Is e-commerce a leading force? In every single part of the United States. In South Florida, it has been impactful to the point of reshaping the region’s economic landscape. Not only does it change the landscape, but it also profoundly influences surplus and liquidation markets.
As online retail grows, so does the demand for:
- Efficient logistics.
- Flexible warehousing.
- Fast fulfillment.
Those aspects affect how you build an entire surplus business since they directly impact your goods as well. Especially the aspects of:
- How you store the items.
- How you are sourcing your goods.
- And how they are distributed across the region and the entire state.
Coastal Surplus Solutions understands the surplus market and how e-commerce has influenced it. Therefore, we want to introduce you to how you can balance this evolving relationship and thrive amid these changes.
E-Commerce Drives Demand for Industrial and Surplus Space
The region’s market is booming, and it is all thanks to the rapid expansion of e-commerce.
South Florida has always been a leading region when leading industrial growth and businesses. However, e-commerce and its continuous implementation have led to exponential changes.
According to Levy Realty Advisors, e-commerce requires significantly more warehouse space. This is compared to traditional businesses. As a result, it has driven unprecedented demand for distribution centers and last-mile fulfillment hubs.
What drives the surplus and liquidation markets is that e-commerce is not stopping. Despite how it requires more investment in space and warehousing, new businesses appear every day. This increased the activity in the previous markets.
Besides new businesses, old ones are also moving to more cost-effective and efficient practices. This is natural as they want options that can help them meet fluctuating online consumer demand in the process.
Surplus goods—ranging from overstock items to returned merchandise—become vital. They respond to the e-commerce demand, and are perfect to increase profit margin.
E-commerce sellers need to remain competitive in both pricing and turnaround. The best solution is to go for surplus goods rather than waiting for manufacturers or suppliers.
At this point, surplus goods are the core of how e-commerce businesses are able to stay afloat and continue growing.
Surplus Lines Market Reflects E-Commerce Growth
The Florida Surplus Lines Service Office reports that premium volumes have reached nearly $2 billion only in early 2025. This reflects steady demand for coverage of surplus goods and related logistics operations.
The surplus lines insurance market hasn’t been booming this year, only. Since early 2024, there has been a massive increase in requests and more policies due to the nature of surplus goods.
This growth signals the expanding scale of surplus and liquidation activities. All connected to e-commerce.
But what makes e-commerce so good that makes people bet on surplus goods and the lines market? The speed at which inventory moves.
It is easy to source and sell goods in all categories with e-commerce. While it comes with required specialized insurance coverage, the return or profit is much higher than the expenses.
