Moreover, the captive FM market still accounts for more than 50 percent of the total opportunity, which hints at vast future potential for FM outsourcers. However, growth patterns are not the same for all market participants, varying by geography, vertical end-user segment, service offering, and service contract type. As such while the trend towards value-added services will continue to benefit single, bundled and I-FM providers alike, the anticipated demand from PPP projects in the public sector will benefit providers of integrated solutions.

Firstly, the country can hardly meet its peak power demand and, secondly, the country relies heavily on power supply from its neighbouring countries. However, southern Africa is experiencing an increasing power supply deficit, leading to shortages of power for trading. After a slump in 2009, which was due to the global economic crisis and a consequent drop in diamond exports, Botswana electricity demand recovered strongly in 2010. Despite stagnating in 2011, demand is expected to continue growing from 2012 to 2020. Hence, Botswana needs to expand its power generation capacity, as well as reinforce its transmission and distribution network.
