by Rebecca Walker — September 10, 2010—The facilities management market in the U.K. has reached a level of maturity that translates to limited potential for growth in certain sectors, according to a market report from AMA Research.
According to the report, the FM market is increasingly subject to the performance of the economy and margins are being squeezed as clients negotiate contracts that demand more work for less money.
The report shows that central and local government contracts account for 46% of the FM sector, while healthcare and education have been the fastest growing, reaching 20% of the U.K. FM market.
However, certain sectors show potential for growth, as outsourcing is less well established. These include local authorities, education, leisure, manufacturing and social housing, according to the report.
