing
operations. Three year contracts are standard covering 54% of the
contract warehousing market.
Comparisons for open book versus closed book and building ownership/leasing
arrangements have been calculated. Specifics for KPIs, value-added services
and gainsharing are presented. This year’s report has expanded coverage on
the Canadian warehousing market.
In the report, components of standard
warehouse pricing models are given. The major variables are space
utilization, labor, administrative costs and target profitability margins. This standard costing
methodology is used for both contract and public warehousing pricing. 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 the warehousing providers
participating in the study. These
relationships are reviewed in detail and in reference to the warehouse
pricing “Negotiation
Zone.” Statistical analyses detail the effects of open book relationships and leasing versus ownership
on overall warehouse profitability.
The analysis explores the trend in 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
