At \u20ac51.4 billion, market volume was just 2.8 percent above the previous year\u2014significantly lower than in earlier years and clearly below the momentum observed in many international markets.

Over the past 25 years, the industry\u2019s growth has been interrupted only by major external shocks\u20149\/11, the financial crisis, and the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"500\" data-end=\"703\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Following the post-COVID boom, the trajectory is clearly normalizing.

On the contrary, a weak economy, rising insolvencies, cost-cutting programs, and cautious budgets weighed on traditional consulting areas. Conceptual and planning-oriented projects in particular came under pressure\u2014the strategy segment declined by 2.1 percent. Many companies postponed long-term initiatives in favor of short-term stabilization.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"595\" data-end=\"1021\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Transformation consulting saw the strongest expansion, growing by 8.8 percent. Program and project management, implementation support, and restructuring in particular gained significant importance. Turnaround and restructuring projects alone increased by more than 20 percent\u2014reflecting the economic situation of many industrial companies. As a result, operational interventions and crisis management moved further into focus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1023\" data-end=\"1566\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">IT consulting also performed above average, with growth of 6 percent. This was driven less by traditional system implementations and more by governance, security, and architecture-related topics. Cybersecurity grew at double-digit rates, while applications and platform projects expanded only moderately. Companies invested selectively\u2014primarily where regulatory requirements, risks, or efficiency gains were immediately visible, but also out of strategic caution to avoid falling behind in future technologies such as artificial intelligence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1568\" data-end=\"1916\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The largest segment of the industry\u2014operations consulting\u2014remained stable but showed little dynamism, growing by just 0.7 percent. Efficiency programs, initiatives to strengthen supply chain resilience, and production-related projects sustained demand, but could not fully offset the restraint seen in marketing, sales, and organizational projects.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6848\" src=\"https:\/\/wgmb.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/WGMB-market-barometer-4-300x208.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1023\" height=\"709\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wgmb.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/WGMB-market-barometer-4-300x208.png 300w, https:\/\/wgmb.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/WGMB-market-barometer-4-1024x710.png 1024w, https:\/\/wgmb.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/WGMB-market-barometer-4-768x532.png 768w, https:\/\/wgmb.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/WGMB-market-barometer-4-1536x1065.png 1536w, https:\/\/wgmb.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/WGMB-market-barometer-4.png 1629w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1023px) 100vw, 1023px\" \/>[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator css=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]\n<h3 data-start=\"80\" data-end=\"148\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong data-start=\"80\" data-end=\"148\">Which industries are the largest clients of consulting services?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"150\" data-end=\"221\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">A large share of consulting demand is concentrated in a few industries.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"223\" data-end=\"586\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Despite the economic slowdown, manufacturing remains the largest client of consulting services, with a market share of 29.1 percent, followed by financial services (21.4 percent) and the public sector (9.5 percent).

Artificial intelligence demands data, infrastructure, and operations; cybersecurity requires ongoing services; transformation calls for implementation; resilience depends on operational interventions in processes and supply chains; and platform strategies require integration and system operations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"563\" data-end=\"815\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">As a result, the requirements placed on consulting are fundamentally changing.

The market is thus structurally shifting from \u201cpure consulting\u201d toward integrated service models that combine strategy, execution, and operations.
