CLICK HERE TO READ THE FULL REPORT
Morgan Business Sales is proud to present our comprehensive 2025 Mid-Year Facilities Management Sector M&A Update report. This insightful report provides an essential overview of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activity within the facilities management sector— highlighting emerging trends, challenges, and opportunities impacting buyers and sellers alike.
Robust M&A Activity Amid Market Uncertainty
Despite macroeconomic and geopolitical headwinds, facilities management M&A deals remain resilient. The first quarter of 2025 saw approximately 7,600 deals close globally — a 6% increase compared to Q1 2024 — though slightly down by 12% from the previous quarter. This strong deal appetite is driven by the sector’s mission-critical demand, recurring revenue models, and consolidation tailwinds.
Strategic Drivers and Sector Trends
Key growth factors influencing M&A in the FM sector include digital transformation, sustainability initiatives, and expanding service portfolios. The report highlights how businesses are targeting acquisitions to enhance technological capabilities and operational efficiencies. However, rising input costs and labor market pressures continue to shape deal structures and valuations.
Noteworthy Transactions
Private equity-backed firms remained highly active acquirers, completing numerous strategic buys across fire safety, HVAC services, security, landscaping, and more. For example, companies like Pye-Barker Fire & Safety, PremiStar, and Encore Fire Protection led several transactions, illustrating ongoing investor confidence in the sector’s long-term potential.
Valuation and Market Sentiment
The Lincoln Facilities Services Index valued at 14.0x EV/EBITDA as of Q1 2025 reflects a slight dip from Q4 2024; meanwhile, the S&P 1500 Environmental and Facilities Services Index increased to 17.8x, signaling robust investor interest in select target segments.
What This Means for Buyers and Sellers
Business owners considering an exit or succession plan in 2025 can use the report’s valuation benchmarks and market insights to position their companies effectively. Buyers can better identify acquisition opportunities aligned with growth and innovation goals.
