<Outline of the case

In recent years, demand for self-storage facilities has been increasing due to the shrinking size of housing, especially in urban areas, and the development of teleworking. In addition, an increasing number of real estate owners are installing self-storage facilities in office buildings and rental stores with low occupancy rates and on narrow lots that are considered difficult to utilize.

According to Yano Research Institute Ltd., the domestic market for storage services (rental storage and container storage) is expected to grow 4.1% year-on-year in FY2022 on a rent basis, and is forecast to expand in FY2023 as well*.

Note 1: Market size is the total of rental storage and container storage.

Note 2: Figures for FY2022 are estimates, and figures for FY2023 are forecasts.

In this market, by linking J-LEASE's guarantee service to the trunk room service managed and operated by our company, which focuses on the self-storage business, trunk room users will be able to seamlessly complete the online process from application to rent guarantee screening and electronic contract signing. This will also shorten the number of days required to start using the trunk room. In addition, the SCS (Storage Cooperation System), our trunk room operation and management system, and J-LEASE's core system will be linked through an API, making it possible to centrally manage these procedures on the SCS.
