MARKET INTELLIGENCE /

Signals from other companies

Acquisitions, installed base, technology and contract expansion point to a smarter commercial motion.

Six public signals

Verzani & Sandrini. Its published history includes acquisitions across services, regions and technology, alongside reported operational gains from sensors and data. The link to commercial revenue still needs to be measured.

Johnson Controls. In 2025, it reported 6% annual organic growth and a systems and services backlog 13% higher organically. Installed base, orders and services support a data-led expansion thesis.

JLL. In Workplace Management, it attributed 2024 growth to new clients and mandate expansions while also investing in technology and AI.

CBRE. Facilities Management revenue grew 13% in 2025; acquisitions also contributed to other businesses. Its report separates service growth from portfolio effects.

Sodexo. Its 2030 plan aims to strengthen account management, business development, technology and data to restore organic growth and margin. This is a plan, not an achieved result.

KONE. In 2025, Service became its largest business and Modernization grew at a double-digit rate; it expanded connectivity and tools for field teams.

Costa Growth's reading

Acquisitions expand scale and portfolio, but organic growth also depends on winning accounts, expanding contracts, renewing well and protecting margin. Technology already improves operations; the opportunity is to turn its signals into account intelligence and commercial execution with owners, cadences and measurement.
