SMART Facilities Management – the future for the built environment

The global facility management industry is estimated to grow from $24.65 billion in 2014 to $43.69 billion by 2019. Facilities Management is the most outsourced service with 82% in the current market demand.  It is predicted to rise up to 93% over the next 3 – 5 years, making sustainable urbanisation a major construction challenge as industries strive towards innovative products and solutions to contribute to building smarter cities.

Market revenues of global building energy management solutions are forecasted to grow at CAGR of around 19% from 2013 to 2018. The advent of SMART Technology and the Internet of Things (IoT) is transforming facilities management – from ensuring operational continuity and managing the increasing complexity of buildings to merging legacy buildings and their systems with facilities expansions, maintaining aging infrastructure, and improving reporting and compliance.

Featuring key profiles centering on four main sectors namely Mission Critical facilities, Leisure & Tourism facilities, Transport & Public facilities as well as Building & Infrastructure facilities, the trade show further incorporates 3 key segments in Energy Management, Security Solutions and Air Conditioning & Mechanical Ventilation (ACMV) / Environmental Management making it the most comprehensive and focused trade platform which remains highly integral to redefining SMART facilities management.

Some 3000 attendees are expected to visit and experience the SMART and innovative showcase of some 180 exhibiting companies from around the world namely Australia, China, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, Spain, Taiwan and the United Kingdom.
