Industry Overview: The expansion of real estate agents is the primary element driving development in the US moving services industry. The improvement in the real estate situation in the United States from 2010 to 2016 has fueled the rise of relocation services. Existing house sales grew by $4.45 billion to $5.56 billion in 2016, up from $4.45 billion in 2010. This is due to high hiring and job sales in the United States. The entire housing market is predicted to increase moderately quickly during the projection period. The market for relocation services will be driven by an increase in buyer interest, improved credit rates, and an overabundance of transactions. Buyers are investing in properties with the help of affordable housing loans, which would boost the US real estate industry. Low mortgage rates, population expansion, and increased buyer interest increase demand for available property.

Industry Analysis

The industry analysis section of the Moving Company business plan will help you get better insights into competitors, market growth, and overall industry prospects. You can order a custom market research report for your Moving Company business.

According to Technavio, the moving services market in the United States is expected to increase by USD 1.95 billion between 2019 and 2024, with a CAGR of 2%. The residential segment’s market share rise will be essential for revenue creation in the United States. People are increasingly renting outhouses as the number of home purchasers declines. Furthermore, rising property prices are causing individuals to relocate from high-cost locations such as California, Arizona, and Colorado to lower-cost cities such as Texas, Massachusetts, and North Carolina.

Moving Company Business Plan Industry Analysis

However, during the projection period, the high prices associated with relocation services will significantly threaten the US moving services market. Relocation costs a lot of money, whether it’s a residential or business move. When a relocation service operator is employed to do the task, it costs considerably more. Even though relocation services offer an estimate for moving, the final cost numbers are always 35 percent to 40% more than the predicted cost. Furthermore, equipment/personnel possessions that are damaged incur additional expenditures. This is primarily a worry for businesses since any damage to the facility during the move process might result in higher lease costs. Clients anticipate that transferring across states would cost roughly USD4,000-USD4,800, and moving interstate will cost around USD800-USD900. However, the average cost of relocating interstate for business and residential services is between USD 1,150 and USD 2,500. Moving across states is about USD5,300-USD6,000, or around 35% higher than the anticipated cost.

In the United States, the moving services industry is fragmented, and providers compete by using organic and inorganic expansion techniques. Some of the key players in the industry are AGS Worldwide Movers, ArcBest Corp., Armstrong Relocation and Companies, Arpin Van Lines, Atlas World Group Inc., Beltmann Relocation Group, Coleman World Group, UniGroup CA, U-Pack, and Wheaton World Wide Moving.

The COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic caused revenue in the Moving Services business to fall by 0.7 percent in 2020. The industry will rise 5.4 percent as the economy recovers, and movements are rebooked. During the pandemic, the industry’s profitability was harmed by increasing labor costs and increasing fuel prices in the face of poor demand. As the general economy improved in 2021, economic uncertainty will likely decrease. However, revenue growth is projected to be slowed when the housing market reaches a plateau. Despite the continuing coronavirus epidemic, the Moving Services sector has grown in the five years leading to 2021. Industry revenue is predicted to climb by 5.4 percent in 2021, outpacing reductions earlier, especially in 2020. Due to the industry’s status as a critical service, it has remained operational for the duration of the epidemic. In addition, in 2020, an increase in existing house sales and housing starts helped offset the pandemic’s revenue consequences.

About 7,000 moving firms handle roughly 14,000 sites throughout the United States, generating $86 billion in income. Professional movers are only one of several options for local, international, or long-distance relocation. This only demonstrates that the moving business is far broader than most people know, and it has a tremendous influence on the US economy and everyday life.

Small businesses are well-known as the backbone of the US economy, and the moving industry is no exception, with over half of all moving firms employing less than five people. This is another example of how the destiny of the relocation business and the migratory patterns and habits of Americans are inextricably linked to the US economy’s future and success. Hardworking movers, drivers, and packers play a significant role in facilitating migration throughout the United States. The consequences of recent technical improvements have been felt by moving firms and the industry. Those businesses that embrace technological advancements will be able to provide a more seamless relocation experience, attracting more customers and increasing profits.

Meetings, frequent calls, and interminable discussions were part of the relocation process. Clients and businesses were required to go through every element of the relocation. Relocation specialists are expected to provide high levels of efficiency these days, and the easiest way to do it is to automate recurrent and time-consuming operations. Moving firms should use virtual reality and artificial intelligence (AI) since they have the potential to transform the industry as we know it.

Many businesses have previously incorporated a variety of high-tech advances to enhance their service quality.

Self-booking is an example of a digital trend that many businesses use. Clients may use one of the numerous applications available to book last-minute moving services in this manner. Clients may also get real-time service updates via household item monitoring. They may use an internet app to keep track of their stuff.
