"Catapult Your Business to Fore, Gain Competitive Advantage "
The Saudi Arabia facility management market size was valued at USD 23.54 billion in 2022. The market is projected to grow from USD 24.48 billion in 2023 to USD 43.48 billion by 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of 8.6% during the forecast period.
Rising governmental push for industry localization has become an important effort to transform the economic situation of GCC countries while reducing the region’s reliance on oil revenues. The GCC region has been facing economic disruptions since late 1990’s with rapid depletion and technical obsolescence of hydrocarbon reserves, along with oil price fluctuations. GCC countries have initiated several plans to spur the economies for developing private sectors that will generate job opportunities for the Saudi Arabia facility management labor force, thus creating industry localization and generating economic growth.
In the current market scenario, the Saudi 2030 Vision is playing a major role in surging economic development in the GCC region. This is expected to create ample market opportunities for the building & construction, automotive, and heavy engineering sectors, which is projected to surge the demand for these services across these sectors while gaining advantages from the socio-economic factors in the coming years.
Supply Chain Disruption Hindered the Market Growth During Pandemic
The COVID-19 outbreak had an adverse impact on the value chain and supply chain operations in this industry. The disturbance in the value and supply chain with volatile demand and supply of facility services along with strict government restrictions have curbed the logistics operations in the market.
As of November 2020, the number of COVID-19 active cases in the GCC region reduced by 50%, with mortality rates falling below the average rate. With the government’s focus over prioritizing health and economic need, fiscal and monetary policies were kept accommodative until the GCC region’s recovery is well established. Several manufacturers are currently working to install and initiate operations using robots to establish a sustainable, cost effective, and highly productive facility management department. These manufacturers are investing heavily in the development of robots and creation of collaborative robot infrastructure to automate the services and reduce the expenditure on labor cost. For 2020-2021, the Saudi Arabia’s market was estimated to exhibit a stable growth rate, owing to halted building and construction activities across the country, resulting in reduced demand for facility services from the end-user. The future years are expected to provide a steady recovery to the market owing to the reopening of manufacturing facilities and government initiatives that are trying to reshape the economic downfall since the emergence of the pandemic.

With the sudden outbreak of the pandemic in March 2020, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia faced two major issues of COVID-19 pandemic, and historic drop in oil prices and revenue simultaneously in several decades. The sudden halt in several sectors led to slow pace in the Vision 2030 program with declining foreign direct investments.
