After a brief introduction into the European facilities management market, its development and characteristic supplier types, the article outlines a fundamental market structure and examines whether the individual European FM markets, for all their differences, have certain things in com-mon that point to a general market-development model. Relevant parameters such as Michael E. Porter's ""competitive forces"" are used to analyse typical market and business models.
