In 2023, the information and consulting sector recorded a subdued development. Although turnover has increased in nominal terms, there has been a decline in real terms. Companies are generally confident for the current year 2024. With regard to turnover expectations, however, it is clear that the increases are likely to be primarily price-related and only small increases are expected in real terms. Taxes and duties, bureaucracy and administration as well as weak customer demand pose the greatest challenges for companies. Further information and reports; WKO press release
