Trends

Prevention of climate change contributes to the business opportunities of YIT's industrial and building equipment system services. High energy prices and regulations enforced due to climate change will increasingly lead to pursuit of energy efficiency.

Consumer behaviour is undergoing change. Purchasing services will become more commonplace, and people want to express their individuality through housing, for instance. As needs become more differentiated, entire residential areas and housing units, their furnishings and service offering will be developed and diversified.

Public institutions are seeking new methods for realising their service production. The public sector has financing problems in various countries where YIT operates. Cities and municipalities are attempting to streamline their operations by opening the production of services to competition. In addition to service and maintenance services, there is demand for a variety of life cycle responsibility models and energy saving solutions, extensive regional development projects and community construction.
