2020 was not a good year for many businesses, including consulting companies. As per the industry reports, the consulting sector saw a significant revenue loss across all markets and segments in 2020 after experiencing continuous growth between 2015 and 2019. Being a people-based, travel-heavy industry, the lockdowns and travel bans during the pandemic time affected the consulting industry significantly. However, the sector gained momentum when countries started lifting the restrictions.
Many experts in the industry believe the pandemic was a blessing in disguise for consulting firms. When the pandemic disrupted the business, it exposed the need for adaptiveness to thrive. Many companies had to look for consults to align their strategies to these continuous global trends to make a comeback. In fact, industry leaders realized that being proactive is better than being reactive.
