What will be the upcoming warehouse steel structure trends in 2025?

Space Utilization: 

The warehouse storage and distribution market will be displaying similar trends continuing from 2024. This trend, in particular the large-scale availability of space, will most likely extend well into 2025.

Maintenance costs: 

Normally, in a standard warehouse, shelves and racking are largely present, where all the pallets are placed and stacked. This racking is usually a fixed lump of steel with little to no need for restoration. 

This investment in steel structures, particularly in the racking structures, has real longevity with little to no maintenance needed. 

On the other hand, new automated equipment that moves the product, like robots or automated forklift trucks, will need more maintenance and require replacement costs.

Bigger and better: 

Warehouse sizes will continue to grow. In the last 30 years, the warehouse has been moving towards bigger and better structures, now moving towards more than 100,000 square meter buildings, using better warehouse management systems, faster computer systems, updated inventory control systems that link what is sold in retail stores and what new warehouses can supply through a modern order management systems. 

2025 will see even more technological advancement that can support and manage the size of bigger warehouses, providing greater economy of scale, while lowering product's cost per unit.
