The self-storage industry, including Global Self Storage, Inc., traditionally experiences demand seasonality, with busier periods during the warmer months (spring and summer) and quieter periods in the first and fourth quarters. While the COVID-19 pandemic temporarily disrupted these patterns, the sector is now seeing a return to more normalized trends, influenced by consumers redirecting spending and the impact of high inflation. Evolving patterns have been observed, such as higher-than-average demand in Q1 2023 and more space shed in Q4 2022 compared to historical averages. Global Self Storage itself noted abnormally low occupancy in Q1 2023, partly due to seasonality.
