In a world marked by constant challenges and uncertainty, how can growing businesses balance ambition and risk?
In an increasingly unpredictable and demanding economic and business environment, companies are expected to make growth decisions while simultaneously navigating uncertainty, technological transformation and evolving market demands.
It is in this context that the Nexia Global Growth Insights Survey 2026 brings together the perspectives of business leaders across diverse markets and identifies the key trends shaping the future of growth.
Developed by Nexia, a global network of independent audit and consulting firms, this first study presents the views of 179 businesses representative of 118 countries. More than 70% of respondents are shareholders, directors or members of senior management, providing a valuable perspective from those directly responsible for strategic, investment and growth decisions.
Expectations remain positive: 61% of the companies surveyed expect revenue growth of between 5% and 20% over the next 12 months, in an environment where adaptability and the ability to define effective growth strategies are becoming increasingly important.
Among the key themes explored are:
• Business confidence, as well as expansion and growth strategies, including strengthening presence in existing markets and entering new ones;
• Technology and Artificial Intelligence, which are playing an increasingly important role in transforming business models;
• People and talent, as essential elements in turning growth plans into tangible results;
• Innovation and adaptability, in a context where the ability to respond to change can be critical to competitiveness;
• Sustainability and long-term value creation, which continue to gain importance in shaping business strategies.
Whether you are preparing your business for growth, managing risk or investing in the future, the Nexia Global Growth Insights Survey 2026 offers valuable insights to support more informed decision-making and turn uncertainty into new opportunities. More than simply identifying trends, the study provides an insight into how businesses are preparing for growth in an environment where opportunity and risk go hand in hand.
Through our Nexia network, we support businesses and organisations in responding to the challenges that accompany these transformations, combining local knowledge with an international perspective.
