Press Release - January 2026

• After growing 5.4% in 2024, provisional data indicate that the value of the market for technical building and facilities maintenance services stood above €11 billion in 2025, posting growth of 5.2% year-over-year.

• The top five companies jointly control 22% of the market by value, a share that rises only to 32% when the top ten are considered, which underscores the sector's continued fragmentation.

• INFORMA's DBK Sectoral Observatory recently published these insights in the 'Building and Facilities Maintenance' Special Report.

Madrid, 22 January 2026.- According to INFORMA's (Cesce's subsidiary) DBK Sectoral Observatory—a leading provider of business, financial, sectoral, and marketing information in Spain and Portugal—turnover from the provision of technical building and facilities maintenance services rose again in 2024, supported by favourable demand trends, albeit with a smaller increase than in the previous year. Sector revenue thus reached €10.49 billion, up 5.4%, compared with 8.2% in 2023.

The industry, energy and other facilities segment again showed the strongest momentum, rising 6.2% to €4.615 billion and accounting for 44% of the total. Building maintenance reached €5.875 billion, up 4.8%. However, the latter segment continued to carry the greatest weight, accounting for 56% of the total.

By type of service, lift maintenance accounted for 22% of sector revenue, followed by industrial machinery maintenance services (19%) and electrical/lighting facilities (19%), with HVAC services next (13%).

Provisional data for year-end 2025 indicate the market may have stood above €11 billion, with growth of around 5.2%, thereby maintaining a trend of continued slowing in growth.

The sector features a small number of large operators, with activity in most of Spain's autonomous communities. However, most companies are medium-sized or small and operate locally or regionally.

Among the leading operators are multiservice groups, specialising in the provision of different general services to companies, as well as power and telecom equipment installation companies. They are joined by lift manufacturers and installers, which maintain the equipment installed.

The sector is seeing a trend towards greater concentration of activity among the leading operators. The top five held a combined market share of 22.1% in 2024; the top ten, 32.1%.
