Ms. Janice Wung, Industry Analyst, Energy & Environment Practice, Asia Pacific at Frost & Sullivan said that UEM Edgenta has performed strongly in the past year by expanding its portfolio, diversification and implementing best practices in the company.
Ms. Wung added that the integrated facilities management (IFM) market in Asia Pacific is fragmented with a large number of small and medium participants competing on pricing with similar service proposition.
"The competitive scenario in the market is fueled by the low barrier of entry and the growing awareness on outsourcing among end users. In addition, the promising economic development in Asia Pacific, together with an increasing number of foreign companies operating in the region, is encouraging IFM adoption," she said.
She also said that UEM Edgenta's remarkable brand equity, commendable strategy execution, and unique competitive advantages have made the company a strong competitor in the IFM industry in the region.
