The UK has more self-storage units than any other country in Europe (although the per person levels may more similar?), which might imply:

as we become more packed into small (new) houses we need somewhere to put stuff when we form new households?

for those forced into a cycle of moves from rented home to rented home it offers some stability where one's belongings can reside... or

perhaps, seeking security in something we just hoard possessions?
