Roland Berger posts record revenue in a more demanding market environment
- 2025 marks the strongest year in the firm’s history (> €1bn revenue)
- Above-market growth across all core regions: Germany +5%, Asia +19%, Americas +11%
- Targeted acquisitions strengthen presence in key growth segments
Munich, May 2026: Global strategy consultancy Roland Berger generated revenues of €1.01bn in 2025, making it the most successful year in the firm’s history. In Germany, the company grew by around 5% year-on-year, significantly outperforming the market. Growth was even stronger in Asia (+19%) and the Americas (+11%), both reaching double-digit levels.
The result was achieved in a more demanding market environment, with clients placing greater emphasis on efficiency and measurable outcomes. Growth was driven by projects focused on integrating AI solutions, digitising processes, and optimising supply chains.
Stefan Schaible, Global Managing Partner at Roland Berger, said: “2025 was the most successful year in our firm’s history. At the same time, we see the market changing noticeably. Trust and independence have become real differentiators in consulting. As the only global strategy consultancy with European roots, this is a clear competitive advantage for us.”
Expansion of the global network
Roland Berger 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 (CROs) 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.
Focus on profitability and data-driven transformation in 2026
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 implementing and scaling new technologies.
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.
