Roland Berger has announced record revenue figures for 2025, with the global strategy consultancy generating €1.01bn in income. This represents the strongest year in the firm’s history, marking a significant milestone for the Munich-based company.
Growth was recorded across all core regions during the year. EMEA experienced growth of 0.4 per cent, while Asia saw expansion of 19 per cent and the Americas recorded growth of 11 per cent. The UK achieved above-average growth alongside these international markets.
The results were achieved in a more demanding market environment where clients placed greater emphasis on efficiency and measurable outcomes. Growth was driven by projects focused on integrating AI solutions, digitising processes, and optimising supply chains.
Michael Knott, Managing Partner at Roland Berger London, noted that the consulting market is entering a more exacting phase where business outcomes matter more than ever. The firm’s growth reflects a clear shift in client priorities towards providing not just proprietary data-driven insights but also transformation-based value delivery.
The company further expanded its international footprint in 2025 and is now present on all continents following the opening of its office in Sydney, Australia. Its US presence was strengthened with a fifth office in Houston, strategically located in a global hub for the energy and chemicals industries.
Through targeted acquisitions, the firm has also expanded its capabilities in selected specialist segments. The newly established entity Ralf Schmitz CRO Management has been deploying experienced Chief Restructuring Officers to companies since November 2025 to lead complex restructuring programmes.
With the acquisition of the battery-focused consulting team from ALEXEC Consulting, Roland Berger has strengthened its position in a sector that is becoming increasingly critical to the global industrial landscape. The 2024 acquisition of the UK-headquartered Amane Advisors, a strategy consulting firm specialised in water utilities and the associated ecosystem, was successfully integrated and globally scaled in 2025.
For 2026, Roland Berger expects market conditions to remain challenging and will focus on profitability and sustainable development. At the same time, the firm continues to invest in strengthening its AI and data capabilities to better support clients in harnessing differentiated insight to deliver sustainable value creation.
With its investment in the startup CNTR, founded by serial entrepreneur Jonas Andrulis, Roland Berger is also taking an active role in shaping the next phase of the global AI transformation. CNTR develops a new form of collaborative AI for industrial applications.
Founded in 1967 and headquartered in Munich, Roland Berger supports companies worldwide in shaping and executing complex transformations, from strategic repositioning and performance improvement to the development and application of data-driven, AI-enabled solutions. The firm is committed to embedding sustainability across all its projects.
