How FM firms are struggling with supply chain challenges….

KSA FM Market to Reach $75 Billion by 2030

The GCC Facilities Management (FM) services industry is set for massive expansion, with Saudi Arabia (KSA) expected to lead the charge. According to industry experts, the KSA FM market is projected to reach $75 billion by 2030 due to increased infrastructure investments across the region.

Untapped Potential in GCC FM Industry

Imran Safdar, CEO at Mukamel Facilities Services (MFS), emphasized the untapped potential in the Gulf region’s FM sector.

“Currently, only 40% of the FM industry is organized, highlighting a sector still in its early stages. Many clients either keep FM operations in-house or outsource to multiple small service providers rather than adopting portfolio management policies,” said Safdar.

Mukamel Facilities Services, established in 2023 in KSA, is headquartered in Saudi Arabia and operates in Asia and North Africa. The company is the only fully integrated FM specialist serving the Middle East, South Asia, and Africa.

Saudi Arabia Leading the FM Industry Growth

Saudi Arabia is projected to drive the FM industry forward with a 20% year-on-year growth rate. Local firms with a proven track record, like MFS, are positioned to capitalize on this expansion by offering diversified services and innovative solutions.

MFS Business Strategy for the Next Five Years

Mukamel Facilities Services plans to expand its operations across KSA and beyond. The company’s five-year growth strategy includes:

• Expansion in Key Cities: MFS aims to increase its presence in strategic cities to meet growing client demands and secure long-term FM contracts.
• Diversification of Services: The company will strengthen its market standing by offering a wider range of technical, soft, and value-added FM services.
• Regional Leadership: MFS seeks to become a leading player in the organized FM sector across the MENA region.
• Security Services Introduction: In the second phase, MFS plans to introduce security services operations as part of its Integrated Facilities Management (IFM) solutions.

Strengthening Market Position

To maintain its leadership in the FM industry, MFS is focusing on:

• Strategic Expansion Through Acquisitions in emerging markets in MENA and South Asia.
• Operational Cost Optimization to enhance the commercial lifecycle of developments.
• Enhancing Training & Development Programs to build a skilled FM workforce.

Challenges in the FM Industry

Imran Safdar outlined three key challenges faced by the FM industry:

1. Unorganized Sector: A significant portion of FM service providers lack the experience, knowledge, and skills to meet global standards.
2. Talent Acquisition & Retention: The FM sector competes with engineering and construction industries for skilled manpower, making recruitment and retention a major challenge.
3. Late Engagement in Projects: FM providers are often involved only at the handover stage, instead of being integrated into the design phase, which leads to increased operational costs later.

Mukamel’s Commitment to Workforce Development

MFS recognizes that talent is critical for its success. To address the industry’s skill gap, the company has implemented a Training & Development Program that includes:

• Competency Assessments & Needs Analysis for employees.
• Training in Hard & Soft Services and FM best practices.
• Structured Career Progression Paths to retain top talent.

Final Thoughts

With strong market expansion plans, a focus on service diversification, and a commitment to workforce development, Mukamel Facilities Services is set to lead the transformation of the FM industry in Saudi Arabia and beyond.
