FM OUTSOURCING
MARKET SET TO GROW
BY £2BN IN 2019
A new report on the UK Facilities Management
Outsourcing market from MTW Research suggests that
outsourcing will grow by £2 billion in 2019, with the FM
market forecast to rise by more than £10 billion by 2022.
Based on data from 80 per cent of the FM market, the
report suggests that whilst FM trends will continue to reflect
sustained pricing pressure in a challenging market in 2019,
growth opportunities for FM companies and their suppliers
remain significant. For example, pressure on clients’
productivity in 2019 is highlighted as a key opportunity for FM
providers to grow margins.
The report discusses 20 emerging and critical success
factors for the FM market, with trends including contract
selectivity, convergence and the equitable accounting of risk
divestment identified as key areas to enhance margins in the
FM market.
Based on sales data from companies worth £90 billion,
MTW found that net worth of the FM market will rise by
nine per cent by 2022, reflecting a slowdown from the 16
per cent growth in previous years. Despite this slowdown,
the report identifies an additional £2.6 billion of sales for
‘bundled outsourcing’, highlighting that whilst growth will
become more elusive in the FM market, healthy opportunities
for revenue and profit growth will exist through more
sophisticated targeting and marketing.
The 10th edition report includes end use sector shares,
identifying the best and worst performing FM markets. In
previous years the security and catering sectors o ered
growth opportunities, though MTW also point to the
forthcoming Public Spending Review in 2019 as potentially
o ering new sales stimulus as austerity comes to an end.
Security services are set to boost the FM market by £1.5
billion, with property maintenance and o ice support
services rising by £5 billion combined. The end of the PFI era
will also have a dramatic e ect on the market as this pipeline
is replaced by other mechanisms.
The impact of Brexit on the FM market is also provided, with
MTW identifying key growth trends set to o set the inevitable
Brexit e ect. Disruptive technology, communications,
outcome based success measurement, data collection and
content analysis amongst others are assessed, with recent
mergers and acquisitions also pointing to what could be a
seismic shi in how FM outsourcing is perceived from within
and outside the industry in the next few years.
