Key Findings from the 2025 Survey:

● Increased Fulfillment Costs: Both Business-to-Consumer (B2C) and Business-to-Business (B2B) fulfillment costs have experienced an uptick. B2C pick and pack rates saw a slight increase from $3.18 to $3.20 per order, while B2B rates edged up from $4.79 to $4.80 per order.
● Stable Pallet Storage Costs: Despite fluctuations in other areas, pallet storage fees have remained relatively stable, averaging $20.17 per pallet per month.
● Rising Warehouse Lease Costs: The average annual cost per square foot to lease warehouse space has risen by 12%, reflecting increased demand and operational expenses.
● Higher Minimum Monthly Spend Requirements: The reported minimum monthly spend requirement has increased from $337.50 in 2024 to $517 in 2025, impacting businesses with lower order volumes.
● Prevalence of Long-Term Storage Fees: Nearly half of warehouses (48.6%) now charge long-term storage fees, up from 23.33% in 2024, adding $5-$10 per pallet per month for businesses holding slow-moving inventory.

Implications for Warehouse Customers:

Businesses utilizing 3PL services should anticipate higher fulfillment and storage costs, particularly if they maintain slow-moving inventory. The increase in minimum monthly spend requirements necessitates a reassessment of current warehousing partnerships to ensure cost-effectiveness. Additionally, the rise in warehouse lease costs may lead to adjustments in pricing structures across the industry.

Implications for Warehouse Owners:

Warehouse operators are experiencing increased operational costs, particularly in leasing expenses. The stability in pallet storage fees suggests a competitive market, requiring owners to optimize operations to maintain profitability. The growing prevalence of long-term storage fees indicates a shift towards incentivizing faster inventory turnover.
