Growth Opportunities in the UK Facility Management Market, Forecast to 2025

Growth Opportunities in the UK Facility Management Market, Forecast to 2025

The facility management (FM) market in the United Kingdom is going through a transformation driven by technology innovation, new business models, emerging value propositions, and creative new service offerings. The UK FM market is one of the most developed and mature in the world with a highly competitive international supply base. FM services are commoditising and organic growth is hard to find so companies need to innovate if they are to keep growing and remain profitable. The industry will continue to move towards service integration and sophisticated advisory services focused on business productivity and M&A activity will continue apace.

The UK FM market has evolved to become the largest in Europe and one of the most sophisticated and competitive in the world. However, competition is fierce and both growth and margins are under pressure from commoditisation and customers. There are good opportunities for companies that target the highest growth services and sectors, but there are also significant challenges for those that fail to adapt (as we witnessed with the collapse and exit from the market of Carillion in 2018). Meanwhile, collaboration and partnership are increasingly critical as the UK market becomes disrupted by technology and new business models.
