WORLD FACILITIES MANAGEMENT MARKET 2010

Over the last two years the global facility management industry has been going through harder times. COST-CUTTING AND INVESTMENT-FREEZING POLICIES, as well as a SHARP FALL IN CONSTRUCTION OUTPUT, were the principal challenges for FM players during the credit crunch and subsequent economic downturn.

Now the worst does not seem to be over. FM PLAYERS ARE STILL FACING HIGH CUTTING COST EXPECTATIONS from clients, especially in the public sector that suffers from budget cuts elsewhere in the developed world. Ironically, the continuing cuts hit the most efficient FM companies that excelled at rationalising their costs in the year of recession.

Still, tougher times bring new opportunities. Significant financial reductions will pressurise the public sector to meet EVER MORE GROWING ENERGY EFFICIENCY REQUIREMENTS, and thus, look for new outsourcing opportunities.

A particularly acute point is energy efficiency and carbon reduction requirements. Public, commercial, and industrial enterprises are expected to OUTSOURCE A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF ENERGY SAVING AND CARBON REDUCTION ACTIVITIES to experienced energy services suppliers and consultants.

Cost-cutting trends on the demand side are set to drive competition among FM players. Facing the pressure over margins, MAJOR FM COMPANIES NEED TO GAIN FROM ECONOMIES OF SCALE, PORTFOLIO DIVERSIFICATION, AND CROSS-BORDER EXPANSION. These requirements are definitely to intensify M&A activities and will further stimulate FM companies to look for global and cross-regional opportunities.

Dramatic changes, which the FM industry is undergoing, increase THE NECESSITY OF SUFFICIENT AND TIMELY MARKET INTELLIGENCE SUPPORT. However, there have been no re-assessment of key FM indicators and market potential done so far. A new World FM Study by BSRIA is aimed at filling this gap.

Key issues in focus:

• CHANGES IN CLIENTELE'S EXPECTATIONS
• ENERGY EFFICIENCY CHALLENGES
• GLOBAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR GROWTH
