Apleona remains market leader in Germany

The German market for facility services continues to grow, albeit not as strongly as in previous years. In the 2024 financial year, the 25 leading service providers in terms of domestic turnover grew by an average of 7.8 percent. In the previous year, 2023, growth was still at 11.8 percent. The main reason for the moderate growth is the economic situation: customers are more price-sensitive and lucrative special services have been postponed or not requested at all.
In total, the 25 leading service providers generated domestic sales of €18.7 billion. They thus cover more than 30 per cent of the market. The Lünendonk study is based on data from a total of 73 companies. The well-known Lünendonk ranking was published on Monday, 26 May, at a press conference in Frankfurt. With domestic sales of €2.991 billion, Apleona remains the market leader in Germany. The company grew by 8.6 per cent and is expected to exceed the three billion euro mark in the current financial year. Total sales exceeded the four billion euro mark for the first time in 2024.
Apleona CEO Dr Jochen Keysberg commented on the renewed success at the press conference: “First place is only possible thanks to our customers' trust in Apleona's capabilities and the high level of commitment and professionalism of all our colleagues who work hard for our customers every day. Thank you very much for that! He announced further strong growth for Germany and Europe: ”Apleona will expand its range of services and its own services through acquisitions. In addition, Apleona will continue to invest heavily in its technical expertise, AI, digital solutions and automation."
