With the highly dynamic nature of several European industries and markets, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic, companies prefer to consult management consulting firms for a deeper and more assured insight into the markets and other purposes to ensure well-thought and data-backed decisions.

• Management consulting firms provide services that help organizations improve their efficiency. The firms analyze the operations and understand the existing organizational inefficiencies ranging from the high cost of raw materials to HR policies. The company utilizes its expertise to create a strategy for effectively addressing all the challenges. Due to increased competition across various industries, profit margins are decreasing. One of the most effective ways to boost profits is by enhancing organizational performance.
• Many companies constantly try to reduce costs and increase efficiency to transfer the saved expenses to the customer and withstand the intense competition they face. This leads to increased demand for business process improvisations and consulting related to operational efficiency. Regulatory changes, such as Brexit and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), have increased demand for consulting across all major service lines. Multinational organizations seek high-value advice to comply with regulations, boosting the demand for management consulting services.
• In the general management consulting category, consulting firms assist with projects that require setting strategic direction, pricing of products, and merger and acquisition strategy. With the organization's growth, they need experts to address challenges and help them channel energy toward growth and expansion initiatives. Consultants spend lots of time understanding the business requirements and providing tailored operations and financial engineering strategies.
• Management consulting companies face an increasingly complex macro-environment in which they must continue providing the best advice. To simplify the process, firms deliver projects with subcontractors, partner companies, and independents. Hence, providing the project faster, more efficiently, and with tighter budgets while achieving customer satisfaction is challenging. Moreover, increasing client demand for more value, higher-quality service, and faster delivery of solutions and services in a more agile environment fueled by rapid innovation hinder market growth.
• The post-COVID-19 pandemic allowed many consulting firms to look after their supply chain processes. Organizations' curiosity to optimize the operations to bridge the gap in the supply chain after the pandemic was a chief motivational factor for them to refer to these management consulting services. For instance, in February 2021, Scotland's health service awarded a contract worth more than GBP 2 million (USD 2.58 million) to KPMG for management and advisory services for the nation's COVID-19 vaccine program.
