Kuwait Facility Management Industry Gains Momentum Amid Mega Projects and Economic Diversification Efforts

According to the latest market research study published by P&S Intelligence, the Kuwaiti facility management market generated revenue of USD 1,121.9 million in 2024 and is projected to grow at a strong CAGR of 10.1% during 2024–2030, reaching USD 1,995.5 million by 2030. This robust expansion is largely supported by the country’s accelerating infrastructure development, rising real estate activities, and the steady growth of the hospitality sector. As Kuwait continues to invest heavily in large-scale construction, the demand for professional facility management services to operate, maintain, and optimize these assets is increasing significantly.

Government-led infrastructure initiatives are playing a pivotal role in shaping market growth. In July 2021, the Kuwaiti government approved 14 major public projects valued at around USD 59 billion, along with four partnership projects worth nearly USD 3.2 billion. In addition, the national development plan for 2020–2025 outlines mega projects with an estimated investment of USD 124 billion, including a USD 4 billion airport terminal, petrochemicals complexes, and the development of the Mubarak Al-Kabeer Port. These projects are driving sustained demand for integrated facility management services across commercial and public infrastructure.

Rising investments in schools, utilities, and other public infrastructure, coupled with an increasing emphasis on cleaning, hygiene, and sanitation standards, are further strengthening the market outlook. Together, these factors are creating long-term opportunities for facility management service providers operating in Kuwait.
