Chinook Industry Spotlight: Business Consulting Q3 2021
- The U.S. business consulting market was valued at $330 billion in 2022 and has grown at 1.1% CAGR since 2018. The majority of business consulting revenues come from corporate strategy and organizational design, representing 43% and 39% of industry revenues, respectively.
- Anticipated growth is around 2% CAGR from 2023 to 2028 due to the increasing complexity of business operations and the need for specialized guidance.
