Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally.

The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the services sector, particularly in business services, IT, and professional consulting operations. Higher costs for imported technology, office equipment, and essential digital infrastructure have raised operating expenses for service providers, forcing them to either pass on costs to clients or absorb margin pressures. Outsourcing firms and IT service companies are also facing challenges due to increased costs of hardware components and delayed global supply chains, affecting project delivery timelines and profitability. Additionally, retaliatory tariffs have dampened demand for U.S.-based professional services in key international markets, leading to a slowdown in export-driven revenue streams. The sector must now prioritize digital transformation, cost optimization, and expanding domestic client bases to sustain growth and maintain competitiveness amid ongoing trade uncertainty.
