The Information sector creates and distributes media content to US consumers and businesses. The Information sector responds to trends in household formation, which influences subscription volumes to communications services advertising expenditure, which generates nearly one-fourth of sector revenue, as well as consumer incomes and spending habits, which influence the extent to which households purchase discretionary entertainment products. The Information sector also sells some products and services directly to businesses and is influenced to a lesser extent by trends in corporate profit and business sentiment. The accelerated pace of digital transformation has fueled industry growth. As remote work and online learning became the norm, the demand for robust digital infrastructure and cloud services skyrocketed. This shift wasn't limited to cloud services alone, internet providers flourished spurred by the advent of 5G technology. Through the end of 2024, sector revenue will expand at a CAGR of 2.7% to reach $2.4 trillion, including a boost of 1.9% in 2024. Although consumer demand for media is generally steady and the Information sector has expanded consistently, revenue flows within the sector are uneven and determined by technology trends. Substantial expansion through the end of 2024 has stemmed from a proliferation of new consumer devices. However, most of the expansion has been concentrated on online publishing and data processing at the expense of more traditional information subsectors. For example, new digital channels have detracted from print advertising expenditure, which has dipped during the current period and curtailed print publishing. An expansion in mobile devices and the emergence of online streaming services have made consumers less reliant on more traditional communication services like wired voice, broadband internet and cable TV. Looking ahead, the information sector is poised for sustained growth over the next five years, fueled by rising consumer spending and private investment. As the economy recovers and interest rates stabilize, disposable incomes are poised to climb, allowing households to avail themselves of more digital subscriptions and services. The rollout of 5G will further augment mobile internet usage, potentially challenging wired broadband alternatives. Traditional media companies will continue to pivot to online platforms and streaming services, aiming to retain and expand their audience. Through the end of 2029, the Information sector revenue will strengthen at a CAGR of 2.2% to reach $2.7 trillion.

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.

Economic volatility has a limited impact on warehouse clubs and supercenters because these retailers offer low-priced goods. When consumer sentiment is high, shoppers spend more time shopping 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 from visiting the competition. Revenue for warehouse clubs and supercenters is expected to expand at a CAGR of 3.1% to $768.3 billion through the end of 2025, including a jump of 1.9% in 2025. Profit is expected to account for 2.7% of revenue in 2020, 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 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 climb 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 strengthen at a CAGR of 2.0% to $849.1 billion through the end of 2030.

Scientific research and development (R&D) facilities have enjoyed significant growth over the past five years as the mix of accelerating medical innovation, new global conflicts and push to advance medical treatments provided a diversified demand niche for the industry. Skyrocketing corporate profit, which boosted 6.3% over the past five years, enabled private companies to massively increase their budgets for R&D. New conflicts in the Middle East and Europe generated a wider range of defense capability needs, causing public sector clients to contract R&D companies at a more rapid pace to advance research on weapons systems and military equipment. A robust push toward sustainability across clients’ product stream further advanced new technological research in facets such as biomedical treatments. In light of these trends and an acceleration of technological adoption, revenue spiked at a CAGR of 4.9% to an estimated $320.9 billion over the past five years, including an anticipated 3.1% boost in 2025 alone. The federal government is the largest and most consistent source of revenue, so changes in federal funding levels greatly affect servicers’ performance. Many R&D sites focus on military tech, so the Trump administration's support for defense spending brought on a surge revenue. While the Biden administration originally pushed for lower defense spending, serious conflicts involving the US's allies, namely Ukraine and Israel, have brought military innovation back to the forefront of budget discussions. Although revenue growth was strong, a rebound in wage expenditures following an inflationary spike has caused a slight slowdown in profit growth. Moving forward, scientific R&D companies will continue benefiting from anticipated growth in corporate profit and sector-wide support for new research projects. While still high at 4.3% as of February 2025, the eventual stabilization in interest rates will encourage new investment. The passing of the Inflation Reduction Act in 2022 will benefit research labs studying alternative fuels and clean energy through tax credits that encourage private investment. New technological advances, such as UAVs and EWs, will provide greater need for technically adept R&D companies that can help strengthen military equipment research and development for the future. Additionally, anticipated growth in overall research & development expenditure across the public and private sectors will provide more funding for R&D initiatives, creating a larger field of opportunity for new researchers. Overall, revenue is expected to boost at a CAGR of 3.2% to an estimated $375.7 billion over the next five years.

The growth of the Internet since its inception has fueled strong demand and profitability for web design services, as both businesses and households increasingly conduct activities online. The pandemic accelerated this trend, forcing businesses to upgrade their digital presence amid lockdowns and remote work, which resulted in significant revenue gains for web designers in 2020. This trend continued in 2021 as the strong economic recovery boosted corporate profit and gave businesses greater funds to invest in the industry’s services. More recently, high inflation and rising interest rates have raised costs and curtailed demand, with some businesses opting for cheaper alternatives like templates rather than custom web design, contributing to a drop in revenue in 2022. Despite these challenges, rising stock prices linked to AI advancements pushed business income substantially upward, enabling further investment in web design through 2023 and 2024 and benefiting revenue. However, high inflation and rising interest rates have recently raised costs and curtailed demand, with some businesses opting for cheaper alternatives like templates rather than custom web design. In response to shifting client expectations, web designers now prioritize mobile-first design, rapid performance, personalization and interactive content. These adaptations, along with investments in new technologies, have allowed web designers—especially smaller ones—to differentiate themselves and sustain long-term growth. Overall, revenue for web design services companies has swelled at a CAGR of 2.3% over the past five years, reaching $47.4 billion in 2025. This includes a 1.5% rise in revenue in that year. Market saturation will limit revenue growth for website designers moving forward. With nearly all US adults now using the Internet, opportunities for finding new customers are dwindling as internet usage approaches universality. As a result, major providers may turn to mergers and acquisitions to maintain market share, while smaller companies will likely focus on niche markets or specific geographies to secure stable income. Additionally, tariffs imposed by the Trump administration could further restrain demand by increasing consumer prices, reducing disposable income and pushing the economy toward recession. In response, web designers may expand geographically to find new clients. Amid these headwinds, AI and automation technologies are transforming design workflows, increasing efficiency while fostering a greater need for skilled workers and enabling more tailored services. Companies are also adapting by prioritizing inclusivity and sustainability, attracting broader demographics and eco-conscious clients. Overall, revenue for web design services providers is forecast to inch upward at a CAGR of 1.1% over the next five years, reaching $49.9 billion in 2030.

During the current period, tax preparation companies have navigated fluctuating economic conditions with varying success. The onset of COVID-19 triggered a decline in corporate profit, leading many businesses to cut back on outsourced tax services. Such financial pullbacks resulted in a dip in revenue, as companies either opted to utilize in-house tax teams or neglected additional tax services entirely. Regardless, as vaccination rollouts facilitated reopening economies in 2021, consumer spending soared, revitalizing corporate profit and demand for external tax preparers from individuals and businesses. Rising unemployment due to the cooling labor market brought on by high interest rates has recently reduced the number of taxpayers who can afford the industry’s services, causing revenue to slump in 2024. Overall, revenue for tax preparation service companies has grown at a CAGR of 2.9% over the past five years, reaching $14.5 billion in 2025. This includes a 0.9% rise in revenue in that year. Technological advancements have significantly transformed the tax preparation landscape. The advent and integration of artificial intelligence (AI) have streamlined processes, enhancing the efficiency of tax service providers. Specifically, AI-driven software has reduced time spent on tax preparation by automating data analysis, thereby enabling tax professionals to pivot toward more value-added services such as tax planning and customer relationship management. Over time, this will reduce wage costs and boost profit. Despite these advancements, there's been a notable rise in electronic filing, posing a threat to traditional tax preparers as more software companies market user-friendly tax solutions directly to consumers. However, major companies have adapted by incorporating these technological tools into their offerings, aiming to provide more comprehensive services. Looking ahead, tax preparation businesses are poised to experience moderate growth amid shifting economic conditions. As the US economy is expected to rebound gradually from current financial challenges, GDP and disposable income are projected to grow, fostering demand for professional tax services. Yet, ongoing competition from digital solutions, coupled with potential changes in tax legislation under the new administration, could shape the industry's trajectory. Overall, revenue for tax preparation service businesses in the US is forecast to creep upward at a CAGR of 1.1% in the next five years, reaching $15.3 billion in 2030.

Landscaping services had a market value of approximately 178 billion U.S. dollars in the United States in 2024. This translated to a growth rate of 7.2 percent between 2023 and 2024. In 2016, the market size of landscaping services surpassed 100 billion U.S. dollars for the first time. A growing services industry The market value of landscaping services in the United States was not the only financial segment within this industry that demonstrated significant growth over the last few years. The combined revenue of the leading landscaping companies in North America also showed a substantial increase in profits throughout the last decade. Furthermore, the average annual expenditure on gardening/lawn care services per consumer unit in the United States exhibited a constant increase in spending since 2015. Both trends suggest that landscaping services will continue to grow in the foreseeable future. Major players In 2024, the most profitable landscaping services company in the United States by a large distance was Brightview, who generated a revenue of almost three billion U.S. dollars. Brightview are the only publicly traded landscape management company in the world, which may explain their exponential growth over the last several years. TruGreen, the company with the third highest revenue in 2024, still recorded one billion U.S. dollars less profit than Brightview in the same year.

Financial data service providers offer financial market data and related services, primarily real-time feeds, portfolio analytics, research, pricing and valuation data, to financial institutions, traders and investors. Companies aggregate data and content from stock exchange feeds, broker and dealer desks and regulatory filings to distribute financial news and business information to the investment community. Recent globalization of the world capital market has benefited the financial sector and increased trading speed. Businesses rely on real-time data more than ever to help them make informed decisions. When considering a data service provider, an easy-to-use interface that shows customized, relevant information is vital for clients. During times of economic uncertainty, this information becomes more crucial than ever. Clients want information as soon and as frequently as possible, causing providers to prioritize efficiency and delivery. This was evident during the pandemic, the high interest rate environment in the latter part of the period and as the Fed cuts rates in 2024. Increased automation has helped industry players process large volumes of financial data, reducing analysis and reporting times. In addition, automation has reduced operational costs and reduced human data errors. These trends have resulted in growing revenue, which has risen at a CAGR of 3.2% to $21.9 billion over the past five years, including a 3.5% uptick in 2024 alone. Corporate profit will continue to expand as inflationary concerns begin to wane slowly. This will lead many companies to take on new clients as financial data helps them gain insight into operating their business amid ongoing trends and economic shakeups. With technology constantly advancing, service providers will continue investing in research and development to improve their products and services and best serve their clients. As technological advances continue, smaller players will be able to better compete with larger industry players. While this may lead to new companies joining the industry, larger providers will resume consolidation activity to expand their customer base. Overall, revenue is expected to swell at a CAGR of 2.7% to $25.0 billion by the end of 2029.
