Hungary’s position as a Central European manufacturing and business-services hub, the EUR 300 million EU-funded building-renovation wave and rising ESG compliance obligations underpin this expansion. Strong commercial real-estate occupancy, accelerating industrial automation, and large-scale energy-efficiency upgrades are sustaining steady demand for both hard and soft service streams. Multinational corporations continue to outsource facilities work to experienced partners, while local providers leverage proprietary robotics and IoT platforms to defend margins. Currency volatility and an acute skilled-labour shortage remain the main headwinds for the Hungary facility management market.
