Growing Industries and Infrastructure Sectors Fuel the Demand
Growing industries, infrastructure, and the commercial sector in Australia are fueling the demand for facility management services. Industries such as healthcare, retail, mining, and commercial real estate sectors have grown over the years, and the need for efficient facility management has become crucial for them to sustain for a long period. Organizations are recognizing the importance of maintaining operational efficiency in the market, thus enhancing service delivery, leading to a surge in outsourced facility management solutions. Additionally, the rise in construction activities and infrastructure development requires comprehensive management services to ensure these facilities operate smoothly. This widespread demand is further augmented by cutting-edge technologies, helping organizations to opt for smarter and more efficient means of facilities. As a result, growth in the infrastructure sector and industries will drive the demand for facility management services throughout the country. Major companies are forming partnerships to deliver advanced solutions tailored to specific industry needs.

Demand for Facilities in Government Institutions Drives the Market
The demand for facilities in government institutions is broadly driving the facility management market. The government prioritizes modernizing infrastructure, enhancing public services, and having optimal facility management across departments. The Australian government’s initiatives for maintaining existing buildings, ensuring compliance with regulations, and planning new developments are working as additive factors in supplementing this demand.
Institutions require efficient management of their buildings, offices, and public infrastructure to ensure smooth operations and uninterrupted service delivery. As governments continue to expand their infrastructure and modernize public services, companies are catering to the demand for professional facility management solutions.
For instance, in June 2023, Ventia Pty Ltd was awarded a contract by Australia’s Department of Defence. The new Defence Maintenance Contract introduces a refreshed approach to Defence Maintenance Support Services and is projected to generate approximately USD 393 million in revenue over the next five years, with the potential for an additional five-year extension. In this regard, the facility management industry is experiencing immense growth as the importance of managing government facilities continues to rise.
Soft Services Dominate the Market
Soft services dominate the facility management segment in the Australian markets. These soft services include cleaning, security, catering, pest control, and landscaping, which are vital to enhancing workplace productivity and customer satisfaction. Organizations are focusing more on soft services to ensure that their spaces are safe, hygienic, and welcoming for employees and visitors. The growing focus on maintenance and well-being required businesses to align with global standards and improve operational efficiency in certain industries, such as hospitality, schools, and institutions, which have further elevated the demand for these services. With advancements in technology and emphasis on quality service delivery, soft services continue to play a pivotal role in shaping the facility management industry, making them indispensable to modern business operations.
For instance, in January 2024, ISS Facility Services Australia Limited renewed its partnership with Griffith University, reinforcing its position as a leader in facilities management within the education sector. The ISS renewed the agreement, effective from July 2024. This long-term contract expands the current scope of services to include internal and external cleaning, hygiene services, waste removal and transfer, and consumables supply.
