The Asia-Pacific integrated facilities management (IFM) market is witnessing stable growth, primarily supported by rapid growth and development of facilities management (FM) in developing markets, but offset by lower growth in mature markets. High construction activity and booming end-user sectors, coupled with the growing outsourcing culture and acceptance of higher-value IFM proposition among multinational companies (MNCs) and large corporations, are driving rapid growth of the IFM market in developing countries. In mature markets, the continuous demand for IFM via contract renewals and upcoming sectors adopting long-term partnerships with IFM providers are sustaining the market growth and demand. However, with the relatively low awareness among domestic end users, IFM market opportunities are limited to MNCs and large corporations and, to a certain extent, the public sector. The prevalence of single or bundled services as the preferred option among end users and service providers is deterring the development of the IFM market.

The market is expected to be driven by sectors that see high participation by MNCs, as these are key adopters of and believers in integrated concept and solutions. Often, the adoption of IFM among MNCs in a sector/country influence and trigger interest among other larger corporations in that particular sector or country market. The commercial segment remains the strongest end-user sector due to the high number of MNCs operating in it and the maturity among its end-users. Key growth opportunities that are observed in the Asia-Pacific IFM market focus on cost efficiency, long-term partnership, service standardization, critical environment, and real-time analytics. The pressure on budgets, together with concerns on cost management and quality, is affecting FM expenditures on facilities. The region also observes a growing need for long-term partnerships in attempts to reduce FM expenditure.
