HOUSTON, Texas – Plunkett Research, Ltd. recently announced an important market research and competitive analysis report, Plunkett’s Consulting Industry Almanac, 2016 edition. A complete market research report, including forecasts and market estimates, technologies analysis and developments at innovative firms.

Global consulting industry revenues (including HR, IT, strategy, operations, management and business advisory services) will be about $470 billion in 2016, according to Plunkett Research estimates. The consulting industry experienced a slowdown after the 2008-2009 recession, but rising profits means major consulting companies, are seeing a rise in business from corporate clients. The same cannot be said for the government sector where intense budgetary scrutiny has been particularly hard on some consulting firms.
