Revenue is projected to climb at a compound annual rate of 1.6% to £48.9 billion over the five years through 2024-25. Recent economic headwinds, including severe inflationary pressures and geopolitical tensions, have taken a hit on consumer spending and business activity, which has limited industry growth. However, the industry is countercyclical, meaning that demand for legal work in certain areas, including litigation and insolvency matters, grows in times of economic downturn. The largest firms have responded to the challenges posed by weaker business activity in the UK by expanding internationally, engaging in M&A initiatives and broadening their services to compete with accounting firms. The introduction of legislation allowing non-legal entities to own legal firms through alternative business structures has created significant price-driven competition. Pressure on fees has encouraged firms to enhance efficiency and cut costs. Law firms have increasingly invested in technology that reduces human error and speeds up routine work, increasing the time employees have to engage in more valuable activities. Following strong growth in 2021-22 as the economy recovered from the impacts of the COVID-19 outbreak, an adverse economic climate weakened industry performance over the two years through 2023-24. Soaring inflation, steep borrowing costs and geopolitical tensions eroded business confidence and restricted business spending, with M&A activity taking a hit. Residential property transactions also dropped amid squeezed consumer finances and high mortgage rates. However, revenue is estimated to climb by 3% in 2024-25 thanks to improving economic conditions, with inflation subsiding and interest rate cuts boosting business confidence and expansionary activity. Competitive pressures and the war for talent have weighed on profit. Amid growing costs, larger firms have hiked their fees to support revenue and profit. Over the five years through 2029-30, revenue is forecast to swell at a compound annual rate of 2.8% to £56.2 billion. A more positive economic climate will drive business activity, including deal-making and IPOs, hiking demand for corporate law. The housing market is also set to expand, fuelling property law demand, while more and more organisations will seek legal advice on sustainability matters. Consolidation activity will take place as firms seek to find avenues for growth. The pace of technological advancement will quicken, with more firms attempting to enhance the efficiency of their services using artificial intelligence, blockchain and smart contracts. This will help support profit growth, though the war for talent shows no sign of slowing down.

Electronic components are used in a wide range of applications, from computers and mobile phones to TVs and cars, while electronic boards are the fundamental inputs for nearly all electronic products. Manufacturers in this industry have contended with numerous economic headwinds in recent years. Most notably, the COVID-19 outbreak and subsequent supply chain disruptions drastically ramped up cost pressures. Fierce overseas competition is also a bone of contention, with low-cost production countries like China and Taiwan eroding demand. Electronic component and board manufacturing revenue is expected to fall at a compound annual rate of 5.5% to €92.2 billion over the five years through 2024, including an estimated decline of 3.7% in 2024. Electronic component and board manufacturers were clobbered by the COVID-19 outbreak, which drastically reduced global economic activity, hitting export sales and resulting in revenue plummeting in 2020. Despite a solid recovery in 2021 due to the gradual reopening of the economy and growing digitisation, subdued economic growth and a tightening cost of living weighed on demand in the two years through 2023. This resulted in many people reining in their spending on electronic devices, hurting revenue growth. Manufacturers also contended with severe supply chain disruptions. Given many players carry out fabless manufacturing, they rely on manufacturers like Taiwan and China, which struggled with worker shortages. This lifted costs for UK manufacturers and hit profitability. However, manufacturers are learning to adapt, onshoring much of their operations, alleviating cost pressures somewhat. Electronic component and board manufacturing revenue is expected to grow at a compound annual rate of 2.2% to €103.1 billion over the five years through 2029. Overseas competition will continue to intensify as components from China and Taiwan become more advanced, hurting revenue growth. However, regulatory changes like the European Chips Act are set to make European manufacturers more competitive in the coming years. The excitement around AI will also support demand, with money being poured into research and development focusing on integrating AI with devices.

This Country Private Sector Diagnostic (CPSD) is a joint International Finance Corporation–World Bank effort to highlight the constraints, as well as the opportunities, facing the private sector in Ecuador. A review is particularly timely because the policy dialogue in the country has shifted, with the government paying greater attention to the needs of the private sector, including by committing to create space for private activity to expand its role in the economy. The decline in oil prices in recent years has ushered in more challenging economic times for the country, underscoring the need for economic diversification, crowding in private investment, and creating a more hospitable business climate. Ultimately, Ecuador’s growth prospects and its ability to create high-quality jobs depend on the extent to which its private sector leads the way in increasing productivity. This report reflects the early impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the current understanding regarding the potential fallout of the crisis on the country and on the private sector. The CPSD’s analysis and recommendations remain valid in the context of the pandemic and of an eventual recovery. A dynamic and resilient private sector is necessary if Ecuador is to break the low-growth trajectory it finds itself in today. The CPSD argues that tackling some of the major obstacles facing the private sector is essential to job creation, firm performance, investment, and productivity. These actions are as critical in times of crisis and especially afterwards to pave the way for a vigorous and sustainable recovery. Similarly, the sectors assessed by the CPSD - mining and perishable agricultural exports - continue to hold promise for the country. And while tourism is one of the sectors hardest hit across the globe by the COVID-19 crisis, crafting a strategy that effectively addresses the obstacles that prevent the tourism sector from attaining its potential is a necessary investment for a strong recovery. This is especially the case for regulations that carry a low fiscal cost and that have the potential to open up the sector over the medium-term.

The market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 10.2% from 2025 to 2033, with the forecasted market size expected to hit USD 236.2 billion by 2033. This sustained expansion is driven by increasing digital transformation initiatives, the proliferation of cloud-based solutions, and the critical need for businesses to enhance operational efficiency and agility through integrated enterprise platforms.

One of the primary growth factors fueling the Enterprise Platform market is the accelerating pace of digital transformation across diverse sectors. Organizations are increasingly leveraging enterprise platforms to streamline business operations, improve real-time decision-making, and foster greater collaboration amongst distributed teams. The integration of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and big data analytics into enterprise platforms is facilitating automation, predictive insights, and enhanced process optimization.

Another significant driver is the growing shift towards cloud-based deployment models, which offer substantial benefits in terms of scalability, cost-efficiency, and accessibility. Cloud-based enterprise platforms enable organizations to rapidly scale their IT resources, reduce capital expenditure, and ensure seamless access to mission-critical applications from any location. This trend is particularly pronounced among small and medium enterprises (SMEs), which are leveraging cloud solutions to compete with larger counterparts and accelerate innovation cycles.

Similarly, retailers are adopting enterprise solutions to manage complex omnichannel operations, while manufacturers rely on them for supply chain visibility and process automation. This broad spectrum of use cases underscores the versatility and indispensability of enterprise platforms in today’s digital economy.

From a regional perspective, North America currently dominates the Enterprise Platform market, accounting for the largest share in 2024, followed closely by Europe and Asia Pacific. The presence of major technology providers, high digital adoption rates, and significant investments in IT infrastructure are key factors underpinning North America’s leadership position. However, the Asia Pacific region is poised for the fastest growth over the forecast period, driven by rapid industrialization, burgeoning SME sectors, and increasing government initiatives to promote digitalization.
