The industry emerged from 3 main areas: property management, property operations & maintenance, and office administration. In the last 40+ years it has since grown into a strategic position which supports entire organizations. According to reports from the IFMA FM Research & Benchmarking Institute and Frost & Sullivan, these are the latest trends in the facilities management market.
