Most NSR centres are in city fringe, suburban and regional areas. The industry is fragmented, mostly comprising single site owners, while the largest three players, NSR, privately owned Kennards, and the listed Abacus Storage King operate over a third of the market. NSR plans to continue acquiring and developing self-storage centres, consolidating the fragmented industry, as well generating organic growth via dynamic pricing and occupancy management. However, its large rivals are competing via similar strategies.
