This analysis highlights the critical role of granular data in fully understanding market dynamics and growth opportunities.
The public sector remains the largest driver, accounting for £7.19 billion (51%) of the total market. Healthcare represents £1.57 billion from 184 contracts, reflecting high-value demand in this critical sector. Central Government, with £1.55 billion from only 84 contracts, emphasises the significance of complex, large-scale FM engagements. Local Government, with £1.32 billion distributed across 691 contracts, provides a fragmented but diverse landscape of opportunities for FM providers.
