The GCC Facility Management Market region is expected to reach a CAGR of 13.5% over the forecast period (2022-2031) owing to the developments in countries, such as the United Arab Emirates and Qatar. The boom in construction activities, led by the government, and the rising emphasis on green building practices are increasing the demand for facilities management in Qatar. In addition to the transport projects, the government aims at the rapid expansion of tourism, education, and real estate, in order to maintain its competencies under the Qatar National Vision 2030 (QNV 2030). Furthermore, as the deadline for the 2022 FIFA World Cup is nearing, the region is witnessing a rise in the construction activities and upgrading its infrastructure.
– According to the country’s Ministry of Finance, QAR 33.0 billion has been allocated for infrastructure projects, which is approximately 16.0% of the total expenditure planned in 2019. The infrastructure sector, with this budget allocation, covers the road, water, electricity, and sewerage networks, along with other public facilities.
– Furthermore, in an effort to enhance the capabilities of airports and offer the best aviation and cargo services, the government allocated 7.9% of the total expenditure in 2019, which covers the Rail Project, Doha Metro, and Hamad International Airport (expansion).
– The covid-19 pandemic has caused lockdown in various regions including GCC across the world. The pandemic has put public sector in crisis, enforcing governments to take quick decisions and implement drastic measures to protect community from risk. Due to this concentration shift, the region might face delays in political as well as business activities. Infrastructural projects are at halt, unavailability of labor, changes to the terms of an M&A transaction currently in progress, and deals could be delayed as a result. Additionally other end users such as manufacturing, commercial and retail sectors are also running at their minimal efficiencies. All the above factors will have a negative impact on the facility management market in GCC in short-medium term. In order to survive through this time, the facility management vendors are running at a higher operating cost despite the losses, due to the increased emphasis on hygiene.

Key Market Trends
Outsourced services to Witness Significant Growth
– As facility management accounts for 30% of a company’s expenses, outsourcing this to a third-party certified vendor is a way to optimize the costs by end-users. Use cases that suggest an optimized 20-30% costs on FM, due to outsourcing, generating a positive impact on the company’s income between 6% and 9%, have been evident in the region.
– Moreover, the influx of technology has been evident in the global FM scenario, where the emphasis on building automation (monitoring equipment and surroundings to plan scheduled maintenance, etc.) is increasing. In Qatar, vendors, such as Sodexo, are equipped to help a business reduce its energy costs by six-figure amounts (in some instances), thereby enabling the end-users to contribute to the reduction of carbon emission.
– Additionally, Qatar Green Building Council was launched aiming to increase awareness and knowledge of green building practices in Qatar. Owing to this, several IT companies and corporate offices of manufacturing companies in the region have invested in sustainable development which has driven the facility management solution demand in the country.
– From a vendor perspective, Qatar’s FM landscape is more concentrated with vendors offering single or bundled services compared to those offering integrated services. As high concentration levels are indicative of highly competitive forces, the integrated service space is expected to provide scope for new entrants or those looking to expand their service offerings.
– The outsourcing of continually more FM functions over the years has coincided with a shift from service bundling to service integration or integrated facility management (IFM, also referred to as total FM), sustainability management, and finally to workplace management. However, the lack of a consistent regulatory framework for the Facility Management industry in the UAE has been cited as one of the key challenges faced by the FM providers with the steady rise in the presence of large-scale conglomerates.
Qatar is Expected to Witness Significant Growth
– Qatar is among the leading FM markets in the GCC region, according to IWFM. Strong infrastructural development and the focus on “green building” have been driving the market for FM services in the region. The market in Qatar can be categorized as a “high customer awareness” market, considering the changing lifestyles and the increasing demand for outsourced FM services. Qatar is reported to be one of the regions with the highest construction spending worldwide, keeping the industry in steady growth year-over-year. The construction sector in the region, in the last two years, has maintained its growth trajectory with continued infrastructural spending.
– The process of sustainable business practices, as promoted by QGBC, aims at “enhancing the capacity of organizations to become more sustainable, while simultaneously strategically improving their ability to achieve their main objectives by optimizing environmental, financial and social factors”.
