Europe Soft Facility Management Market Analysis
The Europe Soft Facility Management market revenue is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.0% over the next five years. Key soft facility management companies, such as Cbre group Inc, Mitie Group PLC, Emcor Facilities Services WLL, Atlas FM Ltd, and Sodexo Inc., are constantly innovating by making significant R&D investments.
- Increasing investments in the healthcare sector with new production facilities are expected to drive the growth of the market studied. For instance, in May last year, BD (Becton, Dickinson, and Company) built a USD 200 million high-tech manufacturing facility in Zaragoza, Spain, to support the production of pre-fillable syringes for vaccines and other biologics.
- The market is witnessing multiple strategic acquisitions between the market leaders in these regions. For instance, Samsic acquired Uniserve building cleaning GmbH, a German cleaning and security services provider. The acquisition will strengthen its services in Germany, including hygiene, cleaning, green spaces, snow removal, and safety services.
- Long-term soft facility management services contracts will create new growth opportunities for the market. For instance, A&R services won a new commercial cleaning contract with the Bart Ingredients Company to provide cleaning services in Severn Beach, Bristol.
- The spread of COVID-19 forced the mass closure of workspaces and the implementation of work-from-home policies in most industries, especially in the corporate buildings of the IT and telecommunication sectors, which negatively affected the market. However, for some businesses, the new normal initially meant virus-proofing their offices through short-term fixes, new working patterns, and long-term design upgrades that put hygiene at the core of running the workplace. This positively impacted the region's soft services, such as COVID-19 cleaning services.
- The post-COVID-19 periodhas encouraged the Europe soft facility management vendors to increase investments in mergers and acquisitions to improve service and technology, in order to gain an edge in the market. For instance, in October last year, Levy merged with the Zoove group, a German company that offers facility management to enable SaaS solutions in the cleaning facility management sector. The technological upgrade helps Zoove optimize the planning, analysis, quality management, and communication along with reporting the status of working hours, room status, and cleaning activities in real-time with a mobile application. Therefore, with increased digitization trends, the adoption of modern soft facility management is expected to increase during the forecast period.
