Trends are one thing. Momentous shifts in demand are another. Market data tells us that field service is experiencing a powerful surge in demand, the effects of which are reverberating around the industry.

 

For field service leaders, this once-in-a generation technology shift represents a remarkable opportunity to take the reins and chase the wealth of new work that is flooding the market.

  • Trend #1: 2022 will be a boom year for service delivery companies with cross-device experience and the ability to mobilize talent to match volatile demand at increasingly dispersed locations.
  • Trend #2: Digitization trends across sectors will accelerate demand for equipment installs and refreshes of self-service equipment, connected devices, technology infrastructure, and more.
  • Trend #3: Shifts in talent availability will result in more diversified labor sourcing strategies.
