Finland Facility Management Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, And Forecasts (2022 - 2027)

The Finland facility management market is expected to register a CAGR of 1.2% during the forecast period (2022-2027).

Key Highlights

• Facility management (FM) is a profession that encompasses multiple disciplines to ensure comfort, functionality, efficiency, and safety of the built environment by integrating people, process, place, and technology.
• In terms of digital maturity and penetration of technology, the facilities management market lags behind other tasks such as production equipment maintenance. Although technology is available for facilities management, a lack of digital skills inside the department, other leadership priorities, and an emphasis on constant cost-cutting have all stymied adoption.
• These considerations have made the facilities management outsourcing industry appealing to prominent suppliers who were already involved in this role, either directly or indirectly. In order to gain a larger share of the market, several incumbents have developed an integrated facilities management offering.
• Furthermore, the demand for facility management solutions and services is declining due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Due to reduced business operations in many sectors, there is a massive decline in the production and supply of raw materials, including transportation, manufacturing, and real estate. This leads to a reduction in the demand for FM services in these areas. The employees are not willing to work even with raw materials due to the fear of a pandemic.
• However, with the regular resuming of business operations after the lockdown, facility management solutions and services are increasing due to the requirement of workplace management in the organizations. Additionally, FM providers have been experiencing staff shortages due to various factors that include lockdown restrictions, furloughing self-isolation, and illness.

Key Market Trends

Government and Public Entities sector is expected to be the fastest growing

In addition, the infrastructure comprises facilities covering land, air, and water transportation.
• The government buildings in the country use services, such as fire alarms and safety, energy management solutions, CCTV monitoring services, and other integrated facility management services.
• In terms of the end-user demand, the contribution of the public sector to the facility management market in the United Kingdom is more significant than in any other part of Europe. This is primarily driven by the constrained budgets provided by the government that leads to the continuous outsourcing of essential facility management services.
• Furthermore, bundled services contracts are poised to benefit from the public spending cuts, as the public sector customers are looking to reduce the suppliers and cut costs. This is also in line with the developments in various public sector bodies that are continually improving their operations.
• Additionally, in July 2021, Helsinki Airport (HEL) took part in a pilot of an autonomous electric street sweeper. Finnish street maintenance technology developer Trombia Technologies in partnership with facility services company ISS Finland are trialling the vehicle in the areas around HEL’s Terminal 1 and P3 parking area.

Other End-user industries is expected to hold the largest market share

Companies in the region provide highly specialized services that keep other firms operating securely and at peak efficiency from the food production floors to the distribution center when service space is cared for with stringent standards and meticulous outcomes.
• For instance, ISS Facility Services is continuing the five-year partnership signed recently with the international production company in the food and beverage segment. The partnership covers Integrated Facility Services at offices, warehouses, and production facilities in 20 countries across Europe and may have more than 2,000 employees working on the contract, which may run for five years.
• An increase in disposable income among people in Europe has propelled the growth of the tourism industry, which finds substantial applications in the facility management market in the region.
