Lack of Awareness, Technical Issues and High Costs are Likely to be a Challenge for the Market Progress

Several big facilities management service firms that made a significant initial investment in facility services experienced few issues as a result of long-term contracts. Most of the time, major organizations use novel technologies, such as Building Information Modelling (BIM), to deliver hard and soft services, allowing them to give better and upgraded services. On the other hand, small and medium-sized businesses in many nations are insufficiently applying the inputs at the early step, which is the designing stage. Because small and medium-sized businesses lack Operation & Maintenance (O&M) practices, this leads to sustainability issues in building facilities, particularly during the post-occupancy period.

Furthermore, service providers in developed and emerging economies such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, and China deal with key challenges such as a lack of understanding on how to use technology in their practice, lack of assistance on data needs and delivery and technical issues. In addition, many organizations are unaware of the benefits of facility management. The problem is caused by a lack of understanding and acceptance of the necessary technologies. Many businesses are still deploying cloud computing technologies and have not yet established an IoT ecosystem. As a result, they are the key factors impeding market expansion. However, in order to tackle such challenges, the workforce and cost control will be critical.

Acquisitions and Partnerships are Providing Traction to the Market Development

Major market participants are concentrating their efforts on research and development in order to manufacture products that meet the demands of their customers. They also explore various market strategies, such as technological advancements, mergers, and acquisitions, in order to get a competitive advantage in the global market. For example, in September 2022, Aldar Properties PJSC ("Aldar") declared that it is expanding its property and integrated facilities management platform by acquiring Spark Security Services, a renowned UAE-based manned guarding security services provider. This acquisition benefitted both companies by opening doors for a broad portfolio of existing assets and enabling new business development. Later, in October 2022, Apleona, a European market leader in integrated facilities situated in Neu-Isenburg near Frankfurt am Main, entered a contract for the acquisition of Acacia Facilities Holdings Limited and its subsidiary Acacia Facilities Management Limited.

This partnership was anticipated to improve the service that both Apleona and Acacia provided. Earlier, in August 2021, Imdaad Group had announced cooperation with Disrupt-X, a Dubai-based IoT development business, to use IoT technology to improve FM services in the UAE by monitoring indoor air quality (IAQ) and the water quality of swimming pools and tanks. Disrupt-X's Ignite Shield provides a number of solutions, including Smart Outdoor and Indoor Air Quality Monitoring, Smart Water Infrastructure Monitoring (water leakage with data breakdown), water tanks monitoring, SPA monitoring, industrial assets monitoring, swimming pool monitoring, and water pressure monitoring from single homes to buildings and communities.
