Global Industries with the Highest Growth in Employment in 2023

  • 1. Global Tourism

    Employment Growth for 2023: 11.6%

    The industry will increase at a CAGR of 0.8% to $2.3 trillion over the five years to 2023, including a growth of 13.9% in 2023 alone. Global tourism has performed well during most of the five-year period, with emerging economies stimulating growth. Countries in Asia and South America have experienced robust growth in per capita income, which has enabled consumers in these regions to take overseas trips in increasing numbers. But because of COVID-19, industry revenue collapsed 40.1% in 2020. The global outbreak had an enormous effect on all tourism-related industries as many countries suspended international travel and limited the... Learn More

  • 2. Global Hotels & Resorts

    Employment Growth for 2023: 11.6%

    Over the five years to 2023, the Global Hotels and Resorts industry has expanded. Initially, strong growth before the pandemic occurred as consumers and businesses became more confident about their finances and spent more liberally on luxuries, including travel. This factor resulted in a substantial increase in hotel rooms and occupancy rates, two indicators of a hotel's performance. Global tourist arrivals were also steadily increasing until a drastic drop in 2020 due to the worldwide spread of COVID-19. In 2020 alone, industry revenue declined 40.1% due to the pandemic effect. The pandemic has enormously influenced all tourism-related industries, as many... Learn More

  • 3. Global Travel Agency Services

    Employment Growth for 2023: 7.7%

    Global travel agencies' revenue has grown despite core services dramatically changing due to consumers using online channels to research and book travel. Online booking agents now play a much more significant role alongside traditional brick-and-mortar travel agencies. International tourism thrived before COVID-19, but it severely cut into revenue in 2020, followed by a rebound in 2021 as the economy returned to normal. Global travel agencies' revenue has expanded at a CAGR of 2.5% to $474.7 billion through the end of 2023, including a 9.9% increase in 2023 alone.

    Brick-and-mortar travel agencies have reinvented themselves to remain relevant and competitive as online... Learn More

  • 4. Global Airport Operation

    Employment Growth for 2023: 6.4%

    Airport operators have faced complex operating conditions in recent years. Rising levels of airline passenger traffic before the COVID-19 pandemic enabled airports to earn significant revenue through passenger charges and services provided directly to airlines. At the same time, improving economic conditions increased corporate profit and fueled global manufacturing activity, causing airlines to operate more flights to transport greater quantities of cargo. The COVID-19 pandemic completely disrupted the industry in 2020, causing revenue losses of more than 40.0% in that year alone. Global airport operation revenue has increased at a CAGR of 1.5% to $254.7 billion through the end of... Learn More

  • 5. Global Airlines

    Employment Growth for 2023: 6.2%

    Despite rising levels of airborne passenger and cargo traffic throughout much of the period, revenue for the Global Airlines industry has declined over the five years to 2022 as volatile fuel prices and growing competition, as well as the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic, have placed downward pressure on airline ticket prices and freight shipping rates. At the same time, recent growth in global per capita income, in addition to other solid macroeconomic indicators, fueled demand for airline passenger transportation prior to the pandemic. Overall, industry revenue is estimated to decrease an annualized 0.6% to $785.6 billion over the five years to... Learn More

  • 6. Global Reinsurance Carriers

    Employment Growth for 2023: 5.2%

    The Global Reinsurance Carriers industry has encountered significant challenges over the five years to 2021. Some challenges include an operating landscape consisting of a soft pricing cycle, low interest rates, an increased occurrence of natural disasters and a global pandemic. All of these factors have contributed to the industry's poor performance. As a result, industry revenue is expected to decline at an annualized rate of 1.6% to $228.1 billion over the five years to 2021, including a decline of 5.5% in 2021 alone. This decrease in 2021 can be mainly attributed to the ongoing COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic. As businesses and... Learn More

  • 7. Global Casinos & Online Gambling

    Employment Growth for 2023: 4.8%

    Global casinos and online gambling businesses are still reeling from the aftereffects of the pandemic, with some rebounding swifter than others, depending on their country of operation and specialization. Sinking tourism rates, especially in 2020, left many casinos in dire straits, even if they were able to remain open in some capacity. Many have since reopened, welcoming eager tourists, but some, like those in Macau, continue experiencing operational delays related to the pandemic in 2023. As a result, though revenue began rebounding as early as 2021, revenue has been declining at a CAGR of 1.8% over the past five years,... Learn More

  • 8. Global Military Aircraft & Aerospace Manufacturing

    Employment Growth for 2023: 4.6%

    The Global Military Aircraft and Aerospace Manufacturing industry has grown slightly over the five years to 2022. Just prior to the current period, high levels of debt, underperforming economies and reduced involvement in combat operations forced most Western nations to reduce their spending on defense. However, increasing geopolitical tensions as well as a new administration in the United States resulted in a rebound in the industry, as the country started to increase defense spending, including more purchases of industry products such as military aircraft, missiles, satellites, radars and avionics. As a result, the industry is expected to grow at an... Learn More

  • 9. Global Architectural Services

    Employment Growth for 2023: 4.6%

    The Global Architectural Services industry has contracted over the five years to 2021. Despite economic growth and an infusion of government-funded building projects in emerging nations fueling revenue early during the period, the industry did not fare as well during the latter half of the period. Plus, the ongoing COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic has decreased employment and consumer spending in developed economies, in addition to negatively affecting the global economic operating environment. As a result, industry revenue is forecast to decrease an annualized 2.6% to $181.1 billion over the five years to 2021. This, however, includes an anticipated revenue increase of... Learn More

  • 10. Global Cosmetics Manufacturing

    Employment Growth for 2023: 4.2%

    Global cosmetic manufacturers faced troubles during the period. This industry provides a wide array of products; a good deal of these products are non-discretionary, which partly shielded manufacturers from major disruptions seen in 2020 during COVID-19. However, product lines like fragrances, parts of skincare and makeup are fully discretionary. As the disruptions ran their course, consumers spent less and remained at home to stop the spread of the virus. Because of this, demand for discretionary products plummeted, leaving a huge glut in demand within the market. In more recent years, a return of consumer spending and disposable income has led...
