New Management Value For Facility Management Industry Through ISO 41001:2018

Facility management is a booming industry. In 2017, the total global Facilities Management (FM) market was estimated to be worth US $1.15 trillion. Of this, the outsourced FM market was valued at US $466.5 billion, with Integrated Facilities Management (IFM) accounting for 11.5% of the segment. In the Global FM Market 2018 Report, the industry is with 1.7% workforce out of total working population globally.

The way of managing facility management is therefore getting more significant for the sector development financially and operationally.

The standard also aims to consistently meet the needs of interested parties in a sustainable manner.
