Verdantix Says Spending On Digital EHS Services Will Reach $3.2 billion In 2025

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The digital EHS services market will reach $3.2 billion in 2025 according to a new study from independent research firm Verdantix. The forecasted compound annual growth rate of 6% will be driven by the consistent enhancement of EHS software as well as the accelerated adoption of new EHS technologies as the EHS function continues to digitize in response to COVID-19 challenges. Vendors positioned to benefit from this growth include EHS service firms such as AECOM, Arcadis, DuPont Sustainable Solutions (DSS), Jacobs, and WSP and EHS consulting or specialist firms such as Accenture, Capgemini, Deloitte, ERM, GHD Group, and Tetra Tech.

“Despite industrial impacts from global COVID-19 economic downturns, the EHS service market continues to grow due to the growing public focus on climate change and a dynamic global regulatory landscape,” commented Verdantix Senior Analyst Bill Pennington. “While traditional EHS service offerings have maintained steady growth over the last decade, the digital services segment has seen a more rapid growth.”
