Introduction by the
feaco chairman
As the new chairman, it is my pleasure to introduce
the 2010/2011 edition of the Feaco Survey of the
European Management Consultancy Market.
The current scenario is characterized by fluidity,
contamination and discontinuity. The world and
identity of consultancy is undergoing dynamic
change, from the demand, players, services to the
sector’s structural elements. The current process of
transformation is constant and fluid, lacking any
defined elements of stability; it leaves very little
untouched and requires that we be ready to adapt
accordingly.
hybridization between the known and the new
(in its form and/or content); it is therefore the best
tool for helping businesses grow, a tool that must
be employed at both national and European levels
to promote growth.
Together, we have faced a severe economic
recession in recent years. However, the sector of
management consulting already shows a tendency
towards recovery that is greater than forecasted.
With the setbacks of 2009 limited to that year, in
2010 management consulting enjoyed increasing
employment and revenues growing by 2.9%.
Today we are asked to think “big”, to broaden
our vision. This does not mean compromising
specific identities; rather, it has the potential to
enrich them. Strengthening the various national
associations involves equipping them with
tools that accelerate their internationalization.
Liberalizing and opening the market will prompt
a competition on the basis of added value, thus
raising the qualitative level of the services on offer.
In its leading role of developing, representing
and supporting management consulting for
organized businesses, FEACO will continue to use
networking and research activities to promote the
kind of competency hybridization that leads to
mutual benefit.
In this fluid and discontinuous context, consultancy
represents a growth factor and GDP multiplier,
and must be perceived as such by the market.
The answer to discontinuous change cannot be
stagnancy, but rather conscious adaptation or
bravely anticipatory action. It is by inciting such
transformations that consultancy performs its
role of catalyzing growth and development.
Consultancy is innovative in its very nature, it is

ery can be seen; the size of the consulting market
in 2010 almost reached the level of 2008 concerning revenues, and the number of total staff in 2010
highly exceeded its counterpart in the previous
years. The distribution of revenues between the
different key service lines of management consulting is presented in Table 1. The already remarkable
representation of Business Consulting among the
consulting services has further strengthened. IT
Consulting and Development & Integration have
shown better growth rates than before, while proportion of Outsourcing and Other Services have
declined.
The results of the 2010-2011 FEACO survey, conducted in cooperation with the national European
management consulting associations, clearly show
that in regard to the size of the consulting market
last year’s forecast was moderate. The actual results
in regard to revenues in 2010 proved to be 1.6 billion Euros higher than expected in 2009. As markets previously anticipated, the setback experienced in 2009 was limited to that year, so the
estimated growth rate for 2010 (1.6%) turned out
to be an underestimation. Taking year 2009’s data
into consideration revenues increased by 2.9%.

the level of regions, Western Europe is in first
place, followed by the Nordic Region, while Central & Eastern Europe’s total turnover has not decreased remarkably.
The aggregate data from the European consulting industry in 2008-2010 by country and by region is presented in Table 2. According to this,
significant alteration cannot be seen compared
to the previous years. Germany remains the largest consulting market in Europe, followed by the

1Scope of the Market
and Methodology
The main goal of FEACO is to present objectively
and as accurately as possible a picture of the
activity in the Management Consulting (MC)
sector of Europe, aiming for the maximum level of
reliability in the aggregation of the figures which
represent the different elements of the services
which companies in the MC sector offer.
Findings shown here reflect the aggregate data
and the level of detail as a result of the effort
of all the companies, large and small, who
participated and continue to contribute to build
a prosperous, competitive and exciting European
MC Market. The FEACO member associations
and the companies provide a broad spectrum
of MC services. Depending on each national
market, the range and type of services offered
may be at different levels of maturity. The array of
services the management consultancies offer is
dynamic and continuously evolving. Defining the
framework of activity of our sector is therefore not
an easy task, mainly because it concerns a basket
of services that are quite different in the various
countries.
From that perspective and with the objective of
improving our report, FEACO proposed in 2005 a
new definition of the scope of services offered by
management consultancies in Europe and a new
way of segmenting these services. This exercise
resulted in the following division of the main
services:




onsulting, which we divide into Business
C
Consulting and IT Consulting,
Development and Systems Integration
(excluding software development),
Outsourcing of value added services,
Other services.
These segments are described in detail in the
subsection “Analysis by Service Line”. The new
framework implied a change in methodology
for the collection and aggregation of the
quantitative and qualitative data, which are
provided by the companies. The methodology
consists basically in the collection of the data by
our member associations on the MC sector via
the aggregation of the figures from the individual
consulting companies. In 2007, FEACO decided
1
to distinguish between associations with an indepth knowledge of their domestic market and
associations from countries whose markets are
less well-known or well-measured. As a result,
quantitative data were collected on two levels:
Key countries were asked to provide:
 Volume of turnover for the year 2010
 Data on staffing
 Business volume per service area
 Business volume per major client sector
 Daily fee rates for 2010
 General forecasts for 2011
Non key countries were asked to provide:
 Volume of turnover for the year 2010
 Data on staffing
 General forecasts for 2011
In parallel, qualitative data were solicited in a
separate questionnaire on companies’ views on
the development and the future of the MC sector
in selected areas of activity. The results of it are
summarised in the section of the report on trends
in the MC sector. The MC sector is dynamic as
every year new consulting companies appear,
while others merge (which give rise to spin-offs)
or reorganize themselves. Because the data are
provided on a voluntary basis, the sample of
companies surveyed in each European country
varies from year to year. The latest edition of the
survey allows us to redefine retroactively some of
the data obtained in previous years.
This year 15 countries contributed with their
effort to the final FEACO report 2010/2011. Out
of the 15 Full Members 11 members (Austria,
Finland, France, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Portugal,
Romania, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland) delivered
answers and Denmark, Germany, Ireland and the
United Kingdom also participated in the survey.
The FEACO Report 2010/2011 is considered to be
representative, because the countries delivering
data cover over 80% of the total European
Management Consulting Market. Data were
evaluated on a statistical basis, using data and
variance analysis to prove the reliability of the
results. The estimated data were calculated on
the basis of the median results of the various
indicators.

on target to beat the record with an optimistic
forecast of 89 billion Euros in 2011.
After several years of incremental growth, the
industry experienced a slight decline in 2009, but
it seemed to be only a temporary downfall as in
2010 the volume of the MC Market has almost

increase reached 519% compared to the data of
the 1996 base year. A moderate setback could be
experienced in 2009, but a new development phase
has begun in 2010 as the MC market produced
516% compared to the base year. The anticipations
for 2011 mirror the positive expectations of the
participants as they expect a new peak.
In Figure 2 a similar optimistic tendency can be
discerned about the evolution of the MC market
turnover in percentage. Until 2004, changes
in the MC market turnover can be described
as showing a slow but stable growth. In 2005
revenue significantly increased starting a robust
growth trend. This lasted until 2008, when the

2.1.3 MC Market as % of GDP, 1998-2011
From 2003 to 2004 a similar, barely observable
change took place and then it was followed by an
outstanding increase; for 2011 the expectations
show the return of the level of 2009 of the results.
As can be seen in Figure 3, changes in the MC
market as % of European GDP (Source: Eurostat)
show a 0.01% decrease from 2009 to 2010,
which means that there was no actual change.

In 2010 FEACO developed a new instrument for
comparative analysis – the size of the European
Business Consulting market. Since in most of the
countries Business Consulting is the leading service line within Management Consulting, it can be
a useful tool for comparison-making. The ranking

2.2 Analysis by Service Line

According to the new segmentation introduced
by FEACO in 2005, the MC market is divided into
four segments: Consulting, Development and Integration, Outsourcing and Other services. The
Consulting segment is subsequently divided into
two sub-segments: Business Consulting (BC) and
Information Technology Consulting (ITC).
1. Consulting. These services help private and
public organisations to analyse and redefine their
strategies, to improve the efficiency of their business operations and to optimize their technical
and human resources.
1a. Business Consulting (BC), which includes:
 S
trategy Consulting (SC), which targets the improvement of the long-term, strategic health of
a company: strategic planning development;
mergers & acquisitions; sales; marketing; corporate communication; financial advisory; HR
strategy;
 Organisation/Operation Management (OM)
aims at the integration of business solutions
through Business Process Re-engineering (BPR);
customer/supplier relations management (CRM);
turnaround/cost reduction and purchasing & supply management as well as advise on outsourcing;


France
Spain
Project Management (PM); The application of
knowledge, skills, tools and techniques to a
broad range of activities in order to meet the
requirements of a particular project;
Change Management (CM), this consists of
services which, on top of any other type of consulting service, help an organisation deal with
the effects that change has on the human element of the organisation;
Human Resources Consulting (HR): Consulting
services which target the improvement of the
‘people’ element of an organisation through
performance measurement and management,
reorganisation of benefits, compensations and
retirement schemes, HR strategy and marketing, the development of talent strategies and
executive coaching.
1b. Information Technology Consulting (ITC)
helps organisations to evaluate their IT strategies
with the objective of aligning technology with the
business process. These services include strategic
planning and conceptions, operations and implementations.

Forecast & Analysis
2. Development and Integration that concerns:


the development of applications (excluding
software);
the creation of new functionalities through, often tailored, process developments.
Usually these developments integrate or unite
internal or external business processes and can
involve a conversion of applications so that they
can be used for different platforms or conceptions,



the design of services which integrate applications which were created in different existing
IT applications or infrastructures (systems integration -development);
the deployment and integration of applications;
the implementation of new applications or infrastructures, which refers to the instal-lation
of hardware and/or software, their configuration or adaptation and the testing of their interoperability; and of services which integrate
applications which were created in different
existing IT applications or infrastructures and
the management thereof (systems integration).
3. Outsourcing, which consists of three types
of activities:



I T management services; among these are services for the operation of infrastructures (operation of systems, administration and security,
follow up of cost-effectiveness, configuration
management, management of technology,
etc.) applications management, and help desk
management;
A
pplied Management Services (AMS); this concerns the outsourcing of the development and
implementation of support services for hardware, applications, CRM and infrastructures
(tools for the development of applications and
middleware, as well as software for information management, storage or systems and networks);
B
usiness Process Outsourcing (BPO); this service supposes the externalisation of a complete
business process.
4. Other Services, which consist of a variety of
offerings provided by many MC companies that
are generally complementary to Consulting, Development and Integration, and Outsourcing. Categories here include: Training, Engineering Consulting, Outplacement, Executive Selection and
Recruitment and Audit and Accounting.
2.2.1 Composition of MC Market by Service Line, 2010
Business Consulting is the most robust service line
having increased by 7% points between 2009 and
2010 and it now accounts for 50% of the MC Market.
Another interesting realignment took place in 2010:

Regarding the size of European MC Markets, the average growth rate is 2.9% in 2010 Figure 12 presents
the change in the size of MC Markets in 13 European
countries one by one. The negative extreme of 2010
shows much more moderate numbers than last
year’s extreme – in 2009 a -32.6% decline was experienced in Bosnia & Herzegovina, while in 2010 the
highest decline occurred in Hungary at -12%. From
the 13 European countries 6 experienced setbacks
while 7 countries reported increases. These 7 countries are the United Kingdom (1%), Slovenia (1.1%),
Spain (3.5%), Portugal (4.8%), France (5%), Germany
(5.3%) and Switzerland (5.6%). Countries that experienced modest declines are Italy (-0.8%) and Denmark (-1.5%); countries with moderate declines are
Romania (-7%) and Ireland (-7%); and countries with
significant declines are Greece (-11.2%) and, as already noted, Hungary (-12%).

Compared to last year’s expectations, several
countries estimated their situations in 2010 in a
realistic way; however, several were too optimistic
and three countries underestimated their growth
rates. Germany provided a nearly correct estimate;
countries that underestimated the recession were
Greece, Hungary, Ireland and Romania. Meanwhile,
France, Switzerland and the UK underestimated
their own performances.
For 2011, several countries delivered their esti

mations, which can be seen on Figure 13. According
to this, it can be stated that four countries out
of six expect different levels of growth (Italy,
France, Switzerland and Romania), one country
(Ireland) expects no change for 2011 regarding its
growth rate, and from the countries that provided
estimations for 2011 only one (Greece) forecasted
a 3% decline. So the overall picture of expectations
from the participating countries can be stated as
optimistic in regard to the year 2011.

3.2 Analysis by Daily Rates
3.2.1 Average Daily Fee Rates of Selected European MC Markets, 2010
Daily fee rates are the most difficult to obtain in
any given year. In 2008 only four countries (Greece,
Finland, France and Germany) could provide these
data, in 2009 this number increased to six (Croatia,
France, Germany, Greece, Hungary and Switzerland; in 2010 also six countries were willing to provide these data, however, not the same ones as in
the previous year. In 2010 Finland, Greece, HungaTable 6.

ry, Italy, Romania and Switzerland have given data
on daily rates of Management Consulting.
These six countries can be further classified into
two groups: Hungary, Greece and Romania belong
to one group with lower level of daily fee rates
(€400, €440 and €500) while the second group includes Italy, Finland and Switzerland (€745, €960
and €1250) respectively. The first group is a cluster
in the Central and Eastern European region, while
the second group is situated in Western Europe
and the Nordic region. There is indeed a large gap
between the two groups with more than a twicefold order of magnitude in the amounts received
for a day. Specifically, the mean of the three CEE
countries is €447, while the mean of the three WE
+Nordic countries is €985.

3.3.3 Breakdown of MC in Selected Key Countries (million €), 2010 The breakdown of MC in four key countries is
presented in Figure 16. In Business Consulting
we find Germany closely followed by the UK
in dominating the market; the next two are
France and Spain. Regarding Development
and Integration, we find Germany in first place,
followed by Spain. The turnover of IT Consulting
Figure 16.
Breakdown of MC in Selected Key
Countries (million €), 2010
is the highest in the UK and Germany is second;
this is a change compared to last year. Outsourcing
proved to be a significant service line in Spain.
Surprisingly, in the UK in 2010 Outsourcing does
not appear, however, in 2009 in the UK it was the
second largest service line. Other Services only
appear in the case of Germany.

3.3.4 Breakdown of Business Consulting in Selected Key Countries (million €), 2010
In further analysing Business Consulting (BC), we can
state that Strategy has strengthened its role in Germany, but lost in importance in the UK, France and
Spain. Organization/Operation Management (OM)
dominates the BC Market in the United Kingdom
and in France. Nevertheless, OM is back to back with
Strategy in Germany and accounts for the same as
Strategy in Spain. Change Management and Project
Management are close to each other in case of Germany. In the UK Change Management has strengthened its role at the expense of Project Management.
Human Resource (HR) Consulting enlarged its share
only in Germany and has lost some ground from its
previous importance in the UK and France

Total turnover (million €)
The total turnover of the Management Consulting
market in Austria accounted for 1581 million € in
2010. As Austria did not participate in surveys in
previous years, we can only compare its current
results with other countries. The growth rate of
Austria was 9.8% in 2010 and this is the highest
rate among the examined countries. Among
key service lines Business Consulting dominates
with almost 70% and IT Consulting is the second
major service line. The 88.7% of the consultancy
assignments derive from the private sector.
Regarding Austria’s export activity, it exports
consulting services to countries within the EU
mainly (81.8%) but has almost one-fifth of is
volume with countries outside the EU (18.2%).
The number of consultants compared to total
employment in the MC sector stands at 58%.

produced a healthy 6% growth rate after last year’s
0.5%. While in 2009 some staff reduction took
place in the business, in 2010 the number of total
staff has increased and the number of consultants
with it also. Business Consulting dominated the
market with a 62.5% contribution to turnover,
getting ahead of Other Services (14.2%) and
Development & Integration (9.2%) which came in
second and third. In the private sector the demand
coming from Industry was remarkable, it created
the highest demand for MC, 38.7%, the demand
from the Banking & Insurance sector was quite
low (5.1%), but the results of the Public Sector
were higher than last year, in 2010 it accounted for
11.8%. Almost 70% of the export activity went to
countries in Europe; completed by export turnover
into countries outside Europe, export activity of
Finland altogether account for 26.8% of the total
rate of export activity of MC market in 2010.
4.4 France
By 2009 French firms described the recession in
past terms and this proved to be a self-fulfilling
prophecy as the growth rate for 2010 even
exceeded the forecast; it was 5% instead of the
previously forecasted 3%. Business Consulting
produced the largest part of the turnover (62.1%),
followed by Development & Integration (16%) and
Outsourcing (15%), IT Consulting contributed to it
with 6.4 percent. Regarding client sectors Banking
& Insurance leads the line (30%), Public sector is the
second (15%), closely followed by Industry (14.5%).
The export of consulting services of France mainly
focused on European countries (66.7%), but they
were present outside Europe as well (33.3%) which
together resulted in a 12% total export activity.

4.5 Germany
The total turnover of the German MC market
increased to 27 900 million euros in 2010 which
means that there was only one year (2009) when the
upward tendency in the growth of their turnover
experienced some setback. By 2010 the German
MC market experienced a 5.3% growth again. It is
worth mentioning that their forecast concerning
their growth rate for 2010 was 5.3% which means
represents a solid prognostication system. Of he
total turnover Business Consulting generated 54%,
followed by Development & Integration which
accounted for 19.5%. The key client sector in 2009
was Industry, having generated a 32.4% demand
for MC services. Banking & Insurance performance
was also remarkable recording 23.7%. For its
exports, Germany focused on countries outside
Europe (60%), with the remainder (40%) directed
to European countries. The number of total staff
working in the field of MC increased by 7000
compared to last year and this change encompassed
exclusively consultants, not supporting staff.

Beratermarkt 2010/2011 www.bdu.de).
4.6 Greece
For Greece, the high growth rate (9%) in 2008
turned negative (-9.2%) in 2009 and this downfall
gained further momentum in 2010 with a decline
of -11.2%. Business Consulting highly dominated
the market, covering the 73.9% of key service lines.
Regarding the key client sectors, Public Sector
(46.6%) and Industry (11.9%) are the largest.
Greece’s export activity was remarkable (21.1%),
from which European countries accounted for
three-fifth and non-European countries for twofifth of the total. The number of total staff working
in the field of MC was 1770, with 110 people less
than in 2009, and included mainly consultants
(1551) and only few support staff.

Hungary
The total turnover of the Hungarian Management
Consulting market was 215 million Euros (30

the Hungarian MC market was -12%. Hungary
predicted a -10% growth rate for 2010 in the
previous year, thus revealing a realistic forecasting
scheme. The anticipation for 2011 is more
optimistic, with a growth rate of 2.5% projected
for 2011. The dominant category proved to
be Business Consulting (47%), followed by IT
Consulting (36%) in 2010. In terms of the client
base, the Public Sector was in first place (28%),
closely followed by Banking & Insurance (25%).
Still, the Public Sector lost in importance as in
2009 about 40% was connected to this sector. In
regard to export activity over four-fifth of the total
is directed to countries within Europe. Consultants
dominate heavily over supporting staff as can be
seen in the ratio of 4400 to 4800.

GDP declined by 0.4% in 2010 with an increase
of 1.8% projected for 2011 driven by exports
performance offset by a decline in domestic
demand. Employment is expected to contract by
1.7% in 2011 with a decline in the labour force
of 1% mitigating the impact on unemployment,
projected at 14.2%.
The decline in demand affected the consultancy
sector in 2010 with business volumes down an
estimated 7%.
A Central Statistics Office survey in 2010, with
limited data indicates prices, i.e. fee rates, being
down 0.7% in a category which includes Business
Management Consultancy and up 1.9% in
Computer Programming and Consultancy.
A survey of IMCA members indicated that the
consultancy market is projected to recover slightly
in 2011. Large practices were more positive than
small practices and sole practitioners. Projections
for Strategy consultancy are positive and the
outlook by sector is particularly pessimistic for
Central Government, Other Public Sector and SMEs.
A slight increase in consultancy employment
was projected for 2011 with uncertainty re future
prospects seen as the main constraint to growth.

consultants respectively due to more accurate
data - is due to extra practices reported rather than
market growth. Outsourcing and Development &
Integration are under-reported and if included fully
would increase turnover and employment for both
years.
These figures again show management
consultancy in Ireland to have a smaller share of
the economy than most other European countries
(0.3% of GDP ROI 2010 vs. FEACO average of 0.7%
in 2009). This may be due to Ireland’s high element
of multi-national enterprises with overseas HQs
and a relatively weak indigenous sector. Smaller
economies also tend to be less consultancyintensive as seen in the FEACO data.
The market is primarily domestic with only 8%
exported to Europe or elsewhere.
By service area, Management Consulting comprises
56% of the market with IT Consulting a further
17%. Outsourcing appears to be under-reported at
4% of the total (vs. 34% in the UK 2009).
By sector, Public Sector consultancy is largest at
27% with Banking & Insurance at 22% and Industry
at 10%.
Total turnover in the consultancy market in Ireland

the most from the economic downturn, with a decrease in their turnover of more than 5%. Smaller
companies managed to remain stable or enjoyed

4.10 Portugal
The Portuguese economy was greatly affected
by the global crisis in 2009. Nevertheless the MC
market could recover very quickly as in 2010 this
MC market could attain a 4.8% growth rate. The
total turnover was 1236 million euro with key
service lines being Other Services (57.3%) and
Business Consulting (42.7%). In 2009 there was
a challenge for the Portuguese economy including the MC sector, to develop export activities.
In 2010 export accounted for 13.1% which compared to previous year’s 8.3% can be considered
a good result. The number of people employed
by the MC market was 15423 from whom 9254
were working as consultants. This means that the
number of people employed in this sector has decreased by almost 2000.
4.11 Romania After eight years of a nice, sustainable growth pace,
the Romanian management consulting market
experienced a downturn in 2009. The really high
growth rate of 30% in 2008 turned into a decrease
of 16% in 2009. This dramatic change did not
continue, but a modest downfall can still be seen
in 2010. However, there is an optimistic mood,
with expectations for a 20% growth rate in 2011.
The majority of clients in the recent past came
from the Public Sector (35.2%). Romania reported
data a 12.8% rate for export activity for 2010; of
this, four-fifth was targeted countries within the
EU and one-fifth was directed to countries out of
the EU. The number of total staff working on MC
market did not change at all, it was 10 000 in 2010
and 80% of those worked as consultants, 20% as
supporting staff.

4.12 Slovenia
Growth in some industry sectors, increased demand
in the banking sector for necessary restructuring,
new products, cost reduction and increased demand for special knowledge were the main demand
drivers for MC in 2010. On the other side, cost reduction schemes in both private and public sector,
lack of (liquid) assets, short term oriented clients and
strong pressure on fees in public sectors were factors
with highly negative effects.
Growth rates
Clients demanded solutions for business optimisation, cost reduction, market positioning and new
markets, risk and change management, project
management and several lines of human resource
or HR management (communication, leadership,
team work, focused training, motivation, and payment schemes).
Key sectors (%)
It is expected that this demand structure is not going to change considerably in 2011, but Strategy
Consulting should experience good growth and clients will pay again more attention to growth and
innovation.
It is now expected that consultants will deliver additional value for the agreed project and fee.
Clients are generally seen as less loyal than before
and long term relations can change suddenly. In spite
of general and strong pressure on charges, however,
some MC firms are able to increase their fees.
Consulting firms will have to meet many challenges
as new rivals arise and clients demand more value
from their suppliers. Consultants will also have to
increase their presence in foreign markets and find
appropriate local partners.
In 2010 the impact of recession led to decreased
economic results in global terms. In spite of a certain degree of revival in some export oriented sectors the general picture was worse than at the end
of 2009. Management consulting firms had to cope
with unstable and deteriorating market that affected at least one third of them. Their income – in total
- was still a bit higher than in 2009 and amounted
to 271 m €. About 15% of the income was realised
outside Slovenia, half of this hare within the EU
countries. The number of consultants slightly grew.
But it was clearly stated that a significant upturn is
still to come.
Management consulting amounted to roughly 70%
of the total income. The structure of individual service lines was not changed a great deal. As expected,
the share of Strategy Consulting was again reduced

services the demand for Executive Recruitment Consulting decreased quite considerably.
Industry remained the most important client (in
spite of a relative decrease in comparison with 2009)
and is followed by Banking and Insurance, while
Public Sector remains in third place but with a smaller share than before.
In general terms, 2011 is unlikely to be better than
the previous year without a strong revival of investment demand that could incite growth in a set of
complementary industry sectors. The nation is expecting a growth of 2% in its GDP; but appropriate government decisions and action are needed
to achieve that. Until then, some sectors and a
number of individual firms remain in n uncertain,
risky situation.
The Public Sector is not capable to improve its worsening image as less important and respected client.
Decreasing demand, not sufficient quality level of
public procurement and unlimited pressure on fees
not only deteriorate market conditions, but start to
harm the MC sector as a whole. It I possible that existing networks may develop and result in mergers.
Consultants are expected to foster innovation processes and to offer efficient new business models, capable of coping with major changes in the economy
and in society.
MC firms will have to focus on foreign markets much
more ambitiously and with necessary new skills, succeeding to find able and trustworthy local partners.

The employment in the MC sector has increased

Public Sector incomes have fallen because the
budgets have been cut down and it has been a
strong Public Administration investment reduction in the domestic market. The opposite situation happened in other countries, mainly in South
America.
Another driver of this market during 2010 comes
from cost optimizing policies that bring about
services related to IT outsourcing, development

The year 2010 turned out to be better for the
UK Management Consulting market than it was
expected. They anticipated a 4% negative growth
rate; the actual growth rate in 2010 turned out to
be a small but positive 1%. This resulted in almost
200 million € growth in total turnover compared
to the level of 2009. In 2010 the total turnover
of UK MC market was 19 009 million €. Business
Consulting remained the most important service
line (74.1%), with IT Consulting; together they
cover the whole MC market. The most remarkable
client sector was Public Sector (29.9%) followed
by Banking & Insurance (24.4%). The role of
export activity of the MC market in the UK has
strengthened also, from last year’s 7% to 10% in
2010 (three-fifth of which directed to countries
within the EU, two-fifth to countries out of the
EU). There was a drastic reduction in the number
of staff working in the field of Management
Consulting. While in 2009 the MC market could
employ 64 717 people, 56 360 of whom worked
as consultants, in 2010 they reported that the
number of the total staff decreased to 36 789, out
of whom 35 663 were consultants.
