Market Share of Management Consulting Services Industry
The management consulting services market is partially fragmented, with local and multinational firms having decades of business expertise and competing for market share. The suppliers are implementing a strong competitive strategy by leveraging their expertise and investing a significant portion of the budget in advertising. The market has relatively low exit barriers, which encourages new enterprises to participate and established firms to withdraw when profits are low. Major industry players, like McKinsey & Company, Bain & Company, Boston Consulting Group (BCG), Deloitte, etc., are emphasizing providing integrated solutions to attract customers. Smaller and newer suppliers in the market are projected to prioritize cost-benefit over more prominent vendors, escalating competition.
In March 2023, Mercer LLC announced it was purchasing Leapgen, a prominent human resources (HR) technology consulting firm focused on workforce solutions, digital strategy and transformation, and improving employee experience, to expand its advisory services. The purchase strengthens Mercer's position as a trusted advisor in the rapidly increasing market for digital HR strategy.
In December 2022, EY announced the acquisition of ifb SE, an international finance and risk transformation and compliance consultancy, in Germany and said it would be branded EY ifb. This acquisition enhanced the breadth and depth of EY's finance, risk transformation, and compliance capabilities and created greater opportunities for EY to support its clients.
