GCC Facility Management Market is Expected to Register a 10.2% CAGR Through 2030F

Adoption of Smart Technologies & IoT Integration, Rapid Urbanization & Infrastructure Development and Increased Focus on Sustainability & Energy Efficiency are likely to drive the market during the forecast period.

According to TechSci Research report, “GCC Facility Management Market – By Country, Competition, Forecast and Opportunities, 2020-2030F”, GCC Facility Management Market was valued at USD 64.09 Billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 115.82 Billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 10.2% during the forecast period. Government regulations and policies play a significant role in driving the facility management market in the GCC region. In recent years, there has been a growing emphasis on the need for regulatory frameworks to ensure the safety, sustainability, and efficiency of buildings. Governments in the GCC are introducing and enforcing policies aimed at improving the quality of facilities, enhancing building safety, and encouraging energy efficiency, all of which directly impact the demand for facility management services.

For instance, many GCC countries have introduced building codes and regulations that mandate specific standards for energy efficiency, fire safety, and environmental sustainability. These regulations are often tied to building certifications, such as LEED or Estidama, which require buildings to meet certain environmental and operational standards. As a result, building owners and managers are increasingly turning to professional facility management services to help them comply with these regulations. These regulations also extend to the health and safety of building occupants. The introduction of strict health and safety guidelines, particularly in response to global concerns like the COVID-19 pandemic, has increased the focus on sanitation, ventilation, and cleanliness in buildings. Facility managers are now responsible for ensuring that buildings comply with these health standards, which has created new opportunities for service providers in the market. As governments continue to introduce more stringent policies, the demand for skilled facility management professionals who are familiar with local regulations and compliance standards will only increase. This regulatory push is expected to remain a significant driver of the FM market in the GCC region, as building owners and developers seek to ensure compliance while optimizing operational efficiency and reducing costs.

Based on Deployment Type, on-premises is the fastest growing segment in the market during the forecast period due to the region’s unique regulatory, security, and infrastructure conditions. While cloud-based solutions are gaining global traction, GCC organizations—particularly those in government, oil & gas, military, and real estate—are showing a strong preference for on-premises models due to several critical advantages. One major driver is data security and regulatory compliance. Many GCC countries have stringent national data laws that require sensitive operational data to be stored within national borders. On-premises solutions allow facility managers to retain full control over data storage, access, and encryption, which is especially crucial in sectors such as defense, utilities, and critical infrastructure. The high upfront investment capacity of large real estate developers and public-sector entities in the GCC supports on-premises systems. Unlike smaller markets where capital expenditure is a barrier, GCC companies often have the financial strength to implement and maintain in-house servers and IT infrastructure, offering them greater customization, integration with legacy systems, and long-term cost predictability.

Furthermore, many large-scale developments such as NEOM, The Red Sea Project, and Dubai Smart City are deploying advanced on-site Building Management Systems (BMS) and Integrated Workplace Management Systems (IWMS). These systems often require real-time performance, low-latency control, and localized data processing, making on-premises deployment technically preferable over cloud alternatives. In addition, cybersecurity concerns are more pronounced in the GCC, especially with the rising number of cyberattacks in critical infrastructure. On-premises models offer enhanced control over firewalls, access points, and physical data center security.

Based on country, the UAE is the fastest-growing region in the GCC Facility Management (FM) market due to several key factors driving rapid urban development, innovation, and economic diversification. First, the UAE, particularly Dubai and Abu Dhabi, has been a hub for large-scale infrastructure projects, including iconic skyscrapers, luxury hotels, commercial offices, and residential developments. The country's ambitious construction initiatives, such as the Expo 2020 Dubai and major real estate projects, have significantly increased the demand for facility management services to maintain and operate these complex facilities efficiently.

The UAE's commitment to sustainability has greatly contributed to the growth of the FM market. The government has set stringent regulations and goals for energy efficiency, green building practices, and carbon footprint reduction. Initiatives like the Dubai Green Building Regulations and the UAE Vision 2021 aim to create a more sustainable urban environment, increasing the demand for advanced facility management solutions that integrate energy management, smart building technologies, and sustainable practices. Facility managers are increasingly focusing on implementing energy-efficient systems, smart HVAC technologies, and waste reduction measures, creating new market opportunities.

The UAE’s drive for technological innovation and digital transformation has propelled the FM sector forward. The adoption of smart technologies, such as IoT, Building Information Modeling (BIM), and Integrated Workplace Management Systems (IWMS), is accelerating in the region. These technologies help streamline facility operations, reduce costs, and improve service delivery, making the UAE a leader in FM modernization within the GCC.
