FacilityNews.it reports the Italian FM market at €25B turnover and ~300,000 jobs, riding a structural expansion phase. Globally the FM segment is projected to cross USD 10B by 2031, driven by digitalisation, the shift to integrated multi-service contracts, and the move to ecosustainable management models. For FM operators, the message is consolidation: clients want fewer, larger contracts that bundle hard + soft FM with measurable ESG outcomes.
