Revenue is forecast to fall at a compound annual rate of 3.4% over the five years through 2023 to €224.3 million. COVID-19 reduced activity significantly in 2020, with revenue falling by 33.1%; however, revenue has steadily improved in the years since. Combined facilities support providers have benefitted from the rising number of businesses setting up shop in Ireland despite some brief disruption from the pandemic, which has increased the industry's potential market. Economic stability and improved consumer confidence in Ireland have significantly boosted the facility management industry. With inflation reduced to 2.6% and a 1.1% GDP increase in the first quarter of 2024, per the Central Statistics Office (CSO), businesses are expanding and investing more in premium facility support services. The consumer sentiment index also rose to 74.9 in July 2024, according to the Irish Times, further driving demand for maintenance, cleaning, and security services. This surge in demand is enhancing industry growth and overall performance. As a result, revenue in 2024 is forecast to increase by 2.4%. Over the five years through 2029, revenue is forecast to grow at a compound annual rate of 3.2% to €262.5 million. The cost and time savings of combining support services into a single contract are likely to drive sales to companies seeking to increase efficiency. AI advancements will also transform the management of facilities, making operations more efficient and cost-effective. Technologies like IoT and real-time data analytics help optimise resources. Companies like Equans Building Limited are already using AI to improve workflow and detect anomalies. As AI continues to evolve, its impact on Ireland's facilities support industry will grow significantly.

Revenue in Europe’s Convention and Trade Show Organisations industry is anticipated to drop at a compound annual rate of 7.2% to €30.4 billion over the five years through 2024. The sink in revenue over the period is predominantly due to the significant damage the COVID-19 outbreak inflicted on the sector, as convention and trade show organisations were shut down temporarily or operated at limited capacity. The industry has weathered unfavourable economic headwinds since the COVID-19 outbreak, as inflationary pressures hit the Eurozone, limiting significant investment into new projects, compounded by lacklustre business sentiment. As a result, convention and trade show organisations' revenue is set to decline by 1.5% in 2024. The industry's key clientele is the commercial enterprises whose participation in events like trade shows and conventions mainly depends on their economic outlook. Private individuals are more likely to attend events during a positive consumer climate. This directly influences the appeal for companies to showcase themselves as exhibitors at trade shows. Inflationary pressures are set to ease over 2024, with promising signs in the latter end of 2023 strengthening business and consumer sentiment to the benefit of the industry. Revenue is projected to swell at a compound annual rate of 4.2% over the five years through 2029 to €37,1 billion. The industry is set to benefit from Europe’s improving economy in the coming years as markets stabilise and clients begin to expand investment, requiring the services of convention and trade show organisations. The industry’s growth will be squeezed by growth in telecommunications and digitalisation after consumers were forced onto online teleconferencing amid COVID-19 disruptions to travel. Continued growth in online substitutes to the industry will prove detrimental to the industry, with convention and trade show organisations adapting by implementing their own digitalisation efforts.

Information and communication equipment wholesalers are susceptible to short-term business sentiment and disposable income volatility. At the same time, IT adoption and government capital expenditure are long-term revenue drivers. Technological innovation is accelerating, shortening the replacement cycle of electronic goods, as consumers seek to stay updated with the latest trends. However, this rapid change in consumer preferences forces wholesalers with older stock to sell at lower prices, dampening profitability. The COVID-19 outbreak led to a plunge in business confidence, with many businesses cutting investment in technology because of budget constraints. Many construction projects were delayed or cancelled, hitting demand for internet provision equipment like routers and modems. Stay-at-home guidance and working from home lifted electronic device sales, helping offset the revenue lost from delayed technology investments. Sky-high inflation in 2022 and 2023 dented consumer confidence, forcing customers to tighten their purse strings and cut back on discretionary purchases. Over the five years through 2024, information and communication equipment wholesalers' revenue is expected to grow at a compound annual rate of 2.3% to reach €36.3 billion. Recovering business sentiment will boost spending on technology and systems, driving an estimated 2.1% growth in industry revenue. Major infrastructure projects like Project Ireland 2040 will provide a steady and substantial revenue stream for wholesalers. The scheme will invest €155 billion into the country's development and digitalisation, including the 5G rollout, a hospital and a series of major housing projects requiring large quantities of information and communication equipment. That's why industry revenue is expected to grow at a compound annual rate of 2.3% over the five years through 2029 to reach €36.3 billion. Business and consumer sentiment will recover, boosting sales, while supply chain disruptions are set to ease, supporting profitability as purchase costs fall. The constant stream of innovative products manufacturers develop will present opportunities for new wholesalers to gain market share.

Market researchers investigate clients' target markets' behaviour, values and opinions, providing insights that allow them to tailor their products, services and marketing. Researchers rely on high European research and development expenditure to fuel demand for market research. Increased digitalisation has opened new doors for market research providers while intensifying competition. Artificial intelligence is increasingly important in analysing, identifying and generating research insights from social media posts using a flood of data. Meanwhile, digital surveys have allowed research companies to expand their outreach, save resources and costs and often attain more accurate and comprehensive insights for clients. Over the five years through 2024, industry revenue is expected to contract at a compound annual rate of 3.6% to €27.2 billion. The COVID-19 outbreak and ensuring low business sentiment took a toll on market research budgets. A sharp contraction in business sentiment squeezed corporate profit, discouraging companies from investing in research and development activities and negatively affecting professional research providers in 2022. A greater availability of data and alternative research methods means that researchers are competing more and more with in-house research departments. In 2024, industry revenue is expected to drop by 3.1% as consumers lower their private consumption expenditure, reducing consumer research activity. Over the five years through 2029, industry revenue is forecast to climb at a compound annual rate of 2.9% to reach €31.4 billion. Over the coming years, market research companies will face higher external competition from technology specialists leveraging insights internally, constraining revenue growth. Nonetheless, researchers will benefit from increasing online advertising activity. Those incorporating advanced data analytics systems and digital market research technology will remain competitive and benefit from greater digitalisation. Smart mobile surveys will also become an invaluable tool for consumer research companies.
