Solutions encompass a comprehensive set of hardware and software components designed to address specific business or technical challenges. They aim to help businesses satisfy customers, provide effective training and development services, and maintain competitiveness in the sector. These solutions can be deployed in on-premise and cloud modes, serving various organizational types such as large enterprises and small to medium enterprises. They are utilized across industry verticals, including software and technology, retail, banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI), manufacturing, telecommunication, government, and defense.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the ensuing trade tensions in spring 2025 are taking a toll on the professional services sector, especially within legal, consulting, architectural, and engineering fields. Increased duties on imported technology, software, office hardware, and digital infrastructure have pushed up operational costs for firms that rely on global systems and resources. Cross-border consulting engagements are experiencing delays and higher expenses due to elevated travel costs and limited access to international data and tools. Moreover, industries heavily impacted by tariffs such as manufacturing, construction, and logistics are reducing their reliance on outsourced services, dampening demand for professional support. In response, service providers are reassessing pricing models, strengthening ties with domestic vendors, and accelerating the adoption of AI and automation to maintain profitability and client satisfaction in an increasingly volatile environment.

This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. Tariff barriers are expected to challenge U.S. enterprises by driving up costs for sharable content object reference model-compliant learning platforms and xAPI analytics tools developed in the UK and Israel, resulting in delayed digital transformation of training programs and higher learning management system implementation costs. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
