Well, we are acquiring more stuff "we need" every day and our living spaces are getting smaller, more people live in apartments or condominiums now then they were 30 years ago. And when an emergency arises, "grandma dies and leaves more stuff", "a job is lost and gotta move, well admit it, with your parents again", what's the best solution?

Also, the number of businesses that use self storage units has been growing, storing records, equipment, inventory and the like, are a few of many uses for business.
