Our marketplace data reveals that certain service segments are experiencing double-digit growth, reflecting shifts in corporate strategies, consumer behaviors, and emerging technologies. From retail transformations to AI-powered security and sustainability initiatives, these trends signal key opportunities for field service organizations to expand their offerings.
Here are the top 10 service categories experiencing rapid growth:
1. Break/fix services
Traditional break/fix work remains essential as companies extend asset lifecycles and adapt maintenance strategies to manage costs. Companies are prioritizing cost efficiency and asset longevity, leading to increased demand for repair and maintenance services. Organizations are extending the lifecycles of their equipment and adjusting maintenance strategies to minimize capital expenditures while ensuring operational reliability.
2. Mobile POS installations
Retailers are shifting toward smaller store formats and omnichannel experiences, driving demand for mobile point-of-sale (POS) installations. Quick-service restaurants, convenience stores, and specialty retailers are investing in flexible POS systems to enhance customer transactions and streamline operations.
3. Small format conference rooms
The rise of hybrid work models has accelerated the adoption of “Room in a Box” solutions—standardized, plug-and-play conference room setups with integrated audio-visual and IT solutions. Businesses are investing in these solutions to create consistent and easy-to-deploy meeting spaces across locations.
4. LED video walls
Digital signage and display technologies are advancing rapidly, making LED video walls a preferred solution for corporate and commercial applications. Businesses are leveraging high-quality visual displays for branding, customer engagement, and enhanced collaboration in workspaces.
5. Wi-Fi access point upgrades
Seamless connectivity is essential for modern operations, and businesses are investing in Wi-Fi infrastructure upgrades to support higher traffic, IoT devices, and cloud-based applications. This surge is particularly evident in retail, hospitality, and enterprise sectors.

With the rise of AI and cloud computing, data centers are expanding capacity and optimizing efficiency. Hot-swap capabilities—enabling critical system upgrades without downtime—are becoming increasingly important for organizations managing high-demand computing environments.
7. 5G site surveys
The global 5G rollout is accelerating, driving demand for site surveys and infrastructure planning to optimize coverage, network capacity, and deployment strategies for carriers and enterprises.
