Summary

The France facility management market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.01%, during the forecast period, 2022-2027. The market is driven by rising government contracts in the cleaning sector, with increasing service contracts being renewed in the retail industry. However, the market has witnessed slow rejuvenation over the last few months and seems promising for the country.

Key Highlights
Some of the emerging players, such as Watts, have launched a new facility management app called DIGISCO in the country, which is a cloud-based solution that simplifies and manages the entire test and control of backflow preventers workflow for all Backflow testers in facility management. The app is based on constant attention to customer and service managers' needs.
France is one of the prominent FM markets in Europe, after the United Kingdom and Germany. The presence of large private and public sector business entities in the country is also paving the growth of the FM market. The market also provides opportunities for existing suppliers and new entrants from other countries to set up their FM businesses in France. Further, the situation is changing as FM awareness grows and outsourcing is becoming more commonly accepted, which is expected to provide growth in France's FM market, particularly for integrated facility management (IFM) delivery models.
Moreover, the extensive outsourcing activities done by the government entities in the country have led to saturation in the public sector. The public sector companies have focused on maintaining long-term relationships with facility management players through contract extensions.
The outbreak of COVID-19 has had a mixed business impact on facilities management firms. The restrictions on the movement of people resulted in a decline in project work and a decreased level of activity across many customer sites. Significant players in the country, such as IBM, CBRE Group, and others, were adversely affected due to the pandemic lockdown.
France provides a stable market for the facility management service providers, and it is expected to remain stable in the coming years as the services have returned to normalcy after a year of global setbacks. Thus, the studied market is expected to steadily grow in the forecasted period.


Key Market Trends

Commercial buildings remains the largest market share holder


The commercial entities cover office buildings constructed or occupied by business services, such as corporate offices of IT and communication, manufacturers, and other service providers. Owing to the provision of necessary fitments and interiors and commercial buildings, decoration and management have gained significant importance, thereby driving the market in the country's commercial sector.
The Facility Management market in France is witnessing multiple partnership activities between the vendors and the commercial entities. For instance, in October 2021, Siemens Energy which recently spun off from Siemens AG to operate as a separate company, extended its partnership with Société Parisienne pour l 'Industrie Electrique for three years to ensure technical facility management for Siemen's office and production space that covers around 385,000 square meters.
The infrastructure works of many projects in the country consist of electrical substations, internal roads with loading and unloading areas, networks for potable water, firefighting systems, irrigation, stormwater and foul water, and their respective tanks.These have led to the increased demand for fire safety, electrical maintenance, technical support and maintenance, cleaning, HVAC, and other facility management services in the country.
Moreover, Eurostat estimates that the revenue generated from construction of buildings in the country could surpass USD 93.24 Billion by 2025. Thus, it would create signifcant oppurtunities for the studied market growth.


Integrated Facility Management is expected to witness the highest growth rate


There is a paradigm shift in the market as multiple industries are transforming from utilizing a single FM outsourcing type of model to an integrated services model that can meet all the core needs of customers on a large scale. In addition, with newer technology transforming the way organizations work, integrated facility management has become the key to smart buildings and work environments in the country.
It consolidates all of the organization’s office- and property-related services and processes under a single contract and management team. It is a one-stop-shop for all the FM needs of an organization. A company could forego multiple, at times confusing, vendor contracts favoring just one service agreement. This would also involve placing multiple responsibilities handled individually by different teams under a single umbrella.
The trends in the French market are for a progression from single services to bundled services and further toward the integrated facilities management approach. This offers a broad scope of services provided and longer-term contracts, which adds value and drives better quality and economies of scale. Also, this is increasing the demand for outsourced services, where specialist expertise is required.


Competitive Landscape

The France facility management market is moderately fragmented due to the presence of a few key players concentrated in the country. These major players have adopted various growth strategies, such as mergers and acquisitions, new product launches, expansions, joint ventures, partnerships, and others to strengthen their position in this market. The major players in the market are IBM Corporation, Oracle Corporation, SAP SE, and Planon Corporation, among others.


February 2022 - ATALIAN renewed its facilities management contract with the Institut Gustave Roussy in France. ATALIAN has been associated with this client for the past 5 years with its cleaning and related services (bio-cleaning, blanking, distribution of patient meals, etc.).
