May 28, 2026 (Munich/Tokyo) - Roland Berger (Global Headquarters: Munich, Germany; Japan Representative Director: Yuzuru Ohashi), one of Europe's largest management consulting firms, today announced its 2025 results, with revenue reaching a record €1.01 billion. In Asia, revenue grew 19% year-on-year, significantly outpacing the market average, and other major markets also achieved double-digit growth.

2025 saw clients place greater emphasis on efficiency and measurable outcomes from management consulting, leading to a more challenging market environment, but strong performance was achieved. Growth was driven by support focused on implementing AI solutions, digitizing business processes, and optimizing supply chains.

Denis Dupoux, Global Managing Director of Roland Berger and Head of Asia, commented:

"2025 was the most successful year in our firm's history. The Asia region contributed significantly to this growth, with a 19% increase year-on-year. This was driven by growing demand for supply chain transformation and regionalization in Asia, not only from global companies but also from Asian multinationals. Capturing these trends has fueled our strong performance. Across Asia, rapid value chain transformation—including innovation, shorter product development cycles, and improvements in manufacturing quality and cost—is essential for companies to meet both intra-regional and export needs. Amid rapidly changing geopolitical conditions, our European roots have clearly been a competitive advantage. We will continue to support complex needs as the only global strategy consulting firm with European roots that provides global support."

Expansion of Global Network

In 2025, Roland Berger expanded its international presence by opening an office in Sydney, Australia, thus establishing a presence on every continent. In North America, the company opened its fifth office in the U.S. in Houston, the global hub for the energy and chemical industries, strengthening its presence in the United States.

Through strategic acquisitions, Roland Berger has also expanded its expertise in various fields. The newly established "Ralph Schmitz CRO Management" has been dispatching experienced Chief Restructuring Officers (CROs) to companies since November 2025 to lead complex restructuring programs.

Furthermore, in March 2026, the company acquired a consulting team specializing in batteries from ALEXEC Consulting, further strengthening its support in this increasingly important field in the global industrial structure.

Focus on Further Profitability Improvement and AI Development in 2026

Roland Berger expects the market environment to remain challenging in 2026 and will focus on profitability and sustainable development. At the same time, it will continue to invest in strengthening expertise in AI and data to help clients adopt and leverage new technologies.

In January 2026, Roland Berger invested in and took a management role in "CNTR," a startup founded by entrepreneur Jonas Andruliss. CNTR is developing a new form of collaborative AI for industrial applications, and Roland Berger is playing a leading role in shaping the next phase of world-class AI transformation.
