The Facilities Management market has fallen to the lowest level of growth for 8 years as business uncertainty exerts pressure on client budgets and erodes average contract prices in 2019, according to MTW Research<\/a><\/h2>\n

Facilities Management market sales have declined to levels not seen since 2012, according to MTW, with pricing pressure representing a key threat to many FM contractors in 2019. This threat is set to grow as additional Brexit delays<\/a> and confusion are likely to further undermine growth. The analysis shows that almost 50% of FM contractors are now experiencing static or declining sales in 2019, with 30% of FM firms achieving only a \u2018mediocre\u2019 credit rating.<\/p>\n

The 200-page report identifies a number of longer term fundamentals which should underpin more healthy growth post 2020, including an increasing number of FM contractors resisting the \u2018race to the bottom\u2019 in terms of contract prices; a switch to \u2018outcome based measuring\u2019; growth in advanced data analytics and differentiation through technology all offering added value opportunities.<\/p>\n

In the short term, the report makes for difficult reading with FM market borrowing set to increase by more than \u00a31bn in 2019 with average debt levels rising by 20% in the last 6 years. MTW found that net worth for the FM industry has risen by just 8% since 2013 and actually declined in 2018 with a similar downward trend forecast for 2019.<\/p>\n

Margin erosion is not a new issue for the facilities management market but the research has identified that overall industry profitability has exhibited annual declines since 2017, suggesting a concerning longer-term trend is emerging.<\/p>\n

Commenting on this trend, MTW\u2019s director Mark Waddy said: \u201cThe sustained declines in profitability are manageable as long as the trend reverses as we expect post-2020, though we\u2019re expecting the pace of decline to quicken in 2019, with more than 30% of FM contractors currently reporting falls in profitability.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite the challenges evident, MTW forecast modest growth in 2019 for FM providers though the market is set to remain particularly competitive in terms of prices and margins.<\/p>\n
