The industry of the management and operation of buildings is in constant evolution, the arrival of new technologies, as well as the professionalization of the people linked to this work promote a continuous improvement of the processes necessary for an optimal performance of the buildings.
In that sense, knowing the trends, opportunities and difficulties that could arise in the future for service and facility management companies are a tool that allows us to be prepared to face these realities.
That is why I think it is important to highlight some conclusions published in the study "Vision 2020", prepared by the services company ISS, in which you can find some predictions made by industry experts for the next fifteen years.
According to the study, the two aspects that will mark the future of the sector are new technologies and sustainability. In the case of new technologies, the convergence of nanotechnology, biotechnology and information and communication technologies are the issues that will have the greatest impact in the future.
Similarly, the implementation of the Internet of Things and improved data collection will also help shape the development of the FM sector. On the sustainability side, this issue will continue to be of great importance for all kinds of industries and its challenges include the management of energy, water and waste.
It is a reality that the FM industry is still young, but it is becoming professionalized quickly. New technologies, management techniques, service requirements and approaches to the value chain will be transformed in the next decade and industry professionals must be prepared for these changes.
