The Israeli market for personal moving services in 2025 continues to demonstrate a number of stable trends, closely intertwined with the growing demand for storage in Israel. Although dynamic in nature, the sector also reveals several unique structural characteristics.
1. Strong Link Between Moving and Storage Services
A clear trend is the inseparable connection between residential moves and the need for storage solutions — particularly self-storage, storage by items, or storage by cubic meter. Many customers who are relocating, traveling abroad, or renovating turn to storage companies to temporarily store their belongings. However, the market remains fragmented and largely dominated by small-scale logistics providers and local movers, often without the comprehensive capabilities offered by professional warehousing services.
2. Small-Scale Structure of Service Providers
Most movers in this sector operate as small, family-run businesses, typically with just one or two trucks. These are usually sole proprietors who hire laborers on an hourly basis. In such a setting, customers looking for professional services — whether for secure storage, valet storage, or business storage — often face challenges in finding reliable and consistent storage services.
3. Inconsistent Pricing Models
Pricing for moving and storage rentals is highly variable. Each provider sets their own rates, and price differences of up to 50% are not uncommon. For example, a small move (5–8 cubic meters) may cost from 1,200 NIS, while average jobs range from 2,500 to 4,500 NIS. Pricing is influenced by volume, distance, floor level, elevator access, and parking availability. When adding long-term storage or short-term storage, the overall cost increases depending on the storage area and rental period.
4. Strong Seasonality in Demand
Peak demand occurs between May and September — the period when many lease agreements in Israel come to an end. During these months, storage facilities are often at full capacity, prices for storage units rise, and logistics services are overwhelmed with bookings. This also applies to delivery services and order fulfillment services, especially in areas with limited warehouse space.
5. Impact of External Factors
External events, such as the ongoing war with Hamas, have also influenced the market. Since October 7, 2024, a significant number of Israelis have temporarily relocated abroad, leading to an increased demand for storage lockers, personal storage, and safe storage for longer durations. Despite these disruptions, the overall demand for storage on demand, shipping services, and warehouse rentals has remained stable.
