Over the past five years, for-profit universities have faced mounting headwinds amid regulatory tightening, inflation and negative public perception. While data from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) reports that overall postsecondary enrollment grew by just 0.5% from 2020 to 2025, enrollment at for-profit institutions shrank by 4.1%. Ballooning student debt and rising tuition, made worse by inflation in 2022 and 2023, have driven many recent graduates and adult learners to second-guess the value of higher education, especially degrees from for-profit schools with poor graduate earnings. Government regulations added further strain as the Biden administration's 2024 reinstatement of gainful employment rules once again linked access to federal funding to graduate debt-to-income ratios. At the same time, for-profit schools battled declining revenue as affordable nonprofit and vocational programs drew away budget-conscious students. Industry revenue has dropped at a CAGR of 0.5% to an estimated $13.6 billion over the five years through 2025. A faltering reputation has played a major role in the industry's decline. According to Federal Student Aid data, for-profit universities are repeatedly criticized for low graduation rates, weak graduate earnings and high student loan default rates—the highest across any demographic. Allegations of predatory practices remain in the headlines, exemplified by Walden University's $28.5 million lawsuit settlement in 2024. Although these institutions offer flexible scheduling and lower tuition rates that appeal to low-income and nontraditional students, the public remains wary. Studies indicate that most programs with no positive return on investment are at for-profit colleges. Meanwhile, stricter government scrutiny and the widespread availability of earnings and debt data have made poor outcomes highly visible, solidifying the negative perception. Many for-profit universities have shuttered, though some have managed to retain profit by closing physical locations. For-profit universities will continue facing a decline over the next five years. IBISWorld expects for-profit university enrollment to drop at an annualized 1.1% through 2030, outpaced by modest growth at nonprofit and vocational schools, where graduates see better employment outcomes. Uncertainty in regulations, including the possible repeal of the 90/10 rule, adds more volatility, while the lack of broad student loan forgiveness will likely suppress affordability and demand. As students and job seekers prioritize educational outcomes and cost, one in seven for-profit universities is expected to close by 2030. For-profit universities' revenue is set to sink at a CAGR of 0.3% to an estimated $13.4 billion through the next five years.

Although air freight volumes in 2020 were below the 2019 level, the industry experienced a remarkable boom from 2020 onwards, largely due to the coronavirus crisis. Passenger airlines, which normally transport around half of air freight, drastically reduced their flight connections and frequencies as a result of the pandemic. As a result, the available transport capacities on the air freight market shrank considerably. This shortage enabled cargo-only airlines to push through much higher freight rates and thus significantly increase their profit margins. However, many subcontractors that cooperate with passenger airlines were also severely affected by the crisis in 2020. In the current year, revenue growth of around 0.5% to around €9.8 billion is expected due to the increasing volume of global trade. Since 2020, industry turnover has risen by an average of 13.8% per year, with the high increase in 2021 contributing significantly to this average.In the wake of global supply chain problems and increasing demand for fast transport solutions, air freight continued to grow in importance between 2020 and 2025. The increasing e-commerce boom, the trend towards faster deliveries and the shortage of alternative transport capacities - for example due to bottlenecks in sea freight - further strengthened the industry. At the same time, cargo airlines benefited from the sharp fall in crude oil prices in 2020, which reduced operating costs. However, geopolitical tensions and the war in Ukraine have acted as price drivers for crude oil since 2022, increasing costs once again. Other transport segments, such as sea freight, also felt the impact of higher costs. While sea freight is still cheaper, it often loses its price advantage due to longer transport times.Moderate annual sales growth of around 0.5% is forecast for the next five years, with expected industry sales of around €9.9 billion in 2030. Looking ahead, the industry will be increasingly characterised by society's and politicians' growing environmental awareness. Decarbonisation and stricter emissions regulations will play a central role from 2025. Air freight companies will be forced to introduce sustainability measures such as sustainable aviation fuel, lower-emission aircraft and more efficient flight routes. In addition, many players are turning to digitalisation and automation to make processes more efficient and reduce emissions. The combination of growing global networking, more regional production strategies and sustainability-driven innovations will significantly change the industry by 2030.

The global ice cream truck market is experiencing robust growth, driven by rising disposable incomes, increasing consumer preference for convenient and on-the-go food options, and the nostalgic appeal of ice cream trucks, particularly among younger generations. The market is segmented by truck type (prepackaged, soft serve, and others) and application (personal and business use), with the business segment dominating due to high demand from entrepreneurs and established ice cream businesses. Technological advancements, such as mobile payment systems and GPS tracking for optimized routes, further enhance the market's appeal. While the initial investment can be significant, the relatively low operational overhead and potential for high profit margins make ice cream truck businesses attractive, particularly in densely populated areas and during warmer months. Assuming a conservative CAGR of 5% and a 2025 market size of $800 million (this is an estimate based on common market sizes for niche food service industries), the market is projected to reach approximately $1 billion by 2030 and continue its upward trajectory through 2033. Regional variations exist, with North America and Europe currently holding the largest market shares, although Asia Pacific is showing promising growth potential fueled by rising urbanization and a growing middle class with increased spending power. Challenges include increasing regulatory compliance costs, competition from other mobile food vendors, and seasonality impacting sales. The market's growth is being fueled by innovative product offerings, including unique ice cream flavors and customizable options, catering to evolving consumer tastes. Moreover, the strategic partnerships between ice cream truck manufacturers and ice cream brands are creating synergistic opportunities and expanding the market reach. However, factors such as the high initial investment cost, economic downturns potentially affecting consumer spending, and increasing fuel prices present challenges. Despite these hurdles, the long-term outlook for the ice cream truck market remains positive, driven by the sustained demand for convenient and enjoyable treats. The emergence of eco-friendly initiatives within the industry, such as utilizing sustainable materials and reducing carbon emissions, is also expected to influence market growth and consumer perception positively. A focus on expanding into emerging markets and leveraging digital marketing strategies will be crucial for businesses to capitalize on the market's potential for future growth.

In the last five years, the circulation of printed newspapers and the advertising revenues of newspaper publishers have fallen significantly. Due to the rapid transition from print to digital media, the industry's traditional business model has lost much of its viability. Since 2020, industry revenue has fallen by an average of 0.5% per year. However, due to the pandemic-related decline in sales in 2020 and 2021 and the subsequent recovery, the decline in sales was not too high. However, increasing digitalisation and the pandemic-related slump in individual newspaper sales at train stations and airports have already put pressure on the profit margins of industry players in recent years. Adapting to the conditions and requirements of the online market is still a challenge for many newspaper publishers. The turnover of newspaper publishers is expected to fall by 1.6% to 15.2 billion euros in 2025, as print circulations continue to fall and competition from digital information offerings increases.The industry is characterised by increasing digitalisation and the resulting changes in readers' information procurement behaviour. On the one hand, technological progress is increasing competition from outside the industry through free information offerings from online platforms, social media and other providers. On the other hand, more and more readers are taking out digital subscriptions to newspapers, which is increasingly shifting publishers' sales from print newspapers to digital offerings. Advertising and adverts such as job vacancies and property listings are also increasingly being placed digitally instead of in print media. The leading industry players, most of whom are part of large media groups, have largely adapted to this development and often operate their own online job exchanges and property platforms. The proportion of revenue generated by publishers from adverts and advertising is declining, as the market leaders in particular and, to a lesser extent, the small publishers of regional daily newspapers are benefiting from the larger online offering. Publishers can save costs and increase their profitability by reducing print circulation, as printing and distribution costs make up a large proportion of the costs incurred in the industry.Growing e-paper circulations, digital advertising revenues and the increasing spread of paid content models offer a ray of hope for the industry, but are also likely to lead to a decline in the number of companies and employees. In the period from 2025 to 2030, the turnover of newspaper publishers is expected to fall by an average of 2% per year to 13.8 billion euros.

Swings in the economy have a limited impact on warehouse clubs and supercenters because these retail establishments offer low-priced goods. When consumer sentiment is high, shoppers spend more time visiting industry retailers and buying extra items. Conversely, when consumer sentiment is low, warehouse clubs and superstores draw a larger pool of consumers as households seek to cut expenses by buying in bulk for the future. Many of these retailers have been able to attract and retain more business by offering memberships and reward programs that disincentivize consumers to visit the competition. Revenue for warehouse clubs and supercenters is expected to climb at a CAGR of 3.2% to $771.1 billion through the end of 2025, including growth of 2.8% in 2025 alone. In the same year, profit will account for 3.5% of revenue, a dip from 2020 because of strong competitive forces and inflation. Online companies can undercut traditional warehouse clubs and supercenters' prices by taking advantage of lower operational costs. The brick-and-mortar warehouse clubs and supercenters incur higher operational costs than online-based businesses because they pay for high-traffic retail space and require employees for daily operations. Retailers are increasingly optimizing their online presence for mobile shopping. Walmart, a leader in the industry, has introduced a competing service known as Walmart+, which costs $98.00 annually. Walmart+ provides members with unlimited free deliveries, fuel discounts and a more streamlined in-store shopping experience via the Scan & Go feature on the Walmart app. Although this service emphasizes increasing Walmart's e-commerce sales, the fuel discounts and access to the Scan & Go feature on the company's app will encourage in-store purchases. Warehouse clubs and supercenters' revenue will expand as the domestic economy surges. Consumer spending and corporate profit boosts encourage future revenue growth by prompting more consumers to buy club memberships and spend on bulk purchases. Consumption rates will continue to climb across the US, promoting strong foot traffic and these retailers that often sell products in bulk. Nonetheless, increasing online competition will continue to threaten the industry as retailers like Amazon expand their customer base. Revenue for warehouse clubs and supercenters is expected to swell at a CAGR of 2.3% to $862.8 billion through the end of 2030.
