The report below gives a good overview of the Fall 2025 M&A activity in the Business Services Industry Sector. The business services industry in the world is developing at a high rate in 2025 due to the growth in digital technology and cloud-based development. Managed services represent a strong growth area with the current market size of USD 441.1 billion this year, projected to USD 1,314.9 billion by 2035, with a current CAGR of 11.5%. The increase highlights the need for scalable IT infrastructure, cybersecurity technologies, including managed security as the 24.5% market leader, and AI-assisted operations in the cloud. The role of the USA is critical, particularly when business organizations are progressing in the field of AI, zero-trust architecture, and the use of hybrid clouds. IBM, Accenture, and DXC Technology, as market leaders, are expanding their automation-first and AI-driven offerings to address new needs. Variances in procurement demand are indicated by the shifts towards outcome-based contracts and consumption-based billing models, which are supplemented by greater emphasis on hybrid working and sustainability.

The 2025 GBS Survey by Deloitte focuses on how digital transformation helps companies to create agile multifunctional services in the international business.
