Based on average USA and the Forecast Demand and Conclusion figures sourced from Cushman & Wakefield (California, USA). We
observed, that If "Rental area per person" is greater 0.51 we can consider that storage market as oversupplied, if 0.51 or less we
consider that market undersupplied, else equilibrium. This takes only storage perspective not parking. See appendix (1).

20. Market Summary (3)
! The storage market for Sydney metro alone, at modest rate
of $2.6 per week SQM, is estimate to be just around $1.7
million per week.
! This is represents commercial storage rental area only and
does not include the opportunity of peer to peer
residential spaces, work spaces or parking as sought by
Spaceble. If we assume 30% additional for this segment,
this equates to around $2.2 million per week opportunity
! If we further assume Spaceble attaining 10%, that is
$230,000 per week market opportunity for Sydney metro
alone.

21. Competition
! There are no direct competitors to Spaceble.com other than the closest
being www.spaceout.com.au but this sites usability is poor, not
engaging and fundamentally focus on “storage” rather “space”.
! Summary of competitive differences
! Existing online marketplace are not built with the requirement or
understanding of “space” in mind
! They are are place to sell: storage. That’s it.
! They lack discovery. They lack social. They limit opportunity and use
current paradigm when looking at storage rather ‘space’.
! We’ve spoken to users selling and seeking space on existing places.
They use it because they have to.

1 . This based on average USA and the Forecast Demand figure is sourced from Cushman & Wakefield (California, USA) conclusion. We can conclude, as estimate, that If "Rental area per person" is greater 0.51 we can consider that storage
market as oversupplied, if 0.51 or less we consider that market undersupplied, else equilibrium. This takes only storage perspective not parking.
