2. Market Overview
Industry Profiles
The Budget 2021, plans and proposes to extend business and income support measures through to the fall and to
make investments to create jobs and help businesses across the economy come roaring back. It will also support
almost 500,000 new training and work opportunities including 215,000 opportunities for youth, support
businesses in the most affected sectors for example tourism and arts and culture. It also accelerates investment in
digital transformation of small and medium-sized businesses. This plan puts the government on track to meet its
commitment to create 1 million jobs by the end of the year 2021. Thus, this increased government expenditure
has intended to help Canadian SMEs expand and grow, which could necessitate management and marketing
consultancy services.
The performance of the market is forecast to accelerate, with an anticipated CAGR of 6.9% for the five-year period
2021 - 2026, which is expected to drive the market to a value of $10.9bn by the end of 2026. Comparatively, the
US and UK markets will grow with CAGRs of 7.1% and 8.1% respectively, over the same period, to reach respective
values of $256.8bn and $20.3bn in 2026.
The number of consulting firms have been growing year-on-year, which is expected to continue. According to an
article published by the University of British Columbia, the number of consulting firms in Canada has grown each
year and this trend is expected to continue throughout the forecast period. Domestic and international
competition is forcing Canadian businesses to develop new or improved products, increase their productivity and
expand sales in global markets as well. Financing for innovation or growth has always been a challenge for many
companies in Canada. Both the federal and provincial governments provide their financial support through over
$20 billion in various funding programs every year. Sourcing funding from various programs can help in providing
the companies the edge they need to take their business to the next level.

6.1. Summary
Figure 5: Forces driving competition in the management & marketing consultancy market in Canada, 2021
The degree of rivalry in the Canadian management and marketing consultancy market is assessed as moderate. Prior to
the COVID-19 pandemic, the market experienced healthy growth, which has historically eased rivalry somewhat.
Players' ability to differentiate their services by focusing on a particular market niche, together with low exit costs, also
tempers rivalry in this market.
The consultancy services market is constantly evolving, and year after year there is a growing demand for ever more
complex services. Nowadays, it is not enough to offer just one type of product as the service must be comprehensive.
For this very reason, the top players in this market offer the full spectrum of consulting services.
The high likelihood of buyers' backward integration, market players' dispensability in most situations, and low switching
costs, all work to drive up the power of buyers. Buyer power in this market is therefore strong. Nevertheless, the
experience the consulting companies have gathered over the past decade (especially when taking into consideration
the top players) gives an advantage to established consulting companies.
Supplier power is also high, largely as a result of high switching costs for market players, as well as suppliers' scale: large
multinational ICT firms such as IBM often dwarf the consultancies they supply, for instance.
There is a moderate threat from new entrants to the market, as although reputation is extremely important, which
works against start-ups, it is possible to carve out a niche in the market; for example, by focusing on a particular aspect
of a market.
Finally, there is a strong threat from substitutes, as under normal circumstances, consultancy services are fairly
dispensable to the majority of potential buyers, and buyers' backward integration always poses a significant risk.
Industry Profiles
Figure 6: Drivers of buyer power in the management & marketing consultancy market in Canada, 2021
Consulting firms are continuously on the lookout for acquisitions in Canada as a means to expand their service
offerings, client networks, consultancy teams, or to enter new segments or launch new solutions. As the number of
buyers in the Canadian market has been increasing over time that has reduced the buyer power somewhat. In 2020,
the Canadian economy shrunk, which resulted in reduced demand for consultancy services, and enhanced buyer power
as players are more dependent on clients to invest in services in order to maintain profitability in a challenging
economic year.
Buyers of management and marketing consultancy services can range from small to large companies, operating across
a wide range of markets and industries. Most of the Canadian consultancies are based in the provinces of Ontario,
Alberta and British Colombia. This is where most of the buyers are located as well.
The public sector is one of the largest customers for the consultancy market, with companies such as Deloitte, EY,
PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), and McKinsey & Company often working closely with governments to provide key
insights into social and economic trends. For example, Transport Canada and Public Works and Government Services
Canada awarded a contract for business consulting and project management services to Avenai Inc., which is part of
Accenture, in 2021.
The service is relatively costly due to the high level of specialized knowledge required and this can deter smaller
companies. As a result, buyers in this market are highly likely to backward integrate by employing an analyst or a team
internally, to review and improve performance. This tendency towards backward integration strengthens the overall
buyer power.
In general, third party consultancy services are fairly dispensable, which also reduces buyer power, although they
occasionally become highly important to customers, such as when the existing management structure of a firm proves
inadequate to accommodate a large change process. Buyer power is also bolstered by low switching costs; since buyers
enter into a contract for the duration of a service, between contracts, buyers are free to switch consultancy firms at
will. It should be noted, however, that many projects have a prolonged duration, which would make any switching of
consultants expensive.
Furthermore, 'relationship consulting' is an emerging trend, with consultancies and customers building a long,
sustained relationship over the long-term. A significant degree of differentiation might be found between consultancy
firms, depending primarily on the type of business each firm specializes in. This differentiation often limits buyers'
options and undermines their power over market players.
Industry Profiles
Overall, the buyer power in the management and marketing consultancy market is assessed as strong.
Industry Profiles
Figure 7: Drivers of supplier power in the management & marketing consultancy market in Canada, 2021
Large multinational ICT hardware and software firms are major suppliers to the management and marketing
consultancy market.
Consultancy firms tend to invest heavily in ICT systems and after sale updates. The providers usually offer technical help
and maintenance services as part of their supply contract. For example, a SAP Canada study was initiated at the end of
2021 in partnership with IDC Canada. This survey found that digital transformation is something that Canadian
companies felt would be the most valuable business investment throughout 2022. The survey indicated a surge in
enterprises that have fully integrated digital strategies into their business. Signing onto such a contract increases
supplier power significantly. On the other hand, the players account for a sizeable amount of suppliers revenue and so
losing such a contract may mean a substantial cut in the income of suppliers.
Firms are also beginning to capitalize on social media, with project managers attempting to integrate it into ERP
systems. Such services involve binding companies with long-term contracts, which would incur high switching costs, not
only to exit the contract, but also to conduct the restructuring of the systems and subsequent training.
Although some providers have their own consultancy division, such as IBM’s Global Services, forward integration by
suppliers is unlikely.
Overall, supplier power is assessed as strong.
Industry Profiles
Figure 8: Factors influencing the likelihood of new entrants in the management & marketing consultancy market in Canada, 2021
The leading management and marketing consultancies are multinational companies with exceptionally strong brand
images. The Canadian consultancy market is dominated by multinational players such as PWC, Ernst & Young, and
Deloitte. The established reputation of these major players could be a factor discouraging new entrants to the market,
as it is unlikely that smaller, emerging players will pose any real threat to these companies. However, despite the
presence of such big incumbents, smaller firms with more specialist services are able to successfully compete within the
market.
The majority of market revenues are becoming more concentrated due to scale advantages; this, combined with a vast
knowledge pool spanning many industries and sectors, favors bigger players. Meanwhile, small scale entry into the
market depends heavily on tapping an industry specific niche or regional focus, with the vast majority of consultancy
activity in Canada taking place in Ontario, Alberta and British Colombia.
That being said, a good track record of improving cost-efficiency is a distinct advantage in this market. This presents a
significant barrier for new, unproven companies. Moreover, management and marketing consultancy involves a high
degree of specialist and proprietary knowledge, with established companies developing a high degree of in-house
expertise, further disadvantaging young businesses.
Internationalization strategies are in increased demand as many firms look overseas in the face of stagnating domestic
markets. M&A is also a key expansion strategy. In June 2022, Deloitte Canada acquired Montreal-based cloud
consultancy firm, AE Cloud Consultants LTD. (AECC), to bolster its presence among mid-market clients in Quebec, and
further strengthen its leadership and offerings within the Oracle NetSuite practice.
The Canadian management and consultancy market saw a sharp decline in 2020, but rebounded in 2021. Growth is
expected to accelerate over the forecast period, which may serve to attract new entrants to the market.
Overall, the threat from new entrants is deemed moderate.
Industry Profiles
Figure 9: Factors influencing the threat of substitutes in the management & marketing consultancy market in Canada, 2021
Many larger companies and organizations have created in-house business departments that employ analysts and
marketing teams to provide business insights and achieve organizational efficiencies. This kind of in-house consultancy
is the most common form of substitute. Smaller businesses may likewise employ a business analyst or a small team of
personnel to perform these services at a lower cost over the long-term.
Arrangements such as these function as direct substitutes to management and marketing consultancy businesses. That
said, running such a department can be very costly, and only well-established companies with a clear need for these
services are likely to invest the resources in them. Only mature consultancy firms could be a match for in-house
departments when it comes to the knowledge of a specific area of a market that an individual company's operations
will have accumulated over many years. Overall, the threat of substitutes is considered strong.
Industry Profiles
Figure 10: Drivers of degree of rivalry in the management & marketing consultancy market in Canada, 2021
The Canadian consulting market has a low level of market share concentration, accounting for just 2.2% of the global
market’s total value in 2021. The vast majority of firms in the market are found to be small, non-employing firms that
service small geographic markets or niche industries. This is largely a result of the market's low barriers to entry, as
there are few capital requirements or regulatory issues outside of gaining relevant market knowledge.
The leading firms in this market are typically large corporations such as McKinsey & Company, Deloitte and PWC. This
tends to reduce rivalry somewhat as these larger players do not theoretically have to compete as intensely with the
smaller players in order to remain competitive in the market. Rather, their brand name is popular enough to attract
buyers. However, competition between major players is intensified by the fact that these larger organizations are able
to expend resources in order to remain competitive with their rivals.
There are significant similarities between management and marketing consultancies; many employ similar methods,
and depend on similar IT infrastructure, for example. These similarities drive up rivalry by forcing market players to
compete on price when their services are not otherwise sufficiently differentiated.
That being said, market players often do have the ability to differentiate themselves in this market, by focusing their
work on a specific industry niche, or serving a local area, for instance. These possibilities alleviate rivalry.
Furthermore, exit costs in this market are fairly low; in a knowledge-based market, there is no need to offload large
quantities of expensive production machinery, for example. This also reduces rivalry by lowering the cost of failure.
Overall, the rivalry is assessed as moderate.
Industry Profiles
7. Competitive Landscape
The Canada management and marketing consultancy market accounted for 2.2% of the market's value in 2021,
making it fairly small when compared to the US, which accounts for over 51% of the global market. Canada is
home to many of the top consulting firms in the world, which includes a combination of global firms and
homegrown consultancies. Domestic firms tend to have a strong reputation in the Canadian market, and benefit
from the scale of international operations. In 2021, there was an uptake of new technologies that enabled the
leading firms to enhance their offering and strengthen their position in the market.
Industry Profiles
the leading players in this market are similar to each other, which has led to intense competition with regards to
the development of AI technology.
Companies around the world are beginning to leverage AI to better meet customer demands and expectations and
is a strategy that PwC is using through a number of strategic partnerships. PwC collaborates with over 25
computer science departments at institutions such as Stanford, MIT, Carnegie Mellon, University of California (San
Diego) and the University of Chicago. The company also has alliances with AWS, Google and Microsoft Azure that
enables it to run models at scale and maximize value for its clients. PwC also has partnerships with over 100
leading innovators, companies such as AnyLogic for simulation platforms, Narrative Science for natural language
processing, and Data Robot for automated machine learning. Strategic partnerships allow the company to tap into
a new market and keep up with trends and innovations in the marketing and management consultancy market.
Deloitte has also been keen to develop its AI technology within its business through its own system, Advanced
Analytics & Modeling (AAM), which seeks to provide end-to-end business solutions by using advanced statistical
techniques to analyze large quantities of information to produce predictive modelling, simulations, and scenario
planning, among other features. Also, over the past few years, artificial intelligence (AI) has matured into a
collection of powerful technologies that have been found to deliver competitive advantage to businesses across
industries. The global AI adoption and investments are soaring.

immunity, and a wave of innovation that might produce treatments and vaccines. Thus, the consultancy is offering
information on how the COVID-19 outbreak could affect companies in the future and how it is likely to move,
rather than guidance to businesses on how to operate during the pandemic.
Similarly, EY offers an EY Resilience Framework to support clients with business continuity planning and help them
to build resilience as they emerge from the pandemic. Under this framework, the company identifies nine areas
businesses can address to build a structured and comprehensive approach to crisis management and business
resilience. This includes factors such as technology, supply chain and global trade, brand management, and
employee wellbeing.
PwC is offering a specialized website that consists of insights, information and guidance on how businesses can
cope with the COVID-19 outbreak. Under the simple name of COVID-19, this webpage pertains updates on what
the latest government response will mean for businesses, to podcasts and more on where to focus business
strategy over the coming weeks and months.
Deloitte offers the most concrete guidance to businesses regarding how to battle the COVID-19 outbreak. The
consultancy firm is not only offering insights, information and guidance to businesses in the form of case studies,
but provides its clients with webinars where the company’s Chief Economist, joined by a panel of experts each
week, discusses Deloitte’s insights on the challenges organizations are facing, how they are responding and
recommendations on actions they can take today to cope with the COVID-19 outbreak.
