Demand for McGrath RentCorp's products and services is influenced by seasonal factors, particularly in its modular building and portable storage segments. Demand for modular buildings is driven by economic expansion, infrastructure projects, and the education sector. The Portable Storage segment experiences fluctuations influenced by commercial construction activity. While the electronic test equipment market can experience industry-wide slowdowns, the demand for bandwidth and faster communication speeds positions this segment for longer-term growth. The broader equipment rental industry often experiences seasonal highs and lows.
