Professional Facility Management on the Rise in the CEE Countries

The market for facility management in Central and Eastern Europe (Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary) is currently benefiting from solid economic trends. In fact, the overall market for external facility management is set to increase 6.6% in 2018 over the previous year. According to a study by Interconnection Consulting, annual growth in this sector to 2021 is expected to be 6.8%.

 

In 2017, external services in facility management in the four countries studied garnered one-third of the market. This share is expected to continue to rise sharply in the upcoming years. Compared to the annual growth rate of 6.8% in external facility management, internal facility management will grow at only a rate of 1.2%. “It’s the recent investments by the automotive industry, such as BMW in Hungary and Jaguar in Slovakia, and also the commitment by international companies in other sectors that have been promoting the development of professional facility management,” explains Jan Hudak, author of the study.

 

Technical Services on the Fast Track

Infrastructure services represents the largest product group, garnering the lion’s share of the market (49.6%). Within infrastructure services, cleaning is the largest service, with a share of 35.5%, following by security (32.7%). The security sector is currently undergoing a tremendous technological shift on account of new monitoring methods that use technology instead of personnel. The second-largest product group is technical services, with a share of 37.6%, followed by commercial services with 12.9%. These two sectors will also be experiencing strong growth in the future since professional management will be required to accommodate the boom in construction.

 

Trade the #1 Customer Group

The leading customer group is trade, with a share of 29.5%, followed by industry (28.1%). Trade is actually expected to further increase its share in the upcoming years, whereas industry will be facing a slight decline. Strong growth is also forecast for sports & entertainment and hotels. “The government is also becoming a more vital customer as it attempts to professionalize and economize its services through outsourcing,” Hudak explains.

 

Fragmented Market

The market for facility management in the four countries analyzed is extremely fragmented. Over 40,000 companies are in the facility management business, which explains the very low level of market concentration. The top ten companies have a mere 7.8% share of the market. The leading companies are ISS, Impel, Atalian, Securitas, G4s, Sodexo, Compass Group, Mitie, Elior, Servest, Bilfinger, and Strabag.
