The new Market Intelligence Report from IWFM marks the institute’s most comprehensive and valuable analysis of the workplace and facilities management market to date. Building on its long-standing role as a global standard-setter and publisher of the annual Market Outlook report, IWFM has produced over 100 pages of detailed insights. The IWFM Market Intelligence Report 2025 paints a clear picture: the UK’s facilities management (FM) sector is thriving economically but wrestling with a critical challenge—people. Budgets are growing, technology is transforming workplaces, and outsourcing remains strong. But beneath the surface, a shortage of skilled talent is testing the industry’s resilience. Few understand this better than our Managing Director Peter Forshaw, who was asked to provide his insights gained through more than 25 years of experience in the sector. His reflections in the report cut to the heart of FM’s biggest people challenges: recruitment, retention, and skills gaps.
