Jamal Lootah, President of MEFMA, said: “This white paper marks a critical milestone in the development of Saudi Arabia’s facilities management industry, which is playing an increasingly vital role in the success of the Kingdom’s ambitious transformation. As FM becomes more integrated into national infrastructure, sustainability, and service delivery goals, access to accurate, forward-looking insights is essential. This publication reinforces MEFMA’s commitment to providing knowledge-driven content that enables smarter decision-making, promotes sustainable best practices, and aligns closely with the priorities of Vision 2030. Our aim is to empower both public and private sector stakeholders with the strategic foresight needed to plan for long-term impact.”

Eng. Mohannad AlMadhi, MEFMA Board member (KSA) said: “Saudi Arabia’s facilities management sector stands at the heart of the Kingdom’s transformation, underpinning the success of mega projects, urban development, and quality-of-life initiatives. As demand grows in scale and complexity, with all the upcoming PIF led projects, operational excellence is becoming a national imperative. This white paper captures the realities on the ground and charts a path forward that equips industry players with the insights needed to innovate, adapt, and build a world-class FM ecosystem that reflects the ambitions of Vision 2030.”
