EBJ's Annual Review of the<br>
U.S. Environmental Consulting & Engineering Industry<br>
Volume XXI, Number 3/4, 2008

EBJ's Annual Environmental Industry Overview Issue, 2007 Published March 2008



This 32-page issue of EBJ provides a snapshot of the $25.6-billion Environmental Consulting & Engineering industry with the latest market data by EBJ, interviews with top C&E executives, and other sources. Data includes market size, growth and breakdowns derived from EBI’s annual analysis of its database of revenue generation by more than 400 C&E firms. EBJ’s forecast, derived partly from new responses to EBJ’s 2008 Snapshot Survey, is provided for major client sectors.

Overview: Times have been good for environmental C&E firms and growth is likely to continue into 2008. Although growth slightly slowed from 7.2% in 2006 to 6.5-7% in 2007, the years 2004-2007 are still the strongest period of growth since the late 1980s. However, despite a fourth consecutive year of relative prosperity, executives are somewhat more cautious about the prospects for sustained growth in 2008, with energy development, overall economy, and real estate markets as principal factors of concern. Certain practice areas seem to be immune, but executives are advised to view markets cautiously when considering long-range plans.
