Business-as-usual could erase 30% of revenue for tech services firms, Bain & Co finds
Bain forecasts tech service firms face a 30% revenue drop without AI adoption and warns firms could lose up to 50% of enterprise value due to multiple global shifts.
- On Nov. 18, 2025, Bain & Company published a Boston analysis warning that continuing business-as-usual could erode tech services sector revenue by 30% or more.
- Bain says AI is the biggest disrupter in tech services, while economic nationalism, an aging population and the energy transition also reshape demand and delivery.
- Leading providers that reshape offerings and talent can grow 8% to 10% and increase revenue multiples by 3 to 3.5 times, says Bain, through a zero-based AI approach that unlocks margin improvements.
- Bain warns providers need to take decisive action now; deal discounting could cost 5 to 7 points of EBIT margin and contribute to up to half of enterprise value loss, according to Bain's assessment.
- The rise of an AI-driven economy is fueling growth in data operations, systems modernization and chip design, while Bain identifies eight imperatives including targeted 'micro-battles' and platform-based, value-based pricing.
