The International Facility Management Association describes facility management as the integration of a physical space with the organization's staff and work, which may include tasks such as the maintenance of equipment or planning for future portfolios. These services include emergency preparedness and business continuity, environmental sustainability, human aspects of communication, project management, quality, real estate & property management, leadership or strategy, and others.

The study focuses mainly on the technology side of management, which includes software and services that help improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the management of the facilities. This sector, which is defined as providing maintenance assistance, user management, and project management services, has grown significantly over the last two decades due to initial growth in urbanization and industrial development. In the coming years, the demand for these solutions and services is likely to record a considerable increase. Government spending on transport, energy, construction, and others is the factor for the increase in demand. In addition to building management contracts with its service providers for the provision of its services, contract management also comprises personnel, equipment, and other services.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was economic chaos, which was followed by further lockdowns. However, an increase in the usage of these services by governments boosted the market as facilities managers began to consider new options for remote work or socially distant workplaces. The growing awareness of hygiene, management, maintenance, and security helped drive industry expansion during the period.

Facility Management Market Trends

Integration of Artificial Intelligence in Facility Management Services to Boost Market Growth

The ability to process massive amounts of data and extract valuable information is an important factor in the use of artificial intelligence for facility management. Facility managers are able to leverage real-time data from a variety of sources, including the maintenance logs, internet of things sensors, occupancy reports, and energy consumption records through AI powered data analytics tools. These data-driven insights allow facility managers to make well-versed choices regarding space utilization, preventive maintenance, and resource allocation strategies. An example is that artificial intelligence can analyze past patterns of energy consumption to determine waste areas and provide recommendations on energy conservation measures.

By optimizing the energy consumption of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems based on occupancy data and weather forecasts, artificial intelligence optimizes their efficiency which will ultimately reduce operating costs and improve sustainability. The traditional approach to facility management usually consists of a reactive approach, which addresses the maintenance challenges after they arise. By providing proactive management, artificial intelligence challenges this paradigm. By employing machine learning algorithms, AI can predict equipment failures and maintenance needs based on patterns in historical data, further propelling industry growth.

Facility Management Market Growth Factors

Rise in Urbanization and Infrastructure Development to Accelerate Market Growth

Due to their direct impact on the demand for efficient management of built environment, urban development and infrastructure development are major drivers of the market. As cities expand to accommodate growing populations, urban development leads to an increase in construction activity. This will lead to the construction of new commercial buildings, residential developments, industry facilities, and infrastructure such as transport networks, utilities, and healthcare. The demand for these services is driven by the need to maintain, operate, and optimize these facilities on a continuous basis. A wide variety of establishments, such as office towers and shopping centers, residential highrises, and open spaces are developing rapidly due to increased urbanization. Specialized management and maintenance services are required for each type of facility, with a specific focus on its particular needs. Therefore, industry players are keen to tap into this demand and offer a comprehensive range of services to meet the needs of various urban infrastructure assets. These factors are poised to drive facility management market growth.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Inadequate Optimization Practices and Technology May Hinder Market Expansion

Limited use of technology is rarely a problem for some major facilities management service providers that have made significant initial investments in the provision of services due to contracts drawn up over many years. Large companies, in order to provide hard and soft services that allow them to offer better and enhanced services, often use innovative technologies such as BIMs (Building Information Models).

On the other hand, small and medium sized enterprises in different countries are not adequately implementing the inputs at the initial stage, which is the design stage. This is due to the lack of operational and maintenance practices in a number of SMEs. This results in sustainability related problems for construction facilities, particularly during the transitional phase and after occupancy.
