Shopping Mall Management in the US industry analysis

Shopping mall management servicers endured notable declines due to unfavorable digitization trends and impact of high interest rates on operational costs. For operators, rental income generates the largest portion of revenue with income from property management fees following. Accordingly, revenue primarily fluctuates in line with rental rates and occupancy levels. Over the past five years, growth in household earnings has boosted demand for retail space rental and food service space rental from businesses. However, this growth was offset by a growing popularity of online-based retailers such as Amazon.com Inc. The impact of the pandemic in early 2020 significantly reduced revenue as nonessential businesses were ordered to close, while recent spikes in inflationary pressures dampened consumers’ shopping propensity. Through the end of 2024, revenue fell at a CAGR of 4.0% to an estimated $20.8 billion, including stagnation in 2024 alone.

Trends and Insights

  • E-commerce growth is stunting demand for traditional malls. As more shoppers turn to online outlets, shopping centers are witnessing a significant drop in customer interest.
  • Rising real estate prices boost retail rent values. When malls have fewer vacancies, leasing costs rise and rental revenue for managers increases.
  • High-population areas boost mall demand. These regions offer a varied customer base, driving up the need for larger establishments and generating a larger shopping base.
  • Mall managers vie for prime spots to cut costs and lure in shoppers. This strategic search underscores internal competition, as a prime spot can increase foot traffic and minimize operating expenses.
