Computer Facilities Management in Germany industry analysis

The managed services provider industry recorded an average annual decline in turnover of 0.5% between 2019 and 2024. In recent years, there has been a trend towards insourcing, with many large companies reintegrating their previously outsourced IT infrastructure back into their organisation. The outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic in 2020 was also partly responsible for this development, as a result of which numerous client companies struggled with liquidity bottlenecks and many of them decided to terminate contracts with industry players for IT services that were not absolutely necessary for the operation of their company. In the current year, the industry is expected to generate revenue of €14.6 billion, which corresponds to an increase of 0.1%.Because of security concerns and for reasons of compatibility with data protection regulations in Germany, companies in Germany are refraining from outsourcing their IT infrastructure abroad, which is having a positive impact on the order situation for industry players. As domestic companies are reliant on the industry's services, market players are increasingly investing in the expansion of new data centres and the modernisation of existing facilities. < />IBISWorld forecasts that industry turnover will increase at an average annual growth rate of 0.2% to €14.7 billion by 2029. Industry players are confronted with increasing efforts by large corporations to reintegrate their outsourced IT departments. They now see the data they collect as too valuable and fear that outsourcing IT tasks to external providers could cause them to miss out on important developments, which could put them at a disadvantage on the market. However, small and medium-sized companies are likely to continue to rely on the industry's services to increase their efficiency and minimise costs.

Trends and Insights

  • Managed service providers will increasingly invest in security technologies in the future. Sensitive customer data is managed in the data centres of industry companies, and their protection is becoming increasingly important.
  • The demand for external system administration services is increasing, as many large companies are reintegrating their IT departments. However, the opposite trend can be observed in public institutions, as they hope to save costs by outsourcing IT.
  • The Süd region has the largest number of companies in the sector. The companies there benefit from their proximity to production companies as well as banks and insurance companies.
  • Managed services providers are facing external competition from in-house IT departments. Many large companies are moving to reintegrate previously outsourced IT departments.

Trends and Insights

Companies outsource the management of their IT infrastructure to relieve the burden on their IT departments

  • Innovations in the areas of hardware and software are progressing rapidly. At the same time, many companies are still operating outdated systems, so-called legacy systems. Companies are therefore under pressure to keep up with technological progress while working with older systems. Many companies feel overwhelmed by this challenge and outsource their IT departments due to a lack of expertise.
