Establishments in this industry typically provide a combination of services, such as janitorial; maintenance; trash disposal; guard and security; mail routing; reception; laundry; and related services to support operations within facilities. These establishments provide operating staff to carry out these support activities; but, are not involved with or responsible for the core business or activities of the client.

The Facilities Support Services industry (NAICS 5612) is undergoing significant transformations driven by several key qualitative trends. One prominent trend is the increasing integration of technology and smart systems. Companies are leveraging the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and advanced analytical tools to enhance operational efficiency, predictive maintenance, and energy management. These technologies are enabling more proactive and data-driven facilities management, resulting in cost savings and improved service quality.
Sustainability and green building practices are also gaining traction. There is a growing emphasis on reducing carbon footprints, enhancing energy efficiency, and promoting environmentally-friendly practices. Clients are looking for service providers who can help them achieve sustainability certifications and comply with environmental regulations.
Another trend is the rising demand for integrated facilities management (IFM) solutions. Businesses are seeking comprehensive services that consolidate various support functions under a single provider, ensuring streamlined operations and consistency in service delivery. This approach not only simplifies management but also often results in cost efficiencies.
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly influenced the industry, with increased focus on health and safety protocols. Facilities support services are now expected to include enhanced cleaning, sanitation, and air quality monitoring to ensure the well-being of occupants.
Looking ahead, the industry is forecasted to continue adopting advanced technologies and sustainable practices. The need for flexible, adaptive services will likely grow, reflecting the evolving workplace dynamics, including the rise of remote and hybrid work models. Service providers that can offer innovative, tech-enabled, and sustainable solutions are expected to thrive in the near future.
