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 rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the professional services sector, particularly in legal, consulting, architectural, and engineering domains. Higher costs for imported technology, software licenses, office equipment, and digital infrastructure have raised operational expenses for firms reliant on global tools and platforms. International consulting projects are facing delays or cost overruns due to increased travel expenses and restricted access to foreign-sourced data and tools. Additionally, clients in manufacturing, construction, and logistics, heavily affected by tariffs are cutting back on outsourced services, squeezing demand for professional expertise. As a result, service providers are reevaluating pricing structures, expanding domestic supplier relationships, and investing in AI-driven solutions to sustain profitability and client engagement amid economic uncertainty.

The business information services market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $69.86 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5%. The projected growth during the forecast period is driven by a rising demand for real-time decision-making tools, the increasing complexity of global supply chains, the broadening of cross-border regulatory frameworks, the need for tailored customer intelligence, and a surge in demand for fraud prevention analytics. Key trends anticipated in this period include the integration of artificial intelligence for data analysis, a move toward predictive analytics platforms, automation in risk scoring and profiling, the adoption of cloud-based business intelligence services, and the creation of industry-specific data solutions.
The growth of the business information services market is being driven by the surge in data volume, which enhances insights and decision-making capabilities. Data volume refers to the increasing amount of digital data generated from various sources such as social media, IoT devices, enterprise systems, and online transactions. This rise is mainly fueled by the expanding digitalization of services and operations across different sectors, which continuously produces data from customer interactions, logistics, and automated systems. A higher volume of data allows business information services to gain deeper insights, better recognize patterns, and make more accurate forecasts, supporting informed decisions through thorough market and operational analysis. For example, according to the SODA Foundation in December 2022, the average data growth for end-user organizations in the US increased from 700 TB in 2021 to 2,208 TB in 2022, showing a threefold rise in data volume within a year. Hence, the expanding data volume is a key factor propelling the business information services market.
Leading companies in the business information services sector are concentrating on developing sophisticated solutions such as business intelligence platforms to improve data-driven decision-making and provide real-time insights for strategic benefits. These platforms are technologies that collect, analyze, and display data, allowing users to generate reports, dashboards, and insights for tracking trends and enhancing performance. For instance, in January 2025, LexisNexis Legal and Professional, a US-based provider of information and analytics, introduced Nexis+ AI, a generative AI-powered business intelligence platform. It includes proprietary conversational search features that deliver accurate, multi-source responses with citation links, while reducing hallucinations through retrieval-augmented generation. This platform helps users speed up research, make well-informed decisions, and ensure data security and regulatory compliance.
