If you look at the e-commerce growth forecast for the next 10 years, it's pretty strong. It's pretty robust and it's growing much faster than the US economy.
There's an argument to be made that at some point the multi-family industry has to return to the norm because population growth in the US is slowing.
Multi-family is a factor of population growth in the end. If your population drops, you need less units.
But e-commerce is different. E-commerce can grow at 2x, 3x, or even 5x the US economy for the next 10 years and it still wouldn't get to 50 percent of all retail. Right now, it's at 15%. From a math perspective, from a logic perspective, e-commerce could enjoy a significant ramp. Whereas with multi-family, it's going to go up but there might be some plateaus and there might also be some drops in there, simply because most people have not absorbed the fact that the U.S. population growth in the last three years has slowed to an absolute trickle.
Key points:
- U.S.A. populations growth
- E-commerce new market
- E-commerce exponential growth
