Market data

One of the main objectives of EuroFM is becoming the central source of FM related information. The 'EuroFM Market Data' project is focused on just that. It uses the EN15221 structure to gather European market data. The project was proposed by FMN at the Member Meeting in Groningen. The board decided to embrace the proposal and include it in its 2010-2011 Work Plan. At the same time IREBS student Sven Teichmann delivered his report stating the European FM market would be € 640 billion large. Also, the increased interest for FM from the investment market and construction industry formed an argument to try and create transparancy and in doing so raise the image of FM as being the largest Business Services sector. The goals of the project were defined:

1. Yearly measurement of the market volume of European FM
2. Collect existing FM market data from the European countries (no academic research)
3. Sort the data on the bases of the EN15221 classification
4. Present the result to the European market.

Members of the project team were selected:

• Representing Belgium and Luxembourg: Mr. Jos Duchamps, PROCOS (also project manager)
• Representing Spain, Portugal, Malta, Greece, Turkey: Dr. David Martinez, Bureau Veritas (also Chair PNG EuroFM)
• Representing the Baltic States: Prof. Roode Liias, AEFAM
• Representing The Netherlands: Mrs. Dorien Michels, FMN
• Representing Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Iceland: Prof. Per Anker Jensen, Danisch CFM
• Representing UK, Ireland and Scotland: Dr. Maragaret Nelson, Bolton University  (endorsed by BIFM)
• Representing Switserland, Germany, Austria, Italy and France: Mr. Peter Staub, POM+
• Representing Rumania, Hungary, Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Slovakia, and Poland: Mr. Ondrej Strup, IFMA Czech Republic and Mr. Jozsef Czerny, HFMS
