Kennedy Sees Global Consulting Markets Normalizing; Growth Rates Increasing Through 2016

Flagship annual report provides market share, size and growth forecasts across consulting service lines, geographic regions, and client industries — plus consulting firm rankings.

KEENE, N.H.--()--Kennedy Consulting Research & Advisory, the leader in market analysis on the consulting profession, announces the launch of Global Consulting Market Index 2013. Released annually, and featuring a wealth of expanded content, the report provides detailed analysis of consulting market trends world-wide.

“Kennedy saw growth in the global consulting market drop from 4.3% in 2012 to 3.7% in 2013, surpassing $221 billion in revenues,” according to Lasse Pitkaeniemi, Project Lead and Kennedy’s Director of Market Research. “After years of engagements focused on cost-cutting, recovery and turn-around, client organizations are in 2014 finally returning to growth initiatives. Kennedy is tracking a resurgence in M&A advisory and the emergence of services around customer-centric digital technologies and business behavior. This bodes well for more robust overall growth in the profession this year.”
